Same Old Neck
Echoes of Resilience: Same Old Neck's Tale of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It seems that when you're gone
Expressing the impact of your absence
You having been has everyone overcome
Highlighting that everyone has coped despite your departure
But they say when kids are young and hit
Referring to the common belief that children, when troubled, may later abandon their pursuits
They have a tendency to grow up and quit
Explaining the tendency for individuals to give up when facing challenges
Quit on themselves
Emphasizing the act of giving up on oneself
Confidence is a shell
Describing confidence as a protective barrier
Cause I can't remember a time
Recalling a lack of confidence from childhood
I didn't curse my reflection rolling my eyes
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's own reflection
But I swear I won't complain
Committing not to complain despite challenges
Cause she asks that I refrain
Acknowledging a request to refrain from complaints
Cause she always cries
Highlighting someone's tendency to cry frequently
She always cries
Reiterating the recurring nature of the person's tears
I've got the same old neck
Introducing the theme of a consistent personal characteristic ("same old neck")
It's always been leaning down
Describing the perpetual downward inclination of the neck
It's always been bent
Stating that the bent neck has always been a characteristic
Although I must admit
Admitting a recent realization about the bent neck
It's only been a week since I realized it
Emphasizing the need for time to adapt to this newfound understanding
Give time to adjust
Suggesting the idea of using a brace for support during the adjustment period
Wear a brace if you must
Encouraging proactive measures to cope with the situation
Cause the fact I'm stunned to learn
Expressing surprise at the revelation that growing up doesn't have to mirror someone else's experience
I guess I didn't have to grow up just like her
Reflecting on the realization that there's no predetermined path to follow
There is no time to succumb
Asserting the importance of not yielding to challenges
And even less to overcome.
Stating that there is limited time for surrender and even less for overcoming difficulties
Cause she always cries
Reiterating the recurrent theme of someone crying consistently
She always cries
Affirming the enduring nature of the person's tears
