And the Experience
Ephemeral Journey: Embracing Life's Twists with I Mother Earth
Lyrics
Snowin' in July
Snowfall in an unexpected time or situation
My girls mouth on my toes
An intimate moment with a partner
Complainin' old ghosts
Complaints from past regrets or memories
In bedsheets of love
Intimacy represented metaphorically as love-filled bedsheets
Christmas
Symbolizing a contrasting element, unusual for the season
In my legs
Christmas symbolism in the speaker's legs, possibly discomfort or burden
A strange start to summer
Strange beginning to a season associated with warmth
But I gave it all up
Decision to sacrifice something significant
In time to wonder
Reflecting on choices and embracing curiosity
Just when I thought
Uncertainty despite thinking one knows their desires
I knew what I wanted
Discovering a contradiction through an unexpected encounter
A dirty old man reminds me
A reminder of youth from an unexpected source
I'm young
Embracing youthful energy and spirit
Experience
Emphasis on gaining wisdom through life experiences
The truth of all colors
Recognizing the truth in all aspects of life
Think it out
Encouragement to think deeply
Feel it up
Encouragement to fully experience emotions
But do it right now
Immediate action and living in the present
How long 'til I'm real
Desire for authenticity and self-discovery
I long to be real
Longing for genuine self-realization
How long 'til I'm real
Repetition of the longing for authenticity
Left home to live
Leaving home to explore life
And I did
Successfully living independently
Trippin' all alone...
Reflecting on solo experiences and self-discovery
I've traveled miles
Traveling for mental exploration and growth
Because of my head
Challenges stemming from the speaker's thoughts
I've sang to myself
Using self-expression as a coping mechanism
To keep me from going mad
Maintaining sanity through personal creative outlets
The land as my bed
Nature and the earth as a source of comfort
I slept beside the road
Sleeping by the roadside, embracing simplicity
The ground is my friend
Nature as a supportive companion
I became the road
Becoming one with the journey
The longer I'm gone
Continuous personal evolution while away
Changin' on the go
Adapting and evolving during the journey
The better I'll know
Increased self-awareness through experiences
Mother and Dad
Limited support and guidance from parents
Can only give you so much
Recognizing parental limitations in providing understanding
So I gave it to myself
Self-reliance for emotional fulfillment
In the real world, love
Seeking love and authenticity in the real world
Twenty first century
Embracing a mindset focused on personal growth
Mind expansion
Engaging in mental exploration for advancement
I wrote my own poems
Personal creation and expression through poetry
'Cause I lived 'em
Authenticity and depth of experience reflected in self-written poems
