No Shame
Embracing Vulnerability: Finding Peace Amid Life's Storms
Lyrics
There's a noise outside and the wind is screaming
Describing external disturbance with the wind and noise.
It's telling me to up and go
Feeling urged to leave or make a change.
But where do I run if I've got no home
Expressing a sense of homelessness or lack of belonging.
And how to rest with a restless soul
Struggling to find peace due to inner restlessness.
Oh I try to abide by the rules of your common conduct
Attempting to conform to societal norms but feeling disconnected.
To see that I just can't follow that beat
Unable to follow the expected rhythm or norms.
Coming from the outside banging on, bangin on
External pressures causing disturbance and intrusion.
So how do I get out of myself without dying
Questioning how to escape one's own self without self-destruction.
And how do I let go 'cos I'm tired of running
Expressing weariness of running away from challenges.
So pull me out and lay me, lay me down
Seeking support to be lifted from a difficult situation.
I close my eyes, as I hit the ground
Imagining closing one's eyes as a way to cope or surrender.
I raise my hands and feel no shame
Finding strength and pride in vulnerability, feeling no shame.
It's ok, it's ok if you feel this way
Encouraging others that it's acceptable to feel the same way.
And I, I slip and slide from the high to the lowest of the tides
Describing emotional fluctuations from highs to lows.
Trying to keep, keep my head up
Struggling to maintain a positive outlook.
And wave coming after wave dragging me, dragging me
Continuous challenges and difficulties, depicted as waves.
So how do we get out of this mess without lying
Questioning how to escape collective challenges truthfully.
How do we let go 'cos we're tired of running
Expressing collective weariness of avoiding difficulties.
So pull me out and lay me, lay me down
Reiterating the need for support and relief from struggles.
I close my eyes as I, I hit the ground
Imagining closing eyes again, perhaps as a symbolic surrender.
I raise my hands and feel no shame
Reaffirming the acceptance of vulnerability without shame.
It's ok, ok if you feel this way
Encouraging others to accept their feelings without judgment.
So pull me out and lay me, lay me down
Repetition of the call for support and a sense of release.
I close my eyes as I hit the ground
Reiteration of closing eyes, perhaps indicating surrender.
It's ok, ok if you feel this way
Reaffirming that it's okay to feel vulnerable and seek help.
