Open Ended
Embracing Resilience: Open Ended by Holly Munro
Lyrics
All about this spring mirage
Alluding to a deceptive or temporary aspect of the current season
The things I thought would kill me
Challenges or hardships that were expected to be detrimental
Surfacing like lily pads, the bruises of my guilt trip
Emotional scars resurfacing, resembling lily pads, remnants of a guilt-inducing experience
Sore to touch and slow to heal but there’s nothing like the feeling
Painful and slow recovery from emotional wounds, yet the experience is valued
Of showing up for yourself cus your the one that needs it
Empowering oneself because self-support is crucial
The things I thought would kill me
Repetition of line 2, emphasizing the anticipated challenges
I’ve befriended nothings ended
Acceptance that certain things have not concluded, suggesting ongoing personal growth
With thoughts of healing
Reflecting on the process of healing
For me, for you, it’s open ended
Embracing an open-ended journey of healing for both the speaker and others
Done with feeling full of doubt cus you can’t trust feeling confident
Rejecting self-doubt and the unreliability of confidence
There’s no need to prove yourself, your power is your instinct
Encouraging confidence in one's innate power and instincts
It’s ok when nothing lands, it doesn’t have to change you
Acceptance of situations where expectations are unmet, highlighting personal resilience
Fall into your teardrops, cus water is what made you
Encouraging the acknowledgment and acceptance of tears, symbolizing vulnerability and origin
The things I thought would kill me
Reiteration of line 2, emphasizing the transformative nature of challenges
I’ve befriended nothings ended
Reaffirmation that certain aspects have not concluded, reinforcing ongoing growth
With thoughts of healing
Continuation of contemplation on the healing process
For me, for you, it’s open ended
Reiterating the openness of the healing journey for the speaker and others
All about this spring mirage, glowing from the inside
Revisiting the deceptive or transient nature of the current season with inner radiance
A little bit of self belief, a blessing I had disguised
Recognition of self-belief as a concealed blessing
Coasting over feelings, am I being condescending?
Questioning if expressing certain feelings might be perceived as condescending
Nothing left to prove except learning how to mean it
Emphasizing the absence of a need to prove oneself, focusing on genuine intentions
The things I thought would kill me
Repetition of line 2, reinforcing the transformative impact of expected challenges
I’ve befriended nothings ended
Affirmation that certain elements have not concluded, indicating ongoing personal development
With thoughts of healing
Continuation of introspection on the healing process
For me, for you, it’s open ended
Reiteration of the ongoing, open-ended nature of healing for both the speaker and others
The things I thought would kill me
Repetition of line 2, underscoring the transformative nature of anticipated challenges
I’ve befriended nothings ended
Confirmation that certain aspects have not concluded, highlighting ongoing personal growth
With thoughts of healing
Reflecting on the enduring process of healing
For me, for you, it’s open ended
Reaffirmation of the continuous, open-ended nature of healing for both the speaker and others
