Muddy Water
Embrace Your True Self: A Reflection on Muddy Waters
Lyrics
Why do you wash in muddy water?
Questioning the choice of engaging in unclean or questionable activities.
Why do you need to hide?
Asking about the need for concealing oneself or one's true identity.
Do you feel stronger
Inquiring if one feels more empowered when adopting a false persona.
When the fake has been applied?
Questioning the motivation behind using deception or falsehood.
Why do you wash in muddy rain?
Asking about the purpose of enduring difficulties or challenges.
Do you feel you're being watched?
Wondering if one senses constant observation or scrutiny.
You can't describe this kind of pain
Describing an indescribable pain that comes with compromised freedom.
But your freedom is getting squashed
Highlighting the diminishing state of personal freedom.
Ooo you don't have to hide
Encouraging self-acceptance and dispelling the need for hiding.
You're beautiful inside
Affirming the beauty that lies within, promoting self-love.
Ooo you don't have to stray
Reiterating the message of not needing to deviate from one's true self.
You're wonderful anyway
Emphasizing the inherent wonderfulness despite external pressures.
Why do you wash in muddy water?
Repeating the question about engaging in unclean practices.
You can just be you
Encouraging authenticity by asserting that one can just be themselves.
Do it all to look better
Questioning the extent to which one goes to enhance physical appearance.
Let your life be true
Advocating for living a truthful and genuine life.
Do they make you do it?
Asking if external forces compel certain actions or behaviors.
There's some sort of bar that's leaving a scar
Highlighting the negative impact of societal standards, leaving emotional scars.
Don't let them do it
Advising against succumbing to external pressures.
You're pushing yourself further away
Observing the self-destructive consequences of distancing oneself.
Do you want to live that way?
Prompting reflection on the desirability of living in a compromised way.
