Before I Go
Navigating Codependency: Reflections on Life's Seasons
Lyrics
You are so proud and all left out again
You feel a sense of pride but still experience exclusion or being left out repeatedly.
Reap what you sow you're getting old
You are facing the consequences of your actions or choices as you age.
Defend your mind, not healed right
Your mind is under attack or affected negatively and hasn't fully recovered.
Then come on back another night
Despite the challenges, you are invited to return or try again at another time.
Well aren't you just so codependent?
There's a suggestion of being excessively reliant on others for emotional support.
Do you tell yourself
Questioning whether you deceive yourself.
You're someone else?
Wondering if you project a false identity to cope.
Did you paint this hell knowing
Did you knowingly create a difficult situation or environment, understanding it would affect you?
It was for yourself?
Creating a metaphorical "hell" that you now find yourself in.
How do you feel when you're left out?
How do you emotionally respond when excluded or left out?
Before I go let's cut this clean
Before leaving or ending something, let's resolve or conclude matters cleanly.
'Cause flowers also die in spring
Referencing the impermanence of beauty or positive things, likening it to the temporary nature of life.
And all the dead must lie down
Everyone, including those who have passed away, must eventually rest.
But who is there to bare you now?
Questioning who will support or comfort you when you need it.
Well aren't you just so codependent?
Reiteration of being overly reliant on others emotionally.
Do you tell yourself
Questioning self-deception once more.
You're someone else?
Reflecting on adopting a false persona or identity to cope with situations.
Did you paint this hell
Asking if you knowingly put yourself in a challenging situation that affects you.
Knowing it was for yourself?
Realizing that the difficult circumstances were self-inflicted.
How do you feel when you're left out?
Exploring emotional responses to exclusion or being left out.
