Lyrics
To be loving when the knives are out
To exhibit love and kindness despite facing hostility or opposition
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
Requires significant bravery and unwavering conviction
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Expressing a feeling of being robotic or mechanical, devoid of genuine emotions
Trying to impress is the nature of my work
Striving to make an impression is an inherent part of the speaker's job or existence
And it's so hard to remain open
It's extremely challenging to remain vulnerable and receptive
If it's true, it can't be spoken
Truth often cannot be articulated or expressed effectively
Really hard
Expressing the difficulty of the situation
Really hard
Reiterating the significant challenge being faced
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Politicians or speakers skilled in oratory believe they control the narrative
Words as power is all they'll ever know
They perceive language as a tool of dominance and influence
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Feeling like an automatic response, lacking depth or spontaneity
Trying to impress is the nature of our work
Striving to make an impression is a collective aspect of their work
And it's so hard to remain open
Remaining receptive and open-hearted is extremely challenging
If you bend, you won't get broken
Flexibility and adaptation can prevent one from being shattered or harmed
Really hard
Reiterating the profound difficulty of the situation
Really hard
Emphasizing the magnitude of the challenge
Wake up from this dreaming state
A call to awaken from a state of illusion or unawareness
A long scream out, it's not too late
Urging to vocalize distress or dissatisfaction before it's too late
I am dying to begin
Expressing a strong desire to initiate something new
I am dying to begin again
Expressing a strong desire to start afresh or make a new beginning
Really hard
Reiterating the immense difficulty of the situation
Really hard
Emphasizing again the magnitude of the challenge being faced
