Sister
Embracing Light: Navigating Adulthood's Rollercoaster in Marley Moon's 'Sister'
Lyrics
Being adult is such a ride
Reflecting on the complexities of adulthood.
I thought that this would finally be a good time
Anticipation of a positive experience in adulthood.
But I can't lie
Acknowledging honesty about the challenges.
It takes a lot just to be fine
Expressing the effort required for emotional well-being.
I'm not scared of getting older
Comfort with aging but concerns about emotional detachment.
But I'm terrified of growing even colder
Fear of losing warmth and compassion with age.
I feel I gave away all of my light
Sense of losing inner brightness or positivity.
I gotta call my sister
Recognizing the need for emotional support.
She can help me remember
Turning to a sister for emotional assistance.
I've been through a lot
Acknowledging past challenges.
I just forgot I'm not a robot
Realization of human vulnerability and emotions.
Being alone is overrated
Challenging the idea that being alone is desirable.
I spent my youth knowing I would grow up jaded
Regret about the loss of youthful optimism.
I held my hands locked in a prayer
Symbolic gesture of seeking guidance through prayer.
But there was no one there
Feeling abandoned or unsupported during difficult times.
How come the other kids get to know
Envy of others who experience divine love and peace.
The love of a god, the peace of a heaven
Expressing insomnia and inner turmoil.
And I can't sleep at night
Reiterating the need for emotional support from a sister.
I gotta call my sister
Admitting personal struggles and seeking understanding.
Don't think I ever said to her
Communicating feelings of emptiness and isolation.
That I feel like a ghost and she's Halloween
Comparing oneself to a ghost, feeling unseen.
She sees me
Recognition that the sister understands and observes.
Driving at night gets existential
Contemplating life's meaning during nighttime drives.
The right song at the wrong time can be detrimental
Acknowledging the impact of timing on emotional experiences.
I fear I'm wasting my potential
Fear of not reaching one's full capabilities.
Would I care if everybody I love burned up with the sun
Pondering the significance of losing loved ones.
And I was all alone
Contemplating existential loneliness.
I don't really know
Uncertainty about personal feelings and reactions.
I gotta call my sister
Reiteration of seeking emotional support from a sister.
She can make it all better
Belief that the sister can provide comfort and solutions.
I'll tell her I'm afraid of being sociopathic
Expressing fear of lacking empathy or emotions.
And she'll tell me I'm being dramatic
Expectation of reassurance from the sister.
And I'll believe her
Trust in the sister's perspective and guidance.
