Stranded
Embracing Solitude: Finding Strength in Being Stranded
Lyrics
Here I stand, with open hands.
Expressing a readiness to receive or accept something with sincerity and vulnerability.
With nothing to show, I stand where I began.
Despite time passing, there is a lack of progress or visible achievement.
You talk so strong, you do no wrong.
Describing someone who presents themselves confidently and faultless.
Save your breath, I won't be here for long.
Rejecting the words of someone confident, indicating a limited patience or tolerance.
Here I stand, alone I stand.
Reiterating a stance of standing alone, emphasizing a sense of isolation.
Small in this as a single grain of sand.
Portraying oneself as insignificant, comparing to a tiny grain of sand.
But now I can, I know I can.
Expressing newfound confidence and belief in one's capabilities.
And I know you have them, let me see your hands.
Asking others to reveal their vulnerabilities or struggles by showing their hands.
I feel stranded, on my own
Feeling abandoned and left to face challenges alone.
I feel wasted, tired, used up and alone.
Expressing emotions of exhaustion, weariness, and solitude.
I feel doubted, shadows of doubt on me,
Feeling uncertain due to the presence of skepticism and mistrust.
Never been, never seen the uselessness in me.
Reflecting on never experiencing or witnessing personal value or purpose.
Cause there's times that I've been,
Acknowledging past moments of existence or action.
And there are things we've had.
Acknowledging shared experiences or possessions in the past.
despite all the lack of trust they had,
Despite distrust, there were moments of unity or shared understanding.
But you can't complain
Advising against expressing dissatisfaction when remaining unchanged.
When you stay the same,
Stating that complaining is unwarranted when maintaining the status quo.
If it keeps you sane now
Suggesting that maintaining stability is a source of mental well-being.
On my own, I feel stranded
Reiterating the feeling of isolation and abandonment.
