Little Indian
Surviving Life's Mess: A Little Indian's Journey
Lyrics
you know I keep my ear to the ground
Expressing awareness and attentiveness to current situations or events.
you know I want to turn things around
Desire to bring about positive change or improvement.
I know I got tendencies
Acknowledging personal inclinations or habits.
that leave us a dead end street
Recognizing actions or traits that lead to a figurative dead end.
I don't expect the world to give me anything
Not expecting external rewards, emphasizing personal responsibility.
this is my mess I got us in
Taking ownership of a challenging situation or problem.
in my mind
Reflection on inner thoughts and mental state.
I'm just trying to survive
Struggling to cope and persevere in challenging circumstances.
you'll ride that horse again little indian
Encouraging someone to overcome difficulties, using "little indian" metaphorically.
they can even the score for me
Suggesting others can help balance or rectify a situation.
and for awhile it's interest free
Temporary relief from problems without additional burdens.
I don't expect the world
Reiteration of not expecting external assistance.
to give me anything
Emphasizing the importance of empathy over material gain.
understanding isn't everything
Recognition that understanding alone is not sufficient.
in my mind
Continued introspection and focus on personal survival.
I'm just trying to survive
Reiterating the struggle to endure in difficult circumstances.
you'll ride that horse again little indian
Encouraging resilience and metaphorically referring to facing challenges again.
and you know she was and you she wasn't here
Reflection on the presence or absence of someone significant.
and you know she was and you she wasn't here
Repetition of the uncertainty regarding someone's presence.
in my mind
Continued focus on personal survival and perseverance.
I'm just trying to survive
Reiteration of the struggle for survival amidst challenges.
you'll ride that horse again little indian
Encouraging persistence and facing challenges again.
and you know she was and you she wasn't here
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding someone's presence.
and you know she was and you she wasn't here
Repetition emphasizing the ambiguity of someone's presence.
and you know she was and you she wasn't here
Continued uncertainty regarding someone's past presence or absence.
