Scream
Finding Independence: Escaping the Noise
Lyrics
Me and my baby
Expressing a connection with her partner, "baby," setting the scene.
Looking at Christmas lights
Observing Christmas lights together, possibly a moment of joy or reflection.
I was angry and he drove 'til my head was right
Conveying emotional distress and the partner's supportive role in helping her calm down.
Year after year running from home
Reflecting on a pattern of running away from home over multiple years.
I want someplace that's just my own to scream
Desire for a personal space to vent or express herself, using "scream" metaphorically.
And I ain't slowing down for nobody
Declaring determination and independence, unwilling to be slowed down by external influences.
And I did everything that I could for that guy
Listing actions taken for her partner, emphasizing dedication and effort.
Left it all there at the club for that guy
Leaving everything at the club suggests sacrifice for the partner.
I played my guitar quietly
Playing the guitar quietly to avoid disturbing the partner.
So I wouldn't bother that guy
Continuation of sacrifices for the partner's comfort.
And I swear to God, I'm done with him
Expressing a decisive end to the relationship with a strong declaration.
Year after year running from home
Reiteration of the pattern of running away from home over the years.
I want someplace that's just my own to scream
Reiterating the desire for personal space to scream and express herself.
And I ain't slowing down for nobody
Reaffirming determination and independence, unwilling to be slowed down.
Not gonna do it for him, gonna do it for her
Declaring a shift in focus from the previous partner to a new motivation, "her," with a determination to persevere.
Not gonna do it for him, gonna do it for her
-Not gonna do it for him, gonna do it for her
-And I ain't slowing down for nobody
-And I ain't slowing down for nobody
Emphasizing the unwavering commitment to personal growth and independence.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Concluding the lyrics with a vocalization, possibly conveying a sense of release or empowerment.
