Black Sheep
Whispers of Redemption: Nellie McKay's Black Sheep Revealed
Lyrics
Now the not alone
Feeling of not being alone
You're on your own
Independence, self-reliance
Welcome home
Return to a familiar place
Follow through the street
Proceed through life's journey
Now here's the heat
Encounter challenges and intensity
Welcome back home
Returning home, finding comfort
Whipping wind upon your face
Harsh realities or difficulties faced
Slow child while you can
Advice to be cautious while young
'Round the bend where one's who chase
Encountering those who pursue dreams passionately
So wild as a lamb
Being untamed or innocent like a lamb
Flowers keep growing
Symbolism of growth and life
Water flowing
Continuous flow and progression
Life is kind
Positive view of life
Still every scene's a memory I won't miss
Nostalgia for memories, even if challenging
Motors are humming
Machinery or activities in motion
Water flooding
Overwhelmed or flooded with experiences
Numb the mind
Numbing of the mind, possibly from routine
Still this is someone else's form of bliss
Acknowledging others' versions of happiness
Slam out the gate
Action of forcefully leaving a place
Tempting fate
Tempting fate or taking risks
Got to roll
Necessity to continue forward
Never escape what you know
Facing and accepting the known
Who could, could you
Repetition of questioning oneself and others
Who could, could you
-Who could, could you, could you, could you, could you, could you
-Who could, could you
-Who could, could you
-Who could, could you, could you, could you, could you, could you
-Who could, could you
-Charming bits of ????
Reference to mysterious or unclear aspects
Some floating in your sea of mind
Contemplating thoughts in the mind
Wondering the reason
Questioning the purpose of actions
Should you leave it all behind
Dilemma of leaving behind certain things
Weaving through the leavings
Navigating through remnants or consequences
You were wrong and so was I
Recognizing mistakes and shared fallibility
Seeking something perfect in the wreckage of my mind
Searching for perfection amid challenges
Flowers keep growing
Continuation of growth and life's flow
Water flowing
Emphasis on continuous progression
Life is kind
Positive outlook despite challenges
Still every scene's a memory I won't miss
Nostalgia for memorable scenes, even if difficult
Pictures parading
Images or memories on display
Water glazing
Reflection on experiences like water's surface
Numb the mind
Numbing of the mind, possibly from routine
Still this is someone else's form of bliss
Acknowledging others' versions of happiness
Mommy, Mommy
Calling out to a maternal figure
