Softer
Embracing Change: Shifting Tides of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It's true, I used to be softer
Reflecting on a past state of being more tender or sensitive.
Hadn't any grooves
Describing a previous lack of distinct patterns or habits.
I used to be sweeter
Recalling a time when the speaker was more amiable or kind.
Sweetened up the room
Illustrating how the speaker's presence positively affected surroundings.
But you were my downfall
Pointing to someone or something that led to the speaker's decline.
It came in many parts
Describing the downfall as multifaceted, involving various elements.
Tore me from the woman I wanted to become
Expressing the separation from a desired self, hindered by external factors.
Said that's not how these things work
Quoting a statement implying the speaker's misunderstanding of the situation.
It could all be so easy
Suggesting a potential for simplicity or resolution.
If you would only let it be
Encouraging someone to allow things to be uncomplicated.
It could be so simple
Highlighting the potential for straightforwardness in the situation.
If only you could find your mind at ease
Challenging the listener to find peace of mind for an easier experience.
But trees they keep on growin' in mind
Metaphorically referencing personal growth with the image of trees.
(Didn't mean to water them)
Expressing unintentional nurturing of challenges or difficulties.
cnd weeds they keep on climbin' through my mind
Symbolizing undesirable elements persistently intruding on thoughts.
(Never wanted it to get so bad)
Rejecting the idea of allowing the situation to deteriorate.
It could all be so simple
Reiterating the potential for simplicity if one allows it.
If you would only let it be
Encouraging the listener to let things be uncomplicated for ease.
It could be so easy
Stressing the simplicity that could exist in the situation.
If you would only find your mind at ease
Calling for the listener to find peace of mind for an easier experience.
But trees they keep on growin' in mind
Repeating the metaphor of trees, signifying ongoing personal growth.
(Didn't mean to water them)
Acknowledging unintentional contributions to personal challenges.
cnd weeds they keep on climbin' through my mind
Highlighting persistent intrusion of undesirable elements in thoughts.
(Never meant to let it get so bad)
Expressing regret for allowing the situation to become difficult.
