Wither
Resilience in Adversity: Defying the Odds of Withering Away
Lyrics
Give me drugs to ease the pain
Expressing a desire for drugs to alleviate emotional or physical pain.
For I am week and full of distain
Acknowledging personal weakness and a sense of contempt or disgust.
Laying in this hospital bed
Describing the speaker's current location in a hospital bed.
I may be week but I'm not nearly dead
Despite being weak, asserting that the speaker is not close to death.
And the truth is I don't have
Admitting a lack of a solid foundation or support in life.
Any legs to stand on
Emphasizing the speaker's inability to stand firm or be independent.
And life can be bare when your
Highlighting the challenges of life when health is compromised.
Health has come and gone
Reflecting on the difficulties when one's health is fleeting.
I will not wither away not here
Asserting a determination not to deteriorate or decline in this specific situation.
Not in this place no I won't
Reiterating the refusal to wither away in the current circumstances.
Wither
Repeating the word "Wither" as a thematic expression of resisting decline.
Wake me up once again
Requesting to be awakened once more, indicating a desire to face reality.
I reply with a why, not when
Responding with a question about the timing of waking up, questioning the situation.
Lift me up, I want to go
Expressing a desire to be lifted up, suggesting a longing for improvement.
My brain say yes but my body says no
Conflict between mental willingness and physical limitations.
And the truth is I don't have
Reiteration of the lack of a stable foundation or support in life.
Any legs to stand on
Reemphasizing the speaker's inability to stand firm or be independent.
And life can be bare when you
Reiterating the challenges of life when health is compromised.
Health has come and gone
Reflecting on the difficulties when one's health is fleeting.
I will not wither away not here
Restating the determination not to deteriorate or decline in this specific situation.
Not in this place no I won't
Reiterating the refusal to wither away in the current circumstances.
Wither
Repeating the word "Wither" to reinforce the theme of resisting decline.
And the truth is I don't have
Reiteration of the lack of a stable foundation or support in life.
Any legs to stand on
Reemphasizing the speaker's inability to stand firm or be independent.
And life can be bare when you
Reiterating the challenges of life when health is compromised.
Health has come and gone
Reflecting on the difficulties when one's health is fleeting.
