Rediscovering Resilience: Rocky Votolato's Treepeople TaleLyrics
What do I care?
Indifference towards a situation or outcome
I'll clean up to make things look their very best
Putting effort into making things appear their best despite feeling at one's lowest emotionally
To feel my worst
Experiencing one's worst emotional state
What's inside is no longer mine to destroy
Feeling disconnected from and unable to control one's inner emotions or turmoil
But all the same
Despite differences, a recurring pattern exists
On each new Sunday
Referencing a specific day (Sunday) where something significant occurs
I'll be repaid
Expectation of receiving compensation or reward for actions or efforts
Again with memories of trailer park gravel streets
Recollection of past memories involving living in a trailer park and its surroundings
Evenings, alone in a new home
Feeling isolated and alone in a new environment
Sunlight shinning through the front window
Visualizing sunlight coming through the front window of a home
Tree people on my radio
Listening to music or sounds related to nature while in a personal space
Listen closely
Encouragement to pay attention or focus intently
I've got absolutely nothing to
Expressing having nothing meaningful to communicate
Say to you
Stating a lack of communication or dialogue with the listener
That you think you already new
Implying the listener thinks they know everything already
Grow old and uninspired
Warning against becoming unproductive and losing inspiration as one ages
Floor'll crumble if you get tired
Suggesting that if one becomes tired or uninterested, their foundation may weaken or collapse
Don't grow old and unispired
Repeating the warning against losing inspiration with age
Floor'll crumble if you get tired
Reiterating the consequence of potential collapse if one grows weary
I'm losing the steam
Expressing a decrease in energy, motivation, or enthusiasm
