Name
Echoes of Growth: Navigating Identity Amidst Life's Trials
Lyrics
I'm still right here
I'm still present and available
I'm still right here
Reiteration of being present and available
After all these years
Despite the passage of time
I'm still right here
Continued assertion of being present and available
Looking at constellations
Reflecting upon stars formations
Dreaming of our destinations
Imagining future goals and aspirations
You and I
Reference to the relationship
Want to spare the conversations
Desire to avoid certain discussions
Ones we had until the dead of night
Previous conversations that occurred late into the night
But all that's gone now
Recognition that those moments are past
I heard you're out at night
Awareness of the other's nocturnal activities
While I am in my room
Personal engagement in solitary activities
Working for the knife
Struggling with difficult tasks
I know it's not your fault
Understanding that the situation isn't intentional
You're just living your life
Acknowledging the other's normal life
But your words feel like assault
Feeling emotionally attacked by words
Can you picture that alright?
Asking if the other comprehends the impact of their words
Wildfires caused by a year long drought
Metaphorically comparing difficulties to wildfires
Hopefully some day I'll find a way out
Hoping for a future solution or escape
A way out of this
Seeking an exit from current circumstances
A way out of all the things that I can't talk about
Wanting to evade unspoken issues
Like how they called me queer
Recalling past insults and mistreatment
And pushed me to the ground
Remembering an act of physical aggression
Yet you just stood right there
Noting the other's inaction during the incident
Contributing to the sound
Contributing to the negative environment
All I tasted was blood
Experiencing the taste of blood, indicating injury
Familiar in my mouth
Familiarity with the taste of blood
But now I have the guts
Determination to speak up now
To have them hear me shout
Will to make one's voice heard
This is my new name now
Embracing a new identity
One I found last year
Discovery of a personal identity recently
I'm always ever changing
Continuous growth due to overcoming fear
Growing out from fear
Evolving beyond limitations
They said I'm half of you
Being perceived as only part of someone else
But I'm becoming of my own
Transitioning into one's individuality
Maybe you don't think that's true
Recognition that the other may not acknowledge this change
But we still have time to grow
Belief in the potential for mutual growth
I know we're getting old
Acknowledgment of aging but also the opportunity for development
But we still have time to grow
Emphasizing the chance for personal and mutual advancement
We're on drugs
Reference to being under the influence
What?
Seeking clarification about drug use
Well, we're accidentally on drugs
Realization of being unintentionally affected by drugs
Accidentally?
Questioning the accidental nature of drug use
