This Is Your Mess, You Clean It Up
Resilience Unveiled: Navigating Life's Twists Through Music
Lyrics
It's been a long long year
Reflecting on a challenging and lengthy period
But I seem to have made it through
Expressing resilience and successfully overcoming difficulties
Without any battle scars or real signs of damage
No visible emotional or physical scars despite the challenges faced
Twelve whole months since
A year since the artist started playing the guitar
I've picked up this guitar
Feels a creative drought, not having written a song in a while
Feels like I haven't wrote a fucking song in ages
Expressing frustration with a lack of recent musical output
I quit my band six years ago it was the best thing I ever did
Positive reflection on quitting a band six years ago
But It's still so hard just letting go of something I've wanted
Struggling to let go of a long-held desire since childhood
Ever since I was a little kid
Desire for musical success since childhood
I left it all, buried in the basement of my youth
Leaving behind past pursuits and interests from youth
Next to my belief in fairy tales and god
Mention of leaving beliefs like fairy tales and god behind
Lets chalk it up to being youthful and naive
Attributing past decisions to youthful and naive thinking
Cause I keep a space reserved for when everything falls through
Keeping a space for potential failures in the future
Well I lost some friends
Experiencing loss of friends but seeing it as a positive change
But to tell the truth I really think
Asserting that the loss of friends has led to personal improvement
That I'm so much better off without them
Believing life is better without the mentioned friends
I started collecting records
Engaging in collecting records as a new passion
I've got a collection that I'm getting kind of proud of
Proud of the growing record collection
Well it's funny how things fell apart just as soon as I was gone
Noticing a negative turn of events after departure
But the dogwoods are blooming on Slingluff
Observing natural beauty despite personal challenges
It reminds me that life keeps moving on and on and on
Symbolizing the continuity of life despite setbacks
I left it all, buried in the basement of my youth
Reiteration of leaving past behind, including beliefs
Next to my belief in fairy tales and god
Connecting past decisions to youthful and naive mindset
Lets chalk it up to being youthful and naive
Keeping space for potential future failures
Cause I keep a space reserved for when everything falls through
Reaffirming the readiness for potential setbacks
