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
