Walk It Off
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Walk It Off by Mark Duggan
Lyrics
I'm tired of lonely man it don't wear well on me
I am weary of loneliness; it has a negative impact on me.
Tired of being stuck in my head and sick of this body
I'm fed up with being stuck in my thoughts and tired of dealing with my physical existence.
It take a few good fall to really know you're here
Understanding oneself often requires experiencing significant hardships.
She said to me as she made me watch her disappear
Someone told the speaker this insight as they watched her disappear, possibly from their life.
Well somebody tell me where I can get off
The speaker is asking for guidance on where to find relief or respite.
I can't do it this time you know I just can't walk it off
The speaker expresses an inability to cope this time; they can't dismiss or ignore their struggles.
Feel I'm doing nothing right right now I'm running on empty
The speaker feels like they're not doing anything right and is emotionally drained.
Most things are never quite how you worry or hope they'll be
Expectations often differ from reality, causing disappointment or surprise.
Just a useless fear that leaves you exposed and half awake
There's a pervasive, useless fear that makes the speaker vulnerable and only partially aware.
Staring down the shame and weight you wish someone else could take
Confronting shame and burdens, wishing someone else could bear them.
Well sometimes it all gets to be just too much
At times, life becomes overwhelming for the speaker.
I can't do it this time you know I just can't walk it off
The speaker reiterates their inability to handle the situation; they can't simply brush it off.
Well nobody told me it could get so rough
No one warned the speaker that life could be this challenging.
I can't do it this time you know I just can't walk it off
Despite past experiences, the speaker still can't handle or endure the current difficulties.
You hang around my head like an unfinished dream
Someone or something occupies the speaker's thoughts persistently, like an unfinished dream.
You make your choices and learn to live with exactly what they bring
Making choices in life comes with consequences, and one must learn to live with them.
I'm standing in the rain feeling my feet get wet
The speaker is metaphorically standing in the rain, feeling the weight of their troubles.
Waiting on someone to tell me it ain't too late just yet
The speaker is waiting for reassurance that it's not too late to change or improve their situation.
Well most times you don't see yourself tripping up
Often, people are blind to their own mistakes or shortcomings.
I can't do it this time you know I just can't walk it off
Reiterating the inability to cope with the current challenges; the speaker can't just walk away from them.
