Life Per Se
Embracing Life's Nuances: A Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
I have nothing against life per se
I do not have any inherent dislike for life itself.
There is always the little stuff to stop the big stuff
Small everyday matters can prevent significant issues.
Making you wanna shoot yourself in the head
The challenges of life can be so overwhelming that one may feel driven to extreme measures like contemplating suicide.
When then do I see you in the smallest way
Despite the difficulties, there are moments when I perceive you in a subtle manner.
When you lay like a river across the bed
Describing an intimate moment when you lie in bed, resembling a flowing river.
What then to do?
Expressing a sense of confusion or uncertainty about what to do in such situations.
What then to do?
Reiterating the uncertainty and the search for a solution.
I slide my little songs out from under you
Sharing personal songs, possibly as a way of coping or communicating emotions.
And I have nothing against love per se
No inherent objection to love as a concept.
It's just the late night stars are pricking my eyes
Nighttime brings a heightened emotional state, possibly a reference to loneliness or contemplation.
And making me see stars
The impact of the night and its stars on perception, possibly influencing emotions and thoughts.
When then do I see you in the smallest way
Similar to line 4, finding subtle moments of connection.
Oh, when you come around here and sudden shiver smile
Describing a specific moment when someone's presence induces a sudden and shivering smile.
And up and gone again for far and wide
The person comes and goes unpredictably and extensively.
What then to do?
Repeating the sense of uncertainty and the search for a solution in challenging situations.
What then to do?
Continuing the theme of uncertainty and the quest for resolution.
I slide my little songs out from under you
Reiterating the act of sharing personal songs, possibly as a way of navigating complex emotions.
