Matriarchal March
Matriarchal March: Earning Love Amidst Differences
Lyrics
We are bound by blood
We share a familial connection through blood.
But you don’t inherit unconditional love
Love within the family is not automatically given; it must be earned.
You have to earn it
Love is not inherited but requires effort and merit.
You gave me DNA
You provided me with genetic material (DNA).
But we aren’t built the same
Despite our shared DNA, we are fundamentally different.
A difference
There is a distinction or divergence between us.
And it makes sense
This difference is logical or understandable.
This is the matriarchal march
Referring to a march or journey led by the motherly figure.
To a heart
Heading towards a heart that is both broken and still beating.
Broke and beating
Repetition of the matriarchal march towards a wounded heart.
It’s the matriarchal march
Continuation of the march towards a heart in pain.
To a heart
Reiteration of the matriarchal march towards a suffering heart.
Broke and beating
Repeating the journey towards a heart that is both broken and beating.
Everybody tryna tell me
Others advise trying to mend the relationship.
I should try to make this work
The attempt to reconcile is painful.
But it just hurts
The effort to make things work is emotionally painful.
Mother daughter
Reference to the family dynamic of mother-daughter relationships.
Sister brother
Expanding to include other family relationships like sister-brother.
Why do we take it all
Questioning why familial issues are taken so literally.
So literal
Reflection on the literal interpretation of family matters.
This is the matriarchal march
Reiteration of the matriarchal march towards a heart in pain.
To a heart
Continuation of the journey towards a broken but beating heart.
Broke and beating
Repetition of the matriarchal march towards a wounded heart.
It’s the matriarchal march
Continuation of the march towards a heart in pain.
To a heart
Reiteration of the matriarchal march towards a suffering heart.
Broke and beating
Repeating the journey towards a heart that is both broken and beating.
Just needed to decide
The decision to abandon or move away from the familial issues.
To leave this all behind
Choosing to leave behind the family dynamics causing pain.
I try to shut my eyes
Trying to avoid the reality by closing one's eyes, but fear prevents it.
But I’m too scared
The fear prevents escape or avoidance.
I’ve cried a million times
Expressing a significant amount of emotional distress through tears.
Can’t help but fantasise
Unable to resist daydreaming or imagining an alternative, more loving mother.
I almost had a mother
A longing or desire for a mother who genuinely loved from the beginning.
Who loved me first
An acknowledgment of the absence or lack of initial maternal love.
