Coming of Age
Embracing Resilience: Kaytlin Numbers' 'Coming of Age' Reflections
Lyrics
Cornered again
Feeling trapped or confined once again
And cut wide open
Vulnerability and emotional exposure
Back in bed
Returning to a state of emotional distress
Feeling alone
Sensing loneliness or isolation
Promises made
Promises made but not kept
Just to be broken
Experiencing disappointment from broken promises
Nobody saw you crying
Crying without anyone witnessing the pain
Nobody saw you crying
Emphasizing the hidden nature of emotional struggles
Running on an empty stomach
Struggling without necessary support or sustenance
Your eyes are tired
Fatigue and weariness evident in the eyes
You're losing your light
Diminishing inner brightness or positivity
Losing your light
Repetition of losing one's inner light
So afraid
Experiencing fear related to one's origin or existence
Of the way that you came here
Concern about the manner of arrival or upbringing
You can take your time
Encouragement to take one's time in the journey
But you can't
Limitation in blaming oneself for circumstances
Blame yourself
Acknowledging the innocence of being a child
For being just a child
Saturation point reached in enduring something
You've had enough
Tired of a misleading or elusive image
Of this apparition
Abandoning the illusion or false impression
Giving up the ghost
Letting go of the life others have chosen
Of the life they all chose just to
Intentional disruption of chosen paths
Mess it up again
Repeating mistakes or sabotaging progress
Bleeding love
Experiencing pain and emotional wounds
Only to meet the indifference
Encountering indifference despite bleeding emotionally
But you will be a force to reckon with
Assurance of becoming a formidable presence
Time and again
Reiteration of resilience over time
...Oh
Expression of intense emotion
I will love you with my all
Commitment to love wholeheartedly
I will love you til the world falls apart
Unconditional love enduring challenges
Ooh
Expressing emotion or a moment of realization
You're runnin'
Act of running or escaping from challenges
You're runnin'
Repetition of the theme of running
Running on an empty stomach Your eyes are tired
Reiteration of struggling on an empty stomach
You're losing your light
Continued loss of inner brightness
Been losing your light
Persistent decline in positivity or hope
So afraid
Recurrence of fear related to one's origin
Of the way that you came here
Encouragement to proceed at one's own pace
You can take your time
Reiteration of the importance of time
But you can't
Emphasis on avoiding self-blame in the journey
Blame yourself
Affirmation of innocence despite challenges
For being just a child
Recognition of vulnerability as a child
All alone like a bird on the wire
Isolation or loneliness likened to a bird on a wire
You will be a force to reckon with
Assurance of becoming a powerful and influential presence
...
Indicating continuation or ongoing struggles
Burning, like a fire
Intensity and passion compared to a burning fire
