Anytime
Embracing Life's Boundless Possibilities: "Anytime" by Mavis Staples
Lyrics
Give me a one-way ticket
Expressing a desire for a one-way ticket, symbolizing a journey or change to an unfamiliar place.
Somewhere I've never been
Desiring to go to a place never experienced before.
I'm rock, paper, scissors
Identifying as versatile and adaptable, like the game rock, paper, scissors.
And I'm bound to win
Confident in overcoming challenges, symbolized by being bound to win.
You can't shake me
Asserting resilience, stating that attempts to shake or disturb are futile.
And there ain't no use in tryin', no
Emphasizing the futility of trying to disrupt or influence.
Anywhere, anyway
Asserting freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Emphasizing the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
I'm a fighter, I'm a lover
Describing a dual nature as both a fighter and a lover.
There is no other way
Stating that there is no alternative path, reinforcing a determined approach.
Could be one or the other
Acknowledging the possibility of being either a fighter or a lover on different occasions.
On any given day
Highlighting the variability of the individual's nature on any given day.
You can't fool me
Asserting perceptiveness, claiming immunity to deception.
And there ain't no need in you tryin', no
Reiterating the point that attempts to deceive are futile.
Anyway, anywhere
Emphasizing freedom and independence anyway and anywhere.
Anytime
Reinforcing the idea of having freedom and independence at any time.
Anyway, anywhere
Repeating the assertion of freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Reiterating the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
You got me halfway gone
Expressing a state of being partially gone or halfway through a journey.
Halfway there
Highlighting a sense of progress, being halfway toward a destination.
You got me halfway down
Describing a state of being partially down, halfway up in the air, possibly signifying uncertainty.
Halfway up in the air
Depicting a state of being in mid-air, symbolizing a suspended or transitional state.
Oh, it reminds me of a story
Introducing a narrative or memory triggered by the current situation.
Tell you later if you don't mind, oh
Delaying the sharing of a story, suggesting it might be revealed later.
Anywhere, anyway
Reaffirming the theme of freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Reiterating the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
Anywhere, anyway
Repeating the assertion of freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Reiterating the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
Anywhere, anyway
Repeating the assertion of freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Reiterating the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
Anywhere, anyway
Repeating the assertion of freedom and independence anywhere and in any way.
Anytime
Reiterating the availability of freedom and independence at any time.
