Stand by the Curb
Standing Strong Amid Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
I met a man once in a log hut
I encountered a man in a log hut
With scars on both eyes and marks from bear claws
He had scars on both eyes and bear claw marks
A tall lad in a quiet and wild life
A tall young man leading a quiet and untamed life
Cut and shaped to match the dim of the pines
He was molded to blend with the dimness of the pine trees
Like he's not afraid, no
He appears fearless
All like he's not aware of
Seemingly oblivious to
What's like to be in the middle of
Experiencing the chaos of
A bullseye when everything's out of control
A situation where everything is uncontrollable
So I said
I expressed
Sometimes I wish to live life
Expressing a desire to live in denial of age
In complete denial about my age
Not acknowledging the passage of time
How blind I've been to trust my head over my eyes
Regret for trusting intellect over intuition
He said
He responded
William that's too much to bear with
Expressing the burden of enduring too much
In just one life so why would care if
Suggesting not to care about the unpredictable
You won't understand why it doesn't go the way you want
Understanding the unpredictability of life
Just let it all out, I know you're asking how
Encouraging to express emotions without restraint
Well how would I know? Just follow the flow
Guidance to go with the flow
And let it all out but don't ask me how
Encouragement to let emotions out without seeking advice
Stand by the curb, Just follow the flow
Advising to stand by the curb and go with the flow
Enough with motives, enough
Dismissing motives
Oh knower of times when nowhere
Addressing someone knowledgeable about uncertain times
Would mind like glorified
Indicating a lack of concern like being glorified
Locked up Diamonds and tokens
Reference to valuable possessions like diamonds and tokens
Let down the path, the calling
Directed down a path, a life's journey
Each time you're left to wonder
Questioning the ability to release emotions
Would I be able to let it all out?
Expressing uncertainty about letting emotions out
I said
I replied
Of course, but nothing can help me process
Acknowledging that processing is challenging
The way to react to the love to the losses
Difficulty in reacting to love and losses
And stand so tall over my flaws in life
Desire to stand tall despite life's imperfections
And I wonder what's left to hold on to
Contemplating what remains to hold onto
When nothing goes the way you want?
Questioning when nothing goes as desired
So how can I learn how to let it all out
Seeking guidance on expressing emotions
If you don't show me how to follow the flow?
Emphasizing the need to learn how to go with the flow
So how can I learn if I don't know how
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the process
To stand by the Curb and follow the flow?
Reiterating the importance of standing by the curb and going with the flow
Just let it all out, I know you're asking how
Encouragement to release emotions without restraint
Well how would I know? Just follow the flow
Reiteration to go with the flow without seeking advice
And let it all out but don't ask me how
Advice to let emotions out without questioning how
Stand by the curb and follow the flow
Emphasizing the importance of standing by the curb and going with the flow
