Hearing Storms
Embracing Storms: A Journey Through Turmoil and Redemption
Lyrics
I’ve been hearing storms
I perceive impending challenges or difficulties.
They’re coming closer and I’m running out of halls
The challenges are approaching, and I have limited options for avoiding them.
To escape down
I am running out of escape routes.
Just dead ends, locked doors and meltdowns
Options available seem futile, with obstacles and emotional breakdowns.
Even with licence to call
Despite having permission to seek help, traditional solutions are ineffective.
Those basic numbers have no purpose anymore
Common solutions or strategies no longer serve a purpose.
With no order
There is a lack of structure or order in dealing with the challenges.
I’m well aware this is torture
Acknowledging that the current situation feels like a form of torture.
That rumbling thunders shaking my bones
The intensity of challenges is physically affecting, with metaphorical thunder and shaking.
Rattles my chair legs while the lightning throws
The challenges are unsettling, disrupting normalcy like lightning and thunder.
Bolts of electric through my top to toe
The impact of difficulties is profound, affecting the entire body.
I’m picking storms instead of headstones
Choosing to face challenges rather than succumbing to defeat.
I’m trying to pick storms instead of headstones
Continuing the struggle against difficulties instead of accepting failure.
Pin me down and score
Expressing vulnerability and submission to the challenges.
Syringe and stain me, branded as yours
Accepting the influence or control of external forces.
I’ll recall this
Committing to remembering and learning from the experience.
Well, that’s unless I forget this…
Unless I intentionally forget, indicating the potential desire to move on.
And I probably will
Acknowledging the likelihood of forgetting and moving forward.
That rumbling thunders shaking my bones
Reiterating the physical and emotional impact of the challenges.
Rattles my chair legs while the lightning throws
Describing the continued disruption caused by difficulties.
Bolts of electric through my top to toe
Highlighting the pervasive and thorough impact of challenges.
I’m picking storms instead of headstones
Choosing to confront storms rather than succumbing to defeat.
I’m trying to pick storms instead of headstones
Persisting in facing challenges instead of accepting failure.
