SWIMS
Navigating Still Waters: Overcoming Life's Currents with Ivy Kashmir
Lyrics
I swim
I engage in an effort or struggle
But it feels like I go nowhere
Despite my efforts, it seems like I make no progress
Feels like I go nowhere
Reiteration of feeling stagnant or unprogressive
Why does it seem so hard
Questioning the difficulty of the situation
All I do is try
Expressing continuous attempts
I just wanna make it out alive
Desire to survive or succeed in the situation
Make it out alive
Reiteration of the desire to survive or succeed
Better on the other side
Belief that things are better in a different situation or circumstance
I'm not just an image
Asserting personal identity beyond superficial appearance
I'm not just an image
Reiteration of asserting a deeper identity beyond appearance
I don't come from nothing
Denying a background of nothingness or emptiness
I don't come from nowhere
Rejecting the idea of coming from nowhere or having no origin
What am I supposed to leave here
Questioning what one should leave behind or contribute in this situation or life
Am I supposed to be here
Questioning one's purpose or existence in the current circumstance
I don't wanna hold on
Expressing a desire to let go
I don't wanna be strong
Not wanting to maintain strength or resilience
Go on
Encouragement to continue despite difficulties
Be strong
Encouragement to remain emotionally strong
Be soft
Encouragement to be emotionally vulnerable or gentle
Overcome the hard
Conquer the challenges or difficulties
Let the mud settle
Allow things to settle or find clarity after difficulty
