Naive
Navigating Life's Cost: The Unspoken Price of Conformity
Lyrics
They tell you to go to school
Advice to pursue education by attending school.
To get an education
Encouragement to seek knowledge and learning.
And savor all the memories
Enjoy and cherish the experiences gained during education.
They tell you to go to college
Encouragement to attend college for financial stability.
Get financially stable
Attaining financial stability before starting a family is advised.
Before you start a family
The importance of financial stability before family life.
But they don't tell you what it costs
Critique of not informing about the hidden costs of life choices.
To be a burden
Reflection on the emotional burden that certain choices bring.
And I lost a piece of me
Personal loss experienced as a consequence of decisions.
No, they don't tell you the price
Emphasizes the undisclosed emotional toll of actions.
The cost of hurting
Refers to the emotional pain and consequences of one's actions.
Or the tragedy it brings
Expressing the tragic outcomes associated with certain choices.
I tried to change myself just to fit the mold
Attempts to conform to societal expectations and norms.
But I was so naive
Realization of being overly trusting or lacking experience.
And I thought that I
Reflecting on one's belief in understanding love.
I knew how to love but I
Acknowledgment of ignorance or misunderstanding in love.
Didn't know anything
Admission of lacking knowledge or awareness in relationships.
When you needed me the most
Regret for not being there when someone needed support.
I couldn't see it
Failure to perceive the needs of someone important.
No, I couldn't see
Reiteration of not recognizing crucial moments.
When you needed me the most
Repetition of the failure to perceive important needs.
I couldn't see
Continued acknowledgment of not seeing important aspects.
And it changed everything
Recognition that the failure to see had significant consequences.
