Talking About the Rain
Navigating Storms Within: Shit Present's Reflection on Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
I’m not talking about how I’ve been away
The speaker isn't discussing their absence.
I’m not talking about the rain
The speaker isn't talking about literal rain; it's a metaphorical expression.
I’m not talking about how I feel like shit
The speaker isn't discussing feeling terrible but is reflecting on their situation.
just thinking about the mess I’m in
They're contemplating the chaotic circumstances they're in.
I’m not one to say when I sense intimidation
The speaker usually avoids acknowledging when they feel intimidated.
Never one to say I’ve had enough of this conversation
They usually don't express a desire to end a conversation, even if they've had enough.
You’re so like me, eager to please
Comparing someone else's behavior to their own - both eager to please.
Carry so much shit that you didn’t need
Carrying unnecessary burdens or emotional baggage.
We’ll just slip away to the farthest place
Escaping to a distant place where they don't require others.
we don’t need anyone else today
Reiterating the desire for solitude, not relying on anyone else.
What’s the point in talking about anything
Questioning the usefulness of discussing anything if the other person has preconceived notions about the speaker.
If you’ve made your mind up about what I can bring
Feeling judged or that the other person has predetermined expectations about the speaker's abilities.
I’ll turn inside out but you’ll never change
The speaker feels they can change but doubts the other person's willingness to do so.
How is it sleeping in that bed you’ve made
Asking how the other person feels in their current situation or decisions.
I’m not gonna think of you for the 1000th time
Declaring they won't spend more mental energy thinking about the person.
I’m not gonna listen when you change your mind
Refusing to entertain the other person's changes of opinion or decisions.
I’ll just be a seed blown by the breeze
Willingness to be flexible and adapt to circumstances without being tied down.
I’ll grow wherever it takes me
Ready to grow and evolve wherever life takes them.
And I’ll slip away to the farthest place
Reiterating the desire to escape to a distant place alone.
I don’t need anyone else today
Stating independence and not relying on others for the day.
I know you’ll only tell me no
Expecting rejection or a negative response from the person.
I guess I’ll just wait for you to go
Accepting the inevitability of the person leaving.
