Ends Meet
Crafting Life's Symphony: Phantom Bay's Ends Meet Message
Lyrics
Long day
Experiencing a lengthy day
No grief
Absence of sorrow or distress
Just glad that I know how to make ends meet
Content with the ability to manage financial matters successfully
Degrading
Reducing in value or esteem
So close
Proximity to giving up the belief in self-sufficiency
To reject the belief I can make it on my own
Rejecting the notion that one can achieve success independently
So brash
Bold and self-assertive
Presuming
Assuming or taking for granted
To expect everyone to excel at the same thing
Expecting everyone to excel in the same areas
You're taken aback
Surprised or shocked
Not everyone is driven by the same four letters
Not everyone is motivated by the same principles or goals
Start working on what's yours
Initiate efforts on what belongs to you
No one else can give you what you crave the most
No one else can provide you with your deepest desires
Start ditching what's right
Start abandoning conventional or expected paths
If it works out, great, if it doesn't, fine
Outcome matters less; acceptance of either success or failure
A while ago I talked to a man
Recalling a past conversation with a man
And he said: hey boy, I like your work but you need to understand
The man advises the speaker to recognize the lack of value in their work
There's no value in what you do
The man emphasizes that self-expression is not something to be commercialized
Self-expression isn't something to be sold
Suggesting that the intrinsic value of self-expression should not be sold as a commodity
Start working on what's yours
Commence efforts on what is uniquely yours
No one else can give you what you want the most
No one else can fulfill your deepest desires
Start ditching what's right
Commence moving away from conventional expectations
If it works out, great, if it doesn't, fine
The outcome is less important; acceptance of success or failure
