I'll Give It Another Day
Embracing Change: Talel McBriar's Poetic Reflection on Life
Lyrics
It's not a revolution
It's not a significant change or upheaval.
If you still sit
If you remain passive or inactive.
In the backseat
Metaphorically staying out of the main action or decision-making.
Dreamt of an institution
Imagined being part of a structured system or establishment.
Now I can't get
I can't return to a state of tranquility or ignorance.
Back to sleep
Struggling to find peace of mind or rest.
Oh, oh, oh
Vocal sounds expressing emotions or distress.
Oh, oh, oh
-Yelling in the park
Expressing frustration or intensity in an open space near nature.
Down by the lake
-This has got to be
Feeling that current circumstances are a misguided error.
Some stupid mistake
Suggesting a need for mental clarity or fresh perspective.
Just need oxygen to my brain
Desire for mental stimulation or inspiration.
Said I can't wait until Saturday
Anticipation or excitement for the weekend.
Blame the weather
Assigning responsibility or fault to external factors.
Blame the screen
-Blame the first person you see
-I saw heaven
A moment of joy or positivity experienced.
But I screamed
Reacting unexpectedly to a positive experience.
Didn't look like on TV
Realization that reality doesn't match idealized portrayals.
But I'll give it another day
Commitment to endure for a little longer despite challenges.
I'll give it another day
-I'll give it another day
-I'll give it another day
-I see the lights differently now
Seeing things differently with changed perspectives over time.
Not like last winter
-Or ten years ago
-Take what you want
Preference for taking everything rather than leaving with nothing.
Leave nothing at all
-I like that best
-It's more comfortable
-Now the ghost
Encounter with a lingering memory or past unresolved issue.
He comes around the bend
-Does he think that we can't be friends
-But I guess it's how the story ends
-Well, I guess it's how the story ends
-Blame the weather
Repetition of assigning blame to external factors after a positive experience turned sour.
Blame the screen
-Blame the first person you see
-I saw heaven
-But I screamed
-Didn't look like on TV
-But I'll give it another day
Reiterating commitment to persist despite difficulties.
I'll give it another day
-I'll give it another day
-I'll give it another day
-Running up that hill
Recollection of a past event triggering familiar feelings or thoughts.
Thought back to May
-I have deja vu
-Of all the things that you say
-The street lamps light up the highway
Observing a bleak situation but not feeling scared.
It looks like hell
-But I'm not afraid
-Oh, oh, oh
Expressing emotions or distress vocally.
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
