Hazel Eyes
Hazel Eyes: Triumph Over Painful Past
Lyrics
They always told me don't forget where you came from
Advisory to remember one's roots and origins.
I can't imagine that its easy to do
Expressing difficulty in imagining the act of not forgetting one's origin.
So many moments I wish I could not remember
Reflecting on unwanted memories from the past.
All the pain that you went and put me through
Addressing pain caused by someone's actions.
Your attention, your affection
Noting the undesirable aspects of attention and affection received.
The kind of love that I wish I never had
Regret over experiencing a type of love one wishes to avoid.
A littler girl had to hide from her own world
Describing a young girl forced to hide from her own world.
Runs away from the shadow of a man
Escaping the influence or control of a male figure.
Here I am letting go of all the pain
Letting go of emotional pain.
I am stronger now I'll never be the same
Claiming strength and a transformation after experiencing pain.
I am beautiful you'll never see me cry
Asserting beauty and resilience despite challenges.
Left me with nothing but these hazel eyes
Expressing the lasting impact of the experience through hazel eyes.
Everything they said happens for a reason
Questioning the concept that everything happens for a reason.
That is something Daddy I don't understand
Expressing confusion and lack of understanding toward a father figure.
You left my heart black and blue, you left me bleeding
Describing emotional and physical damage caused by the person.
Did touching me make you feel more like a man
Questioning the motives behind harmful actions.
From your darkness I rise
Embracing resilience and rising above the darkness.
From a life a despise
Highlighting a life of disdain and rejection.
I will light up like the fourth of July
Expressing a determination to shine brightly.
I'm breaking free, just look at me
Asserting freedom and personal growth.
I'm rising like an eagle in the sky
Metaphorically rising and breaking free like an eagle in the sky.
Here I am letting go of all the pain
Reiteration of letting go of pain and claiming strength.
I am stronger now I'll never be the same
Reaffirming personal strength and transformation.
I am beautiful you'll never see me cry
Reasserting beauty and a refusal to show vulnerability.
Left me with nothing but these hazel eyes
Reiterating the lasting impact reflected in hazel eyes.
I know that you're feeling bad
Acknowledging the other person's regret or sadness.
Yea I bet thinking of me makes you sad
Speculating on the emotional impact of memories on the other person.
With these eyes you gave me I can clearly see
Highlighting clarity gained through the hazel eyes.
I had to get away and break
Expressing the necessity to escape and break free.
Break free
Emphasizing the act of breaking free from a difficult situation.
Here I am letting go of all the pain
Repeating the theme of letting go of pain and gaining strength.
I am stronger now I'll never be the same
Reiterating personal strength and a transformed identity.
I am beautiful you'll never see me cry
Reaffirming beauty and a refusal to display vulnerability.
Left me with nothing but these hazel eyes
Reiterating the lasting impact reflected in hazel eyes.
Left me with nothing
Emphasizing the sense of being left with nothing.
Left me with nothing
Repetition of the idea of being left with nothing.
