Sometimes
Navigating Life's Swings: Lin Littleton's Reflection on Changing Friendships
Lyrics
Sometimes that's how it goes
Sometimes, life unfolds in unpredictable ways.
They rock with you then they don't
People may support you for a while, then withdraw their support.
Sometimes that's how it goes
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of relationships.
They rock with you then they don't
Highlighting the transient nature of connections with others.
I look left and I look right
Observing the surroundings but finding no genuine individuals.
And there's nobody real in sight
A sense of isolation due to the absence of authentic people.
People will leave you all alone
People may abandon you after fulfilling their own desires.
Get what they want and then they're gone
Highlighting the selfishness of some individuals.
Just like the seasons, they switch up with no reason
Comparing people's behavior to the unpredictable changes in seasons.
I like to think that, (sometimes) people will change
Expressing hope for positive change in people.
But they never will, so I try to dead all the drama
Realizing that positive change is often elusive, attempting to avoid drama.
But in the end, they will get their karma
Belief in the eventual consequences (karma) for those who cause drama.
Sometimes that's how it goes
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of relationships.
They rock with you then they don't
Reiterating the temporary nature of support from others.
Sometimes that's how it goes
Emphasizing the ebb and flow of connections with people.
They rock with you then they don't
Reiterating the transient nature of relationships.
Fake friends, I've had that,
Reflecting on experiences with insincere friends.
Petty beef, way past that
Moving beyond trivial conflicts and disputes.
Mind games you can have that, all to yourself
Rejecting psychological games and manipulations.
Nobody is perfect, I get it!
Acknowledging imperfections in oneself and others.
Losing a real one, you'll regret it
Warning about the regret of losing a genuine person.
I'm not to judge yeah, there's so many weirdos!
Acknowledging diversity and peculiarities in people.
That's you? You can go yeah, I don't hesitate to walk out that door
Quickly distancing oneself from undesirable individuals.
And I don't hesitate to open the door for you
Being considerate but prioritizing personal well-being.
In the end it's you, by yourself
Ultimately, one is left alone to deal with oneself.
So you got to, have your own back
Emphasizing the importance of self-reliance.
Sometimes that's how it goes
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of relationships.
They rock with you then they don't
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of support from others.
Sometimes that's how it goes
Highlighting the ups and downs in connections with people.
They rock with you then they don't
Reiterating the transient nature of relationships.
Can still bag a ting always
Confidence in attracting romantic interest consistently.
Still move right always
Maintaining a positive and principled approach in life.
Cut you off when it's about the profit
Cutting off relationships that don't contribute to personal growth.
Not lucky, just highly favored
Attributing success to favor rather than luck.
Nosey about my life like neighbors
Expressing discomfort with others being overly curious about one's life.
Pocket watch like crazy
Being cautious about others observing and judging one's financial status.
Try take your spot then act hazy
Warning against those who attempt to take advantage and deceive.
Watch your back, these people, fugazi
Advising vigilance and caution regarding deceptive individuals.
