Superego: A Tale of Friendship's Trials
Lyrics
Dearest friend, what is going on
Expressing concern and curiosity about the friend's behavior.
You've been avoiding me for far too long
Noting the friend's avoidance for an extended period.
I've reached out my hand, and I've praised your name
Extending support and admiration for the friend.
But all I can hear is the sound of you running away
Noticing the friend's continuous avoidance and escape.
You ran away
Highlighting the act of running away.
Dearest friend, is there something wrong?
Reiterating concern and questioning if something is amiss.
The river ran red for far too long
Symbolizing a prolonged period of difficulty or turmoil ("river ran red").
I gave and I gave, I stood by your side
Emphasizing support and loyalty provided to the friend.
I ask now just once for you to swallow your pride
Requesting the friend to overcome their pride and open up.
Swallow your pride
Reiterating the plea to swallow one's pride for reconciliation.
I found you in the backyard, burrowed in your grave
Discovering the friend in a difficult situation ("burrowed in your grave").
I didn't say a word, caved in and slipped away
Witnessing the friend's silence and withdrawal.
I found you in the backyard, your soul is wearing thin
Noticing the friend's diminishing spirit or vitality.
But they won't dig you out, no they will keep you
Highlighting a lack of external help or intervention for the friend.
I found you in the backyard, burrowed in your grave
Reiterating the discovery of the friend's difficult state.
I didn't say a word, caved in and slipped away
Observing the friend's silence and withdrawal once again.
I found you in the backyard, your soul is wearing thin
Noting the persistent decline in the friend's well-being.
But they won't dig you out, no they will keep you
Emphasizing the lack of external assistance for the friend.
I saw you in the backyard, I didn't see your face
Observing the friend in a different context, possibly changed or distant.
Thought you were someone else, or someone took your place
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the friend's identity or absence.
And so you left the backyard, the find just what you need
Narrating the friend's departure to seek what they need.
But I'll always be here, cause friends don't ever leave
Asserting constant support, highlighting the enduring nature of friendship.
So if you stop and ask why I'm not around
Explaining the absence and expressing hope for realization.
Hope it doesn't take long to figure it out
Conveying a refusal to be used or abandoned, emphasizing self-worth.
I refuse to be used and left out to dry
Rejecting mistreatment and abandonment, asserting personal boundaries.
Won't let you in my mind
Declaring the decision to guard one's thoughts and emotions.
