Waiting
Empowering Resilience: Unveiling the Depths of Native Dancer's 'Waiting'
Lyrics
Names I don't know
Feeling unfamiliar with certain identities or individuals.
Taking up space
Feeling a sense of being crowded or overshadowed.
Words as blades
Verbal expressions that have the potential to cause harm.
Pray they don’t
Hoping that the hurtful words do not deeply affect.
Fearing the impact of hurtful words on a personal level.
Close my eyes
Choosing to avoid the negativity by shutting out the external influences.
I won't let them win
Determined not to let negativity or criticism prevail.
Flesh as trophy for a made up game
Feeling objectified or exploited as a prize in a fictitious contest.
Flesh as trophy for a made up game
Reiterating the sense of being objectified for others' amusement.
Please stop playing your game..
Requesting an end to manipulative behaviors and mind games.
Woman
Addressing a female figure.
Tell them your name again
Encouraging the woman to assert her identity.
Woman
Repeating the call for the woman to declare her identity.
Tell them your name
Emphasizing the importance of stating one's identity.
And I try not to listen to men on a mission
Avoiding being influenced by men with determined objectives.
Their fire the charms like bullets
Describing the persuasive power of these men's intentions.
And I try not to listen
Persisting in avoiding the influence of others' intentions.
My ears won’t bleed for you
Refusing to be emotionally affected by external pressures.
When will you learn
Questioning when understanding or acceptance will occur.
When will you see
Questioning when one's unique perspective will be acknowledged.
I have not grown for your eyes
Asserting personal growth independent of external expectations.
Don’t name me
Rejecting the imposition of labels or identities by others.
Close my heart
Guarding one's emotions from external influences.
I won’t let them win
Remaining resilient against negativity or criticism.
Flesh as trophy for a made up game
Reiterating the feeling of being objectified for others' entertainment.
Woman
Addressing the woman again.
Tell them your name again
Encouraging the woman to restate her identity.

Persisting in avoiding the influence of others' intentions.

Refusing to be emotionally affected by external pressures.
