My Song
Navigating Shadows: Pollen Jesus' Reflection on Forgiveness and Living in the Present
Lyrics
Just another one of those days
Expressing the mundanity or typical nature of the day
Where you had it all yesterday
Reflecting on a time when everything was going well
And can't find it today
Experiencing a loss or inability to recapture past success
Kept awake by the events
Being kept awake by significant events or thoughts
That I'll forget anyway
Acknowledging that these events will eventually be forgotten
Does it make sense to forget what it was
Questioning the wisdom of forgetting the past
To focus on the here and now
Contemplating the choice between past and present focus
For it's hard to drive with my eyes in the rear-view
Metaphorically expressing difficulty in moving forward
Anyway
Accepting the challenge of moving forward despite difficulties
It's hard to be forgiven
Acknowledging challenges in seeking forgiveness
When I can't forgive myself
Struggling with self-forgiveness
The words in my mind just tear me apart
Expressing emotional pain caused by internal thoughts
It's hard to live in the here and now
Highlighting difficulty in living in the present moment
When my life in the rear-view mirror
Reflecting on life through the metaphor of a rear-view mirror
Anyway
Reiterating challenges in focusing on the present
This is my song
Announcing the singer's personal composition
That I song to myself
Emphasizing the personal and introspective nature of the song
Maybe one day I'll be strong enough
Expressing hope for future strength and resilience
To take it as I leave it
Desiring the ability to accept things as they come
One day at a time
Advocating for a one-day-at-a-time approach to life
Just another one of those days
Repetition of the mundane nature of the day
Where you had it all yesterday
Recalling a time of prosperity
And can't find it today
Expressing the current difficulty or loss
Kept awake by the events
Being kept awake by significant events or thoughts (repeated)
That I'll forget anyway
Acknowledging that these events will eventually be forgotten (repeated)
Forget anyway
Reiterating the theme of forgetting the past
Forget anyway
Final repetition of the theme of forgetting
