Crooked Youth
Navigating Life's Crooked Path: Kristen Ford's Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
I can't draw blood and not think about my friend
I am haunted by thoughts of my friend whenever I see blood.
That bloody vein that did him in
Reflecting on a vein that played a role in his friend's demise.
I can't help but thinking that we're one and the same
Feeling a connection, seeing similarities between oneself and the friend.
Loving loving loving and feeling pain
Expressing a cycle of love and pain.
Loving loving and where does it
Questioning the destination or outcome of love.
Go go go this crooked youth
Describing the experiences of a troubled or unconventional youth.
I didn't know know know what i was born to lose
Feeling uncertain about one's purpose or what is destined to be lost.
And where does it go go go when to walk away
Contemplating the direction in life and the timing of walking away from situations.
And when to see it though
Deciding when to persevere and follow through with challenges.
Well i could never quit on you
Expressing commitment and determination to not give up on someone.
See the mennonites at the rest stop
Observing Mennonites at a rest stop and questioning shared beliefs or values.
Piling out of the mini van
Depicting a scene of Mennonites exiting a minivan.
And i wonder are we serving the same god
Questioning whether people, despite differences, are all striving to do good.
Or are we all just doing good the best, best we can
Contemplating the human condition and the pursuit of doing one's best.
And where does it go go go this crooked youth
Reiterating the challenges and uncertainties faced in a non-conventional youth.
I didn't know know know what i was trying to prove
Expressing a lack of awareness about what was worth proving in the past.
Where does it go go go the beauty's lose on you
Questioning where the beauty in life disappears when faced with challenges.
I coulda walked away
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to walk away from a situation.
But I could never quit on you
Reiterating a commitment to never give up on someone despite difficulties.
I wanna just done for a minute
Expressing a desire to take a break or pause from life's challenges.
I wanna just be through for the hour
Expressing a wish to be done or finished with difficulties for a brief period.
I just wanna have a really good month
Desiring a positive and fulfilling month ahead.
I wanna coast on a really good year
Aspiring to have a successful and smooth year without major obstacles.
I coulda been breaking mirrors
Reflecting on a possible scenario of breaking mirrors, symbolizing self-destruction.
Curled up on the bathroom floor
Imagining a vulnerable state, curled up on the bathroom floor.
I coulda been been breaking mirrors
Repeating the imagery of breaking mirrors and contemplating its consequences.
I could done it all done it all, it all, it all before
Acknowledging the possibility of having experienced and overcome challenges before.
Where does it go go go this crooked youth
Persisting questions about the direction and challenges of a non-conventional youth.
I didn't know know what I was born to lose
Expressing uncertainty about what was destined to be lost in life.
Where does it go go this crooked youth
Repeating questions about the challenges faced by a non-conventional youth.
I could walk away but I could never quit on you
Reaffirming a commitment to never give up on someone despite challenges.
