Shake
Embracing Change: Finding Resilience in John Moods' 'Shake'
Lyrics
I am not a lion anymore
I no longer possess the fierceness or dominance associated with a lion.
I am not that lonesome ancient roar Like a tree before
I'm not that lonely, ancient roar, similar to a tree bracing itself before a storm.
the storm
Preparing myself for an imminent downfall or difficult situation.
I am standing ready for the fall
A sense of awareness or anticipation for something approaching.
Up ahead
There's a distant future or destination.
I feel
Sensing or having an intuition about something.
There’s a big old world Just out of reach
Feeling that there's a vast world beyond one's grasp.
Here inside
Within this imagined or idealized state.
this dream
In this state of reverie or subconsciousness.
Where the time
Time seems to have wiped away most of what was.
Erased
Almost everything has been erased by time.
Most everything
Reflecting on past experiences or existence.
I’ve been
Reflecting on personal history or actions.
Now that your feelings have gone cold I’m just another creature on your wall Like a flame i shake
Feeling insignificant or dismissed after someone's feelings have turned cold.
And fall apart when you blow
Emotionally breaking down when faced with adversity or rejection.
Up ahead
Perceiving something in the near future.
I feel
Sensing the existence of a large, daunting world.
There’s a big old world
That world seems to have hostility directed towards oneself.
That’ got it it out for me
Underneath a protective covering, where tranquility exists.
Here below the leaves
At peace with the mind in this particular space.
Where my mind’s at ease
Feeling content as there's nothing else to achieve or become.
and there’s nothing more to be
An external, unfamiliar place or circumstance.
Out there
In the outside world.
new born
A new beginning or a fresh start.
I just wanna be A fire
Desiring to embody the strength and intensity of fire amidst chaos.
In the storm
Aspiring to be resilient and powerful within turmoil or difficulty.
