Work In Progress
Embracing Imperfections: State of Youth's Journey in 'Work In Progress'
Lyrics
Shoot
Expression of starting or initiating something
You are
Addressing someone or acknowledging their existence
Flawed in many ways
Acknowledgment of imperfections and shortcomings
A gold star
Recognition of a positive quality or achievement
You still shine down with your rays
Despite flaws, radiating positivity and brightness
And you can't change
Acceptance of inability to change certain aspects
The way you let her down
Regret for disappointing someone
But it's ok
Assurance that it's acceptable or okay
As long as you
Encouragement to return despite past mistakes
Come back around
Hope for reconciliation and a positive future
No you can't save me from myself
Recognition that others can't rescue from personal struggles
No you can't change me
Emphasis on individuality and resistance to change
I'm a human thats the price we have to pay
Acceptance of human nature and its challenges
I know you're lost
Acknowledgment of someone being lost or confused
You can't pretend that you are not
Rejecting the idea of pretending or denying one's state
I'm not saying you're a demon or a saint
Acknowledging a person's complexity, neither wholly good nor bad
We all die anyway
Reflection on the inevitability of death
Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
Repetition of the theme of uncertainty and pride affecting direction
Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing ohh
-This song sounds bad
Self-critique of the song's quality
You wouldn't think that'd I'd be glad
Paradoxical desire for criticism and negativity
To let it cross your ears
-Disappear into
-The void and you
-Wouldn't think that I'd be happy that you hate it
-No I want you to be mean to me
-So I can act like I can't take it
-No you can't save me from myself
Reiteration of personal struggles and individuality
No you can't change me
-I'm a human thats the price we have to pay
-I know you're lost
-You can't pretend that you are not
-I'm not saying you're a demon or a saint
-We all die anyway
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
Continued emphasis on pride influencing the path
Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing ohh
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing ohh
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
Repetition of the theme of uncertainty and pride affecting direction
Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
-Your pride is showing ohh
-Your pride is showing you don't-
Interrupted line, incomplete thought or expression
Bruh
Expression of surprise or disbelief
My Bad
Admission of a mistake or wrongdoing
No you can't save me from myself
Reiteration of the challenges of self-change and acceptance
No you can't change me
-I'm a human thats the price we have to pay
-I know you're lost
-You can't pretend that you are not
-I'm not saying you're a demon or a saint
-We all change anyway
-It's hard to grow but we can change if we want to
Acknowledgment of the difficulty of personal growth
Be the man that I wanna be the legend or prophet
Desire to become a significant and positive figure
A work in progress gotta find a new mindset
Acknowledgment of being a work in progress, seeking a new mindset
Always rewriting software leave a new kind of footstep
Metaphorical reference to continuous self-improvement
Hold onto your hat moving faster than lightning
Emphasis on the fast-paced nature of personal development
It's OK if you like it gonna speed up the process
Acceptance of external opinions and their impact on progress
Your pride is showing you don't know where you're going
Repetition of the theme of uncertainty and pride affecting direction
Your pride is showing ooh
