As Long As It Feels Right
Embracing Life's Turbulence: Jana Pochop's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
I broke down in Minnesota
I experienced a breakdown in Minnesota.
Both by temperament and car
Both my temperament and car have a tendency to break down.
I got baptized with the hood up
I metaphorically got baptized with the car hood up during a summer monsoon.
While the summer monsoon roared
Describing the intense weather conditions during the baptism.
I am good at my own buttons
I am skilled at pushing my own emotional buttons.
I will push them til I break
I will continue pushing those buttons until I reach a breaking point.
When I finally fall apart
When I finally break down, I respond with physical force.
I punch a fist into the ache
Expressing a physical reaction to emotional pain.
I gotta keep my eyes bright, I will see the sun
Emphasizing the need to maintain optimism and brightness despite challenges.
I'm walking with a flashlight
Using a flashlight as a metaphor for navigating through difficulties.
One foot in front of the other one
Emphasizing the importance of moving forward step by step.
As long as it feels right
The key is to continue as long as it feels right.
I wake the day up fighting
Describing a resilient attitude towards facing challenges each day.
I burn horizons from both ends
Metaphorically burning both ends of the day, indicating a busy and intense lifestyle.
I fight the fire monopolizing
Fighting against overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
All my thoughts when I'm in bed
Struggling with inner turmoil during bedtime.
I am fighting for the kindness
Fighting for kindness and compassion in small, incremental ways.
In its incremental spark
Highlighting the importance of small acts of kindness.
For all the souls that are the lions
Honoring those who express love courageously, even in challenging times.
Who let their love roar in the dark
Metaphorically, the roar of love in the dark symbolizes courage and strength.
I gotta keep my eyes bright, I will see the sun
Reiterating the need to maintain a positive outlook.
I'm walking with a flashlight
Continuing to navigate challenges with metaphorical guidance.
One foot in front of the other one
Reemphasizing the importance of taking one step at a time.
As long as it feels right
The key is to continue as long as it feels right.
It's the storm in Minnesota
Referring to a challenging situation or internal struggle, likened to a storm in Minnesota.
It's the road that takes me home
The journey back home is described as a road filled with challenges.
It's the fight I pick out every time
Choosing not to be alone and actively seeking companionship during tough times.
I can't to be alone
Expressing discomfort with solitude.
It's the clouds that pull the storm up
Metaphorically linking clouds to emotional storms.
It's the company I keep
Highlighting the influence of the people around and their impact on one's life.
It's the things my mother said out loud
Recalling the spoken words of the mother during vulnerable moments.
When she thought I'd gone to sleep
Reflecting on the impact of parental advice even when it seems unheard.
It's the sun that breaks the clouds up
Symbolizing hope and positivity breaking through challenging times.
The first deep breath after the flood
Metaphorically, the relief after a difficult period.
It's the magnetic force that binds us
Describing a strong, inherent connection among people.
With all the iron in our blood
Referencing the shared human experience and connection through blood ties.
I gotta keep my eyes bright, I will see the sun
Reiterating the importance of maintaining optimism despite challenges.
I'm walking with a flashlight
Continuing to navigate challenges with metaphorical guidance.
One foot in front of the other one
Reemphasizing the importance of taking one step at a time.
As long as it feels right
The key is to continue as long as it feels right.
