Standing Knees
Rising from Knees: A Tale of Resilience and Reflection
Lyrics
Standing on my knees, just like before
Expressing a sense of humility and vulnerability, being in a subservient position.
I know you might laugh now, I can see you're so tall
Awareness of potential judgment or mockery, noting the other person's apparent confidence.
I guess it's just one of those days, I'll leave and do something else
Acknowledging a challenging day and deciding to shift focus to something else.
'Cause you're no superior than a common pest
Highlighting that the other person is not inherently better or superior, using a metaphor comparing them to a common pest.
Turn around the clock, that's just how it goes
Reflecting on the passage of time, implying acceptance of life's inevitable progression.
Everything I've got, I can hold in my hand
Stating the limited nature of possessions, emphasizing the tangible and manageable aspects of life.
It's cleared my head in two, working every hour
Describing a mental clarity achieved through hard work, possibly in the context of employment.
I'm not sure what I'm meant to do anymore
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about one's purpose or direction in life.
This feeling's so heavy it may hit the floor
Depicting an intense and burdensome emotion that might become overwhelming.
I can't detach myself from it, this feeling's here to stay
Feeling unable to distance oneself from a persistent and impactful emotion.
Turn around the clock, that's just how it goes
Reiteration of the acceptance of the passage of time and the inevitability of life's progression.
Everything I've got, I can hold in my hand
Reiterating the idea that material possessions are limited and can be held in one's hand.
Standing on my knees, just like before
Repeating the image of being in a humble or subservient position, emphasizing continuity.
I know you might laugh now, I can see you're so tall
Acknowledging the potential for laughter from the other person, emphasizing their tall stature.
I guess it's just one of those days, I'll leave and do something else
Recalling the challenging nature of the day and the decision to redirect focus elsewhere.
'Cause you're no superior than a common pest
Reiterating that the other person is not superior, using the metaphor of a common pest.
