Strong
In the Depths of Strength and Vulnerability
Lyrics
Excuse me for a while
Expressing a need for a brief moment of attention or understanding.
While I'm wide-eyed and I'm so down caught in the middle
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and stuck in a difficult situation.
I've excused you for a while
Granting forgiveness or understanding for a period.
While I'm wide-eyed and I'm so down caught in the middle
Repeating the feeling of being caught in a challenging situation.
And a lion, a lion
Metaphorical reference to a powerful force (lion) demanding attention.
Roars would you not listen?
Questioning the listener's willingness to pay attention to a significant matter.
If a child, a child
Exploring the idea of responding to a vulnerable child's cry for help.
Cries would you not give them?
Challenging the listener to provide support to those in need.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Suggesting a facade of strength or resilience.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Implying a tendency to express oneself at length.
I've never been so wrong
Admitting a past mistake or misunderstanding.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Reiterating the appearance of strength despite inner vulnerabilities.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Continuing to emphasize the tendency to speak extensively.
I've never been so wrong
Acknowledging a profound realization of one's own fallibility.
Excuse me for a while
Requesting patience or understanding for a brief duration.
Turn a blind eye with a stare caught right in the middle
Choosing to ignore or avoid acknowledging a challenging situation.
Have you wondered for a while
Pondering if the listener has considered being stuck in a dilemma.
I have a feeling deep down, you're caught in the middle?
Suggesting a shared experience of feeling trapped or conflicted.
If a lion, a lion
Repeating the metaphor of a roaring lion demanding attention.
Roars would you not listen?
Reiterating the importance of listening when a powerful force demands attention.
If a child, a child
Asking if the listener would respond to a vulnerable child's cry.
Cries would you not give them?
Challenging the listener's empathy towards those in distress.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Repeating the facade of strength despite inner struggles.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Reiterating the tendency to express oneself at length.
I've never been so wrong
Reflecting on the acknowledgment of past errors or misconceptions.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Emphasizing the outward appearance of strength.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Continuing the acknowledgment of a tendency to speak extensively.
I've never been so wrong
Repeating the profound realization of personal fallibility.
Excuse me for a while
Requesting a temporary break or understanding for a moment.
While I'm wide-eyed and I'm so down caught in the middle
Reiterating the sense of being emotionally overwhelmed and stuck.
Have you wondered for a while
Prompting the listener to consider their own state of being stuck.
I have a feeling deep down you're caught in the middle
Suggesting a shared experience of feeling caught in the middle.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Repeating the facade of strength despite inner vulnerabilities.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Reiterating the tendency to express oneself at length.
I've never been so wrong
Reflecting on the acknowledgment of past errors or misconceptions.
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Emphasizing the outward appearance of strength.
Yeah, I might speak so long
Continuing the acknowledgment of a tendency to speak extensively.
I've never been so wrong
Repeating the profound realization of personal fallibility.
