So What
Navigating Life's Twists: Embracing Lessons and Love in 'So What'
Lyrics
No one said it would be easy
No one promised an easy journey
No one said it would be this hard
No one promised it would be this challenging
I thought I'd get it right after the first few tries
Expectations of mastering life quickly, but returning to the beginning
But I just keep coming back to the start
Continually facing challenges and setbacks
There is a lesson in motion
Life is a continuous lesson in progress
Gripping the wheel as you steer
Metaphorically steering through life's journey
You gotta look through the turn as you're starting to swerve
Guidance to anticipate challenges and navigate through them
Cause nothing burns faster than fear
Fear is a powerful force that can consume rapidly
So slow down
Advice to slow down and appreciate life
And look up
Encouragement to reflect and observe
Stop acting so tough
Discouragement from putting up a tough facade
Say I love you
Expressing love is important
Way too much
Excessive expression of love may have consequences
And if it kills you
Acceptance of consequences, even if they are detrimental
So what
Thousands of tiny explosions
Life is sustained by countless challenges
Are keeping this thing on its wheels
Challenges are necessary for personal growth
But it's a limited metaphor
Metaphor's limitations in describing life's complexities
You gotta give it a minute or you will never properly heal
Healing requires time and patience
Someone's deciding my future
External influences shaping future
Someone decided my past
Past decisions made by others
Somebody said man it's all in your head
Recognition that thoughts influence reality
You're the only one that's making this last
Responsibility for one's own destiny
So slow down
Reiteration to slow down and appreciate life
And look up
Emphasis on introspection and awareness
Stop acting so tough
Advice to drop a tough exterior
Say I love you
Expressing love is important
Way too much
Warning against excessive expression of love
And if it kills you
Acceptance of consequences, even if they are detrimental
So what
So slow down
Reiteration to slow down and appreciate life
And look up
Emphasis on introspection and awareness
Stop acting so tough
Advice to drop a tough exterior
Say I love you
Expressing love is important
Way too much
Warning against excessive expression of love
And if it kills you
Acceptance of consequences, even if they are detrimental
