Lyrics
Through the eyes of the children
Observing the world through the perspective of children
She would always stay
She consistently remained in a particular place
But the call of wide open space
The allure of vast, open areas attracted her
Drew her further away
She was drawn further away by this call of open space
But the strength required to survive outside
The inner strength needed to survive in a harsh world
The cold, unforgiving world
Describing the world as cold and unforgiving
Means that she will always be
Despite the challenges, she remains in this harsh reality
Stuck in a state that's called
Stuck in a state characterized by
Dependent
Dependence
In the space of her mind's eye
In her imagination
A life on her own could have been grand
A life lived independently could have been impressive
Maybe it would, but victimhood
Choosing victimhood seemed like a safer plan
Was the surest plan
Victimhood was a more certain path
Because the fortitude to make your own way
The courage needed to forge one's path
In this mess of reality
Referring to the chaotic reality of life
Means that she will always be
Despite challenges, she remains in this harsh reality
Stuck in a state that's called
Stuck in a state characterized by
Dependent
Dependence
Sticks and stones will break your bones
Physical harm and verbal wounds
And words will always hurt
Words can be as painful as physical injuries
Maybe your life would be alright
Possibly, life might be better if one were less unpleasant
If you were less of a cunt
Suggesting that changing one's behavior could improve life
Through the eyes of the children
Repeating the earlier observation through the eyes of children
She would always stay
Consistently staying in a certain place from a child's perspective
But the call of wide open space
Once again, the call of open space pulls her away
Drew her further away
Continuing the theme of being drawn towards open space
But the strength required to survive outside
Reiterating the strength needed to survive in a harsh world
The cold, unforgiving world
Describing the world as cold and unforgiving
Means that she will always be
Despite challenges, she remains in this harsh reality
Stuck in a state that's called
Stuck in a state characterized by
