Try and Put Myself Down
Embracing the Storm: Jeremy Waun's Reflection on Life's Journey
Lyrics
Try and put myself down
Attempting to criticize or belittle oneself
In a simple song
Expressing these feelings within a straightforward musical piece
As I try and wipe myself clean
Trying to cleanse oneself emotionally or mentally
In a bathroom stall
In a private space, metaphorically referring to isolation
Someplace down the highway
In a distant location, possibly reflecting a sense of detachment
What does any of it mean
Questioning the significance or purpose of these actions
Doing the thing
Engaging in a habitual activity
Is it only cause your used to it
Wondering if the action is only performed due to familiarity
One things for sure I ain't gunna forget the rain
Determined not to forget difficult or challenging experiences
I'm the same as I was when I was a kid
Stating continuity of self from childhood to the present
Lord I thank you for this
Expressing gratitude despite facing challenges
It's a long road ahead and I don't see an end
Anticipating a lengthy and uncertain journey ahead
What are ya doing man with the pen in your hand
Questioning one's creative process or purpose
It used to be you savior
Previously considered a source of salvation or guidance
Trying to rewrite the book of lies
Attempting to change or correct past deceptions or falsehoods
That life will get you into it
Warning about the consequences of living a deceitful life
One things for sure I ain't gunna forget the rain
Reiteration of not forgetting challenging experiences
I'm the same as I was when I was a kid
Reaffirmation of personal continuity despite life changes
Lord I thank you for this
Continuing gratitude amidst uncertainty
It's a long road ahead and I don't see an end
Emphasizing the perceived indefinite nature of challenges ahead
Try and put myself down
Repeating the act of self-criticism within a simple musical composition
In a simple song
Reiterating the theme of expressing personal criticism in song form
