Julie
Julie's Enigmatic Grasp: A Tale of Longing and Misunderstanding
Lyrics
You're hard on me, Julie
You criticize me harshly, Julie.
But the touch of your hand
The physical contact of your hand is the only thing I desire and find confusing.
Is all that I long for and misunderstand
My feelings are imposed upon me excessively.
Upon me unduly
My emotions are fleeting and easily lost, like sand.
For mine are like sand
You are tough on me, Julie. Can you support me?
You're hard on me, Julie
Comparing Julie to a spirited seabird, mysterious and not revealing the reasons for my perceived guilt.
Would you help me to stand?
While waiting for an explanation, I find myself in a metaphorical hallway.
You're like a spirited seabird
Describing Julie further as a seabird, possibly elusive and enigmatic.
Who won't tell me the crime
Julie refuses to disclose the alleged crime for which I am held responsible.
Of which I am guilty
The uncertainty continues, and in the meantime,
So in the meantime
While waiting, I draw lines, perhaps symbolizing boundaries or limitations.
I'll sit in the hallway
Julie resembles a well-traveled jailbird with a similar voice.
I'll be drawing the lines
I am actively engaged in drawing lines, possibly referring to setting personal boundaries.
Of a well-traveled jailbird
Comparing oneself to a jailbird, suggesting a troubled or constrained existence.
With a mouth just like mine
The similarity extends to having a voice similar to Julie's.
I can remember the first time
Recalling the initial realization of Julie's effort to distinguish between lies and inner truth.
I could see that you were trying
I noticed your attempt to discern truth from falsehood.
To distinguish the lying
Julie trying to separate lies from genuine feelings.
From what was inside
Reflecting on whether this effort was worthwhile.
Was it worth your time?
Was the time invested in this endeavor justified?
Cause I recorded myself crying
Recording my own emotional vulnerability.
You weren't buying it
Your skepticism led me to doubt my own emotions.
So neither did I
I, too, became unconvinced.
You're breaking me, Julie
You are causing emotional distress, Julie.
I do the best that I can
I put forth my best effort, but you consistently find fault.
But you always find something
You always discover something to reprimand.
That you must reprimand
The love I possess is genuine, but it seems to be all I can endure.
And all the love I've got truly
Expressing vulnerability by admitting that the love I have is at its limit.
Is all the love I can stand
You are emotionally overwhelming, Julie.
You're breaking me, Julie
Can you assist me in standing strong?
Would you help me to stand?
(Reiteration of seeking support from Julie.)
