Father
Journey of Reflection: Embracing Choices and Redemption in 'Father'
Lyrics
I said
I expressed
Hey you, watch your back
Cautioning someone to be careful
Someone's coming closely on your heels
A person is approaching closely
I think they want something
Perceiving a desire or intention from them
I wish it was nothing
Desiring that the intention is benign
But I feel overwhelmed
Feeling overwhelmed
By things that I just should have done
Regret over missed opportunities
I kinda see I'm waking up again
Realization of waking up or becoming aware
Cos I'm the father
Identifying oneself as the father
The choice I make, the rules I break
Emphasizing personal responsibility and defiance
And I'm not letting go
Commitment to holding on
I wish I didn't know so much
Expressing a wish for ignorance
And I believe that I should make amends
Recognition of the need for reconciliation
And I dressed up just to hear your call
Dressing up with anticipation
I waited here in the corner of my world
Waiting in a personal space for a communication
Now, step back, embrace my words
Encouraging someone to step back and understand
Embrace the feeling and all those things you heard
Encouraging embracing emotions and information
I know you didn't listen very well
Observing a lack of attention in listening
But I
(Blank line)
I'm caught in wave I'm caught in between
Feeling caught between conflicting emotions
Something that's not like me
Experiencing something unfamiliar
I got a siege I'm awaken up again
Recognizing a challenging situation
Cos I'm the father
Reiteration of being the father
The choice I make, the rules I break
Repeating commitment and rule-breaking
And I'm not letting go
Continued determination
I wish I didn't know so much
Expressing a wish for less knowledge
And I believe that I should make amends
Reaffirmation of the need for reconciliation
And I dressed up just to hear your call
Repeating anticipation of communication
I waited here in the corner of my world
Repeating waiting in a personal space
In the corner of my world
Repeating the personal space concept
Cos I'm the father
Further affirmation of being the father
The choice I make, the rules I break
Reiteration of commitment and rule-breaking
And I'm not letting go
Continued determination
I wish I didn't know so much
Repeating a wish for less knowledge
And I believe that I should make amends
Reaffirmation of the need for reconciliation
And I dressed up just to hear your call
Repeating anticipation of communication
I waited here in the corner of my world
Repeating waiting in a personal space
Cos I'm the father
Final affirmation of being the father
I'm the leader
Claiming leadership role
And it's all part of me
Asserting that it's all part of oneself
I'm so worried about deceptions
Expressing concern about deceit
I'm so worried about pain
Expressing concern about pain
Even though I try I see the answers
Despite efforts, seeing answers
I push my fears aside
Putting aside fears but still concerned
But I'm still worried about the questions
Remaining concerned about unanswered questions
That my heart still has to find
Recognition of unresolved emotions
Cos I'm the father
Final affirmation of being the father
