Lyrics
Through the strength of your arms, I realized I was off the mark.
Realization that personal errors were made, acknowledged through the strength of someone else.
All I really wanted was a pair of interested ears.
Desire for genuine and attentive listeners rather than superficial attention.
I learned that for every pause, I was almost guaranteed more time to speak.
Recognizing the value of pauses in conversation, allowing more time for self-expression.
It's always the selfish who say that life is way too short.
Critique of those who selfishly claim life is short, suggesting they may not value it appropriately.
I'm not looking to get old, but I bet it'll happen anyway.
Acceptance of the inevitability of aging, albeit without actively seeking it.
Now I look at my hands they don't move the same as two years ago.
Reflection on physical changes over a specific period, particularly in the hands.
At a slow steady pace, I made my way back home.
Returning home at a deliberate and measured pace.
At least there I won't be ashamed.
Seeking solace in the idea that at home, one can avoid feelings of shame.
Earlier today I felt the warmth as the skin it held the heat,
Noting a recent experience of warmth and comfort, likely contrasting with the current surroundings.
Now the city surrounds me in different tones of gray.
Observing a change in the environment, symbolized by different tones of gray in the city.
Those are the same cries that make my bones shake...
Recognizing familiar distress or suffering, with a physical impact on one's own well-being.
Those are the same assholes that take more than they can handle.
Criticism of individuals who overextend themselves, possibly at the expense of others.
I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.
Acknowledging solitude without experiencing loneliness, suggesting contentment in one's own company.
I have kinetic energy.
Claiming possession of kinetic energy, implying an active and dynamic force within oneself.
The dividing line will separate us all.
Anticipation of a significant division or separation among people, possibly metaphorical.
Sometimes it's those nights,
Introduction of a timeframe (nights) where self-reliance is highlighted as sufficient.
Where I'm all I have is really all I need...
Reiteration of the idea that being alone is satisfactory and fulfilling.
