You Can Show It
Unveiling Vulnerability: Embracing the Depths of Emotion with 'You Can Show It'
Lyrics
Sometimes you know I swear
Sometimes the speaker expresses strong emotions
Sometimes you know I swear like a soldier
Comparing the intensity of swearing to that of a soldier
Sometimes I want to cry
Occasionally feeling the need to cry
Sometimes I want to cry on your cold shoulder
Desiring comfort and solace on someone's cold shoulder
War is over
Declaring the end of a war
It's over
Acknowledging the conclusion of a conflict
So call me crazy
Open to being called crazy
I can take it
Confident in handling criticism
Sometimes you get so scared
Addressing moments of fear
Sometimes you get so scared but you don't show me
Acknowledging fear but not expressing it openly
Sometimes you're so afraid
Admitting to being scared at times
Sometimes you're so afraid but you don't show me
Concealing fear from others
Babe I know you
Recognizing the partner's emotions
Why don't you show me
Encouraging the partner to express emotions
You can show me
Expressing openness to receiving emotions
You can show me
Repeated emphasis on the invitation to share emotions
You can show me
-You can show me
-I get lonely
Admitting to loneliness
And I get scared
Expressing fear
I am the child for who my mother cared
Referencing childhood and maternal care
Everyone's crazy
Labeling everyone as crazy
The rest are died
Suggesting the death of others
And I don't remember
Losing memory of maternal words
A word that mother said
Uncertainty about maternal advice
You can show it
Encouraging the expression of emotions
You can show it
-You can show it
-You call me crazy
Reiterating openness to being called crazy
I can take it
Asserting resilience to criticism
You can show it
Reiterating the invitation to share emotions
You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-I'm just a dragon
Describing oneself as a dragon
I chase my tail
Engaging in repetitive, cyclical behavior
Still feel those eye's
Recalling the weight of judgmental eyes
The weight to watch me fell
Feeling observed and judged
I know something's
Acknowledging the existence of unspeakable things
Are better left unsaid
Recognizing the wisdom of silence
I might be tough
Portraying a tough exterior despite internal fears
But god knows I get scared
Acknowledging vulnerability despite toughness
You can show it
Repetition of the invitation to express emotions
You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-You can show it
-Show it
Emphasizing the act of showing emotions
