Shoulders
Lifting Life's Weight: Growing Beyond Hardships
Lyrics
Untie the noose around your neck
Encouragement to free oneself from a suffocating or constraining situation.
Get down from the ledge
Step away from a dangerous or precarious position, potentially indicating thoughts of self-harm or danger.
You won't feel like this forever
Assurance that current negative feelings or circumstances won't last indefinitely.
You've got so much life to live
There's a lot of life ahead; implying a hopeful future.
When it all comes crashing down
During difficult times when everything seems to collapse.
The weight is on your shoulders
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed by responsibilities or challenges.
You're still growing up
Continuing to mature or develop despite the hardships.
You'll feel better when you're older
Belief that things will improve with age and experience.
Untie your shoes you need a break
Suggesting a need to relax or take a pause from the stress.
The smile's forced and feeling fake
Forced to pretend happiness when feeling otherwise.
Don't waste your energy
Advising against wasting energy on people who don’t appreciate you.
They don't like you anyway
Implying that others' opinions or judgments shouldn't affect self-worth.
You can only please yourself
Focusing on self-care and personal satisfaction rather than seeking validation from others.
The weight is on your shoulders
Reiteration of feeling burdened by responsibilities or challenges.
You're still growing up
Continued growth and development despite difficulties.
You'll feel better when you're older
Reaffirmation that things will improve with age and experience.
Older
Reiteration that better times will come with age.
When you're older
Reaffirmation of the idea that improvement comes with age.
When you're older
Repetition emphasizing the idea of improvement and betterment in the future.
Dry your eyes
Encouragement to stop crying and overcome sorrow.
Shake off those tears
Advising to move on from sadness and hardships.
You've learned so much in a few years
Acknowledging personal growth and learning over a short period.
Sometimes you still get depressed
Acknowledging occasional experiences of depression despite progress.
Never overtaken by your fears
Not being overwhelmed by fears; maintaining strength.
You keep getting stronger
Continued resilience and empowerment; becoming emotionally stronger.
Take the weight off of your shoulders
Encouragement to relieve oneself from burdens or responsibilities.
You're still growing up
Continued growth and development despite hardships.
You'll feel better when you're older
Reaffirmation that things will improve with age and experience.
