Tried
Embracing Imperfections: A Journey Through Sacrifice and Self-Discovery in Jay Angelo's 'Tried'
Lyrics
Only 6 am and my hands already tied
At 6 am, feeling restricted or burdened.
Got a pretty little thing
Referring to a person, possibly a romantic interest.
She feels hideous inside
Despite outward beauty, the person feels ugly inside.
Walking through this maze
Navigating a complex situation or life challenges.
Exits all in disguise
The ways out are not obvious or straightforward.
Put you in my suitcase till the smell starts to rise
Metaphorically putting someone in a situation until problems arise.
Nowhere to go and nowhere to hide
Feeling trapped with no escape or concealment.
The ups and the down
Experiencing both highs and lows in life.
The smiles and the cries
Expressing a range of emotions, including joy and sorrow.
Wanna please me?
Asking for effort to please.
Okay let me see you fly
Encouraging someone to overcome challenges.
But even if you can’t
Even if unsuccessful, acknowledging the attempt.
At least I know tried
Acknowledging the effort made despite potential failure.
At least you tried
Repeating acknowledgment of trying, possibly for emphasis.
At least you tried
-At least you tried
-At least you tried
-All the sacrifice
Recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices made.
I know you're tired
Acknowledging fatigue or weariness.
So I’ll hold you despite
Offering support despite perceived flaws.
Being hideous in your own mind
Recognizing self-perceived ugliness or inadequacy.
What does it take for me
Questioning what it takes for loyalty and commitment.
For you not to wanna escape from me?
Asking what would prevent someone from wanting to stay.
Thought I paid my dues
Believing past efforts justify present expectations.
By looking out for you
Having cared for the other person in the past.
But it’s gettin hazy
Feeling uncertain or confused about the situation.
I can’t let it faze me
Resisting being affected negatively.
Rather stay in my day dreams
Preferencing imaginative or positive thoughts over harsh reality.
Than become a real life feen
Choosing not to succumb to destructive habits.
And visit Heavens pretty beams
Referencing an idyllic afterlife or positive outcome.
Your heart can kill
Emphasizing the emotional impact of actions.
Even if you can’t see it in my eyes
Stating that emotional pain may not be visible.
But at least I know tried
Acknowledging personal effort despite potential consequences.
At least you tried
Reiterating the importance of trying, possibly for emphasis.
At least you tried
-At least you tried
-At least you tried
-All the sacrifice
Reiterating recognition of sacrifices made for the other person.
I know you're tired
Acknowledging and empathizing with the other person's fatigue.
So I’ll hold you despite
Offering comfort and support despite self-perceived flaws.
Being hideous in your own mind
Acknowledging self-perceived inadequacy or ugliness.
