Lyrics
I put mums lipstick on the mirror
I express myself by applying my mother's lipstick on the mirror.
Curious little girl
Expressing curiosity as a young girl.
I put her high heels on
I try on my mother's high heels with the ambition of conquering the world.
I was gonna take over the world
Expressing youthful aspirations and ambition.
And my mum said it takes time
My mother advises patience, suggesting that success takes time.
To learn how to walk a straight line
Learning the challenges of navigating life and its expectations.
Cos these shoes are old that I was born into
Reflection on inheriting old, possibly challenging circumstances.
My gran said that she walked in them too
Grandmother's shared experience of walking in similar shoes.
And they get stronger with age made with stories of gold
The shoes symbolize strength, enriched with life experiences and stories.
And with each page filled with heartbreak and soul
Highlighting the emotional depth within the shoes.
I've got blue shoes
Declaration of possessing blue shoes.
I've got blue shoes
Reiteration of having blue shoes.
I've got blue blue blue blue, shoes
Emphasizing the color blue in the shoes.
I've got a ring on my finger
Wearing a ring, possibly indicating commitment or connection.
I've got six gorgeous eyes watching me
Being observed by others, potentially family or loved ones.
And now it's my time
Recognizing one's moment to shape their own life.
To show them what life can be
Expressing determination to show the beauty of life to others.
I've told them it takes time
Reiterating the importance of patience in learning life's lessons.
To learn how to walk a straight line
Encouraging others to learn to navigate challenges.
Cos these shoes are old that I was born into
Reflecting on the legacy of the challenging circumstances inherited.
My gran said that she walked in them too
Grandmother's shared experience of walking a difficult path.
They get stronger with age made with stories of gold
Emphasizing the strengthening effect of time and experiences.
With each page filled with heartbreak and soul
Highlighting the emotional depth within the shoes' history.
I've got blue shoes
Ownership and pride in possessing blue shoes.
I've got blue shoes
Reiteration of having blue shoes.
I've got blue blue blue blue, shoes
Emphasizing the color blue in the shoes.
I wear these shoes they don't wear me
Asserting control over the shoes, not being defined by them.
And they make me taller, it's clearer to see
Heightened self-awareness and confidence gained from wearing the shoes.
That one day they will be on my daughters feet
Envisioning the shoes passed down to future generations.
And she'll be taller and stronger than me
Anticipating that the next generation will surpass the current one.
Cos these shoes are old that I was born into
Reflection on the challenging circumstances inherited.
My gran said that she walked in them too
Grandmother's shared experience of facing life's challenges.
They get stronger with age made with stories of gold
Emphasizing the strengthening effect of time and experiences.
With each page filled with heartbreak and soul
Highlighting the emotional depth within the shoes' history.
I've got blue shoes
Ownership and pride in possessing blue shoes.
I've got blue shoes
Reiteration of having blue shoes.
I've got blue blue blue blue, shoes
Emphasizing the color blue in the shoes.
