Heavy Boots
Walking in Heavy Boots: A Poetic Journey Through Life's Battles
Lyrics
The boots you wear are heavy
The burden or challenges you carry are significant and impactful.
Rest now, I’ll wear them for a while
Rest now, I'll take on your burdens for a while.
And as you lie there sleeping
While you sleep, I will reflect on your experiences.
I’ll walk down, and retrace every mile
I'll revisit and understand every part of your journey.
All the lines around your eyes
The visible signs of struggle and hardship in your life.
Show the battles deep inside you
Your internal battles are reflected in the lines around your eyes.
They are no match for me
I am confident and capable of handling the challenges you face.
They are no match for me
-They are no match for me
-And what I wouldn’t do,
Expressing a strong desire to experience the challenges.
To wear your heavy boots
Reiterating the desire to bear the weight of your struggles.
To wear your heavy boots
-To wear your heavy boots
-The sea is wide and angry
Describing the vast and formidable nature of the sea.
It’s merciless, and waits for you to drown
The sea is unforgiving and poised to overcome you.
Your arms are tired from swimming
You're exhausted from the effort to survive in challenging circumstances.
The violence is written on your brow
The hardships are evident in your expression.
I will take away the hurtful words
I will absorb and face hurtful words with bravery.
And swallow them with courage
-They are no match for me
-They are no match for me
Confident assertion that challenges will not overpower me.
They are no match for me
-And what I wouldn’t do
-To wear your heavy boots
Reiteration of the willingness to bear the weight of struggles.
To wear your heavy boots
-To wear your heavy boots
-The warriors are waiting
Anticipation of challenges represented by "warriors" waiting.
For you, outside on the street
Challenges await you outside, personified as warriors on the street.
And though you’re only waking
Despite waking up, urgency to face challenges without delay.
Rush now, you’ll never miss a beat
Rush, and you won't miss a beat in confronting challenges.
All the hungry virgin eyes
Describing the intense and alluring gaze of others.
With the scorpions in their smiles
People with deceptive smiles and hidden dangers.
When their greedy fingers rise
Their actions are futile and cannot overpower me.
They are no match for me
Reiteration that challenges posed by others are not insurmountable.
They are no match for me
-They are no match for me
