Talk About It
Navigating Change and Silence: Kate Bollinger's Reflections on Personal Growth
Lyrics
Change my mind
Expressing a willingness to reconsider one's perspective.
It's easy to do
Suggesting that changing the mind is a simple task.
But change my ways
Highlighting the difficulty in changing personal behavior or habits.
Only works when I have to
Implies that significant change only occurs under necessity.
cll the times when I do the opposite
Reflecting on instances of doing the opposite of what's expected or advised.
cll the times when I do what I shouldn't
Acknowledging times when engaging in undesirable actions.
Talk about it til I'm blue in the face
Discussing issues extensively but not taking effective action.
Do nothing about it
Highlighting a tendency to discuss problems without proactive solutions.
Go outside, take a walk
Suggesting a coping mechanism, like going outdoors or seeking company.
Call my friends on the phone
Seeking support or distraction by reaching out to friends.
I stay quiet when I have too much to say
Choosing to remain silent despite having a lot to express.
Try not to count on it but I condemn the ones that make my same mistakes
Ambivalence toward relying on others, condemning those with similar shortcomings.
Do what I ask of you
Issuing commands, possibly reflecting a desire for control.
Do what I tell you to
Reiterating the expectation for obedience or compliance.
Do what I ask of you
Repeating the request for others to follow instructions.
Do what I tell you to
Emphasizing the importance of adhering to given directions.
When I tell you to...
Suggesting a specific time or circumstance for compliance.
