Lyrics
Its looking pretty grim out there I think I’ll stay inside
Expressing a reluctance to face the challenges outside and choosing to stay indoors due to a grim outlook.
Can’t predict the fires of the times
Acknowledging the unpredictable and intense nature of the current events or challenges.
And if I could what would I do?
Pondering the hypothetical scenario of having the ability to foresee the future and questioning the actions to take.
What hills are there to run for?
Raising the question of available options or solutions when faced with difficulties.
Still I seem to wonder how to try
Expressing a sense of curiosity or confusion about how to approach and overcome challenges.
Oh what can I say that hasn’t been said?
Reflecting on the challenge of finding new or original words to express thoughts or feelings.
Any nonsense won’t hold
Emphasizing the need for meaningful and substantial words rather than trivial or insincere statements.
A candle to the weight of the world
Comparing the weight of spoken words to the immense burden of global issues.
Oh I wish that I could change it, what can I do?
Expressing a desire for change in the face of overwhelming challenges and questioning personal agency.
I’m only one woman
Acknowledging individual identity as a woman and the limitations that come with it in influencing broader issues.
What can I do? I’m only one woman
Reiterating the limitations and the sense of helplessness in affecting significant change as an individual woman.
And when I lie in bed at night
Reflecting on the vastness of the universe and contemplating life's journey, especially during moments of introspection.
I think of all the stars
Thinking about the countless possibilities and experiences represented by stars in the night sky.
Passing by our tiny lives and how we got so far
Reflecting on the progress of human existence and how far society has come.
These worries, early in the morning
Highlighting the persistence of worries, particularly in the morning, and their impact on thoughts.
Come back in and then they swim around inside my head
Describing the cyclical nature of concerns that enter and circulate within the mind.
Oh what can I say that hasn’t been said?
Repeating the challenge of finding unique expressions and meaningful words in communication.
Any nonsense won’t hold
Reiterating the importance of substantial communication in addressing global issues.
A candle to the weight of the world
Emphasizing the weight of spoken words in comparison to the immense problems faced by the world.
Oh I wish that I could change it, what can I do?
Expressing a desire for change and questioning personal agency in the face of overwhelming challenges.
I’m only one woman
Reaffirming individual identity and limitations in influencing significant change as a woman.
What can I do? I’m only one woman
Restating the limitations and a sense of helplessness in affecting significant change as an individual woman.
Oh what can I say that hasn’t been said?
