Fair Warning
Navigating Life's Changes: Fair Warning by Samuel White
Lyrics
I'm going through a change, can't you see
I am undergoing a personal transformation, and I hope you can perceive it.
That the worlds been cold to me
The world has been unkind or indifferent to me.
I start to blink and I realise
I start to blink, and it dawns on me.
That I see things differently
I perceive things with a new perspective.
I don't know why I had to grow older
I don't understand why I had to age.
I don't know why I had to get colder
I don't understand why I had to become more distant or reserved.
I'm starting to accept the fact
I'm beginning to come to terms with the reality.
I can only go forward, I can't go back
I can only move forward in life; going back is not an option.
Woah, no
Expressing a strong reaction or realization.
No, no, no, no, no, no
Emphatic rejection or denial.
I can't even get out of bed
I struggle to get out of bed, possibly indicating emotional or physical challenges.
Early in the morning
Early in the morning, suggesting a difficult start to the day.
I've only got myself to blame
I acknowledge that I am responsible for my own problems.
You all gave me fair warning
Others warned me about the challenges, and now I realize their validity.
Fair warning
Reiteration of the warning received.
Did you ever find peace my dear
Asking about finding peace, possibly addressing someone else.
Locked away in your bedroom
Isolation in a bedroom, seeking solace in solitude.
Talking to the walls because you know
Talking to inanimate objects due to a lack of responsive companionship.
They cannot talk back to you
Expressing a sense of loneliness and frustration.
I lost my religion
Reference to losing faith or belief.
And I'm straying from my God
Straying from a connection with a higher power.
And being so totally alone
Feeling completely alone, which is an unusual or uncomfortable experience.
Boy it feels quite odd
Reflecting on the odd sensation of being so isolated.
My life has changed in so many ways
My life has undergone significant changes.
And if I had a wish I would go back
If given a wish, the desire would be to return to better days in the past.
To better days in the past
Expressing a longing for a time that felt more positive or fulfilling.
But I can't, no I can't
Emphasizing the inability to go back to those better days.
No, I can't
Reiteration of the inability to return to the past.
No
Emphatic rejection or denial.
I can't even get out of bed
Repetition of the struggle to get out of bed, emphasizing the difficulty.
Early in the morning
Repetition of the challenging morning.
I've only got myself to blame
Reiteration of self-blame for personal issues.
You all gave me fair warning
Restating the acknowledgment of the warning received from others.
You gave me fair warning
Confirmation of the fair warning given by others.
