Lyrics
Life. That shit really changes fast.
Life changes rapidly.
Lyrics
Introduction, possibly emphasizing the power of lyrics.
I feel pain when it’s cloudy, when it's windy
Experiencing emotional pain during difficult weather conditions.
I’ll never be the same
Undergoing a profound transformation; won't be the same.
With this metal mounted in me
Having a metal object inside, possibly a metaphor for a physical or emotional burden.
Forgiven who’s to blame
Forgiven, but the responsibility or blame is unclear.
But won’t forget about it quickly
Not easily forgetting a past event or experience.
We’re women and we change
Women undergo changes, with or without injury.
With or without the injury
Changes occur regardless of injury; emphasizes resilience.
And no amount of limping’s gonna make me bad
No amount of hardship will make the person morally corrupt.
Take my soul,
A plea to take the speaker's essence.
Break my spirit,
A desire to break the spirit, but it evokes anger.
Though it makes me mad
Despite anger, there's a refusal to show up weak or defeated.
I still won’t show up to the hearing like
A refusal to participate actively in a hearing or confrontation.
"The case is cracked
Indication that the case is already solved or evident.
Your honor, send her ass to jail
Suggesting a punitive response, advocating for imprisonment.
She just played your ass
Accusation of deceit and manipulation.
Though I know deep down
Acknowledging internal conflict; awareness of the manipulator's fear.
She’s afraid of that
Fear of accountability is universal.
Accountability
Reflection on the concept of accountability.
That’s something we’re afraid to have
Fearful of accountability without the freedom to move or act.
Without mobility
Past reliance on others due to lack of mobility.
I always had to wait on staff
Highlighting a lack of dignity in the speaker's past experiences.
No dignity
A place where personal care and vulnerability intersect.
My bed is where they gave my baths
Reflecting on a loss of dignity during moments of personal care.
They make a face and ask
Others judge with questions about the speaker's actions.
"If she was drunk why’d you get in the car with her?"
Explaining a situation that silences judgment.
And then they shut up when I explain the crash
An expression of frustration and defiance.
Motherfucker
Expressing a strong emotional reaction to a significant change.
My summer turned to dark winter
A metaphor for a drastic and negative shift in the speaker's life.
You think we did that shit for fun?
Rejecting the assumption that a difficult situation was pursued for enjoyment.
You think I’m made of cash?
Addressing assumptions about financial capacity and decision-making.
The truth is,
Revealing a truth without regret or apology.
I wouldn’t take it back
Acknowledging the value of the experience despite its challenges.
Grateful that it happened in the way it has
Expressing gratitude for the unique way the event unfolded.
Careful where you go
Issuing a cautionary statement about the unpredictability of life.
Cuz life
Reiterating the theme of life's rapid and unpredictable changes.
That shit really changes fast
A concluding statement emphasizing the speed of life's changes.
