Turf
Blooming Through Rain: Unveiling Life's Struggles in Simone Valentina's 'Turf'
Lyrics
I meditated
I engaged in meditation.
Took my medication
I took prescribed medication.
I called out from work
I called in sick to work.
Even took a vacation
I even went on a vacation.
Stopped drinking coffee
I quit drinking coffee.
and picked up a hobby or two
I adopted new hobbies.
So why am I still sad?
Despite these changes, I still feel sad.
I call my mom like twice a week
I regularly call my mom twice a week.
Always take myself to therapy
I attend therapy sessions consistently.
When I google my symptoms
I search for my symptoms on Web M.D.
Browse Web M.D
Discover I'm mentally fine, and it's in my mind.
Turns out I'm just fine and it's all in my mind
Emphasizing that growth requires challenges.
But flowers can't grow without a little rain
Smiling doesn't necessarily indicate well-being.
Just because you're smiling doesn't mean that everything is okay
We become adept at concealing emotional pain.
We get so good at covering pain
Attempting to befriend our internal struggles.
Trying to be friends with the shit in our brains
If something seems better, it might be artificial.
But If the grass seems greener it's probably cause' it's fake
Expressing resentment towards successful peers.
This dumb girl I hate wrote a best-selling novel
Comparing personal struggles with others' successes.
And Sophie's a rich fucking instagram model
Feeling disadvantaged in comparison.
And Mary got married to some billionaire
Highlighting the disparity in life outcomes.
I'm still broke and alone think it's kinda unfair
Reiterating the theme of growth through adversity.
But flowers can't grow without a little rain
Reminder that appearances can be deceptive.
Just because you're smiling doesn't mean that everything is okay
A smile may hide underlying struggles.
We get so good at covering pain
We become skilled at masking emotional pain.
Trying to be friends with the shit in our brains
Attempting to befriend our internal struggles.
But If the grass seems greener it's probably cause' it's fake
If something seems better, it might be artificial.
Driving through neighborhoods so late at night
Driving through neighborhoods late at night.
There's this one house that I dream about sometimes
A particular house is a recurring dream.
It's got ten-foot tall hedges
The dream house is described with tall hedges.
Twelve car garage
It has an extravagant twelve-car garage.
Like a storybook castle
A picturesque castle-like house.
The shiniest lawn
The lawn is emphasized as exceptionally shiny.
