Canary
Navigating Shadows: Tess & The Details' Canary Chronicles
Lyrics
This might destroy you
This situation might have a detrimental effect on you.
Your choice not mine
It's your decision, not mine.
We've got some bad news
We've received unpleasant information or updates.
This world's not kind
The world can be harsh or unkind.
When I hit a wall
Encountering a significant obstacle.
On my way to 29
On the path to age 29.
I felt just like a canary in a coal mine
Felt vulnerable and exposed, like a canary in a coal mine (symbolic of danger).
And I won't deny
I won't hide or pretend.
Cannot lie
Truthful, can't deceive.
You're not that precious all the time
Not always as precious or valuable.
If you are
If you exhibit kindness consistently.
Terminally nice
Being excessively nice to the point of detriment.
These lights might blind you
Bright lights may dazzle or deceive you.
Overt your eyes
Avert your gaze or be cautious.
Doc's got some bad news
Medical professional delivers unfortunate news about time running out.
You're out of time
You're running out of time.
I'll stand beside you
I'll support you, even if it leads to negative consequences.
Ruining your life
Potentially causing harm or destruction to your life.
Good times behind you
Positive experiences are in the past.
A blurry lie
A distorted or unclear falsehood.
When I hit a wall
Encountering a significant obstacle again.
On my way to 29
On the journey to age 29.
I felt just like a canary in a coal mine
Feel vulnerable, like a canary in a coal mine.
And I won't deny
I won't hide or pretend.
Cannot lie
Truthful, can't deceive.
You're not that precious all the time
Not always as precious or valuable.
When you are
When you exhibit kindness consistently.
Terminally nice
Being excessively nice to the point of detriment.
It's pitch black inside this mine
In complete darkness, but coping well.
But I'm doing alright
Disconnecting thoughts from feelings for self-preservation.
I'll just disconnect my thoughts from my feelings
A desire or aspiration that seems unattainable.
But that's a dream
To be mentally well.
To be just fine
Your emotional well-being is important.
Your heart is
Your heart is at risk.
Your brain is
Your brain is at risk.
Your mind is at risk of
Your mind is vulnerable to negative outcomes.
Ending up just like mine
Facing the possibility of a similar fate.
Canary flew the coal mine
The canary, a symbol of warning, left the danger zone right on time.
Right on time
To survive or endure.
To survive
Facing a significant obstacle again.
When I hit a wall
On the journey to age 29.
On my way to 29
Feel vulnerable, like a canary in a coal mine.
I felt just like a canary in a coal mine
I won't hide or pretend.
And I won't deny
Truthful, can't deceive.
I cannot fly
Unable to escape, feeling anxious when you cry.
It makes me nervous when you cry
Because you consistently exhibit kindness.
Cause you are
Being excessively nice to the point of detriment.
Terminally nice
Excessively kind and benevolent.
