Don't Slip Away
Embrace the Light: Unraveling Life's Weight with Kevin Alonso
Lyrics
Hey man, did you get outside your bed today
Asking if the person got out of bed and faced the day.
Were you able to figure out any of this mess
Inquiring if they could make sense of their life's complexities.
Did a light get you out of your rugged state
Asking if a positive influence helped them overcome difficulties.
Or was it all just too hard to comprehend
Questioning whether everything was too challenging to understand.
When was the first time you thought about the weight you bear?
Asking when they first considered the burdens they carry.
Don't worry, you don't have to tell
Assuring them they don't have to disclose their thoughts.
Is there anything good on tv lately?
Casually asking about the quality of TV content.
Goddamnit, put a bullet in my head
Expressing frustration and a desire for an end to suffering.
Maybe on your face there's always a frown
Noticing a perpetual sadness on their face.
Maybe all you do is feeling down
Suggesting that they are consistently feeling low.
Maybe all you see is a dark cloud
Imagining their perspective as clouded by darkness.
Let me tell you something, that's allowed
Asserting the right to express negative feelings.
But nobody's gonna come save you now
Emphasizing that external help is unlikely.
So you better learn to be proud
Encouraging self-pride and independence.
Don't slip away
Repeating the plea not to lose oneself.
Don't slip away
-Don't slip away
-Don't slip away
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
Highlighting the potential for positive change and self-discovery.
And what you're searching can be found
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
-Hey man, did you help someone out today
Asking if they helped others, implying a positive impact.
Were you able to turn their day on its head
Checking if they brightened someone else's day.
Did you become a light and get them out their rugged state
Positively framing the idea of becoming a source of light for others.
Or were you just too worried about yourself
Suggesting self-absorption as a hindrance to helping others.
When was the last time that you thought about cause and effect?
Prompting reflection on the concept of cause and effect.
Don't worry, let that question rest
Advising not to dwell on certain existential questions.
How often do you think about your mistakes
Asking how often they reflect on their past errors.
Stop right now and try to live and learn
Encouraging an immediate focus on living and learning.
Maybe on your face there's always a frown
Reiterating the observation of a persistent sadness.
Maybe all you do is feeling down
Suggesting a continuous state of feeling down.
Maybe all you see is a dark cloud
Reinforcing the perception of a gloomy outlook.
Let me tell you something, that's allowed
Asserting the right to express negative emotions.
But nobody's gonna come save you now
Reiterating the lack of external saviors.
So you better learn to be proud
Encouraging self-pride and independence.
Don't slip away
Repeating the plea not to slip away.
Don't slip away
-Don't slip away
-Don't slip away
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
Emphasizing the ongoing opportunity for positive change.
And what you're searching can be found
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
Repeating the theme of turning life around at any given time.
And what you're searching can be found
-Cause at any given time you can turn it around
