Shards
Shards of Resilience: Building a Citadel of Strength in Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Here it comes again!
Anticipation or recognition of a recurring event or challenge.
The day I hoped would never come again
Anxiety about the return of an unwanted day.
A new morning and I am down on my knees again
Expressing vulnerability and submission to circumstances.
Empty hands, an empty head
Feeling empty-handed and mentally unproductive.
No one is getting punished in my stead
Acknowledgment that consequences are not falling on others.
I live in a cage, but in my mind a house is sketched
Contrast between physical confinement and mental escape.
Its where my childhood I have lived, its where I now enter
Nostalgia for a past, happier state represented by a mental image.
Small rooms, in them darkness the past edged
Reflecting on confined spaces with shadows of difficult memories.
In them echoes of joy - faint memories are wedged
Trapped in memories of joy that are fading away.
Shatter that won`t cut is what I am looking for
Desire for a challenge or struggle that doesn't break easily.
Sticking it together I am building my tower
Constructing something meaningful from broken pieces.
The tower is folding, still little is my power
Struggling with fragility, acknowledging limited strength.
On my pilgrimage again, naked and at the fore
Embarking on a difficult journey, exposed and vulnerable.
Again from the bottom, again from nothing
Cycle of starting anew, possibly with a sense of despair.
Not sure I want to get up as I know that feeling
Weighing the difficulty of facing challenges against the comfort of inertia.
Easier to throw away than to gain
Comment on the challenge of acquiring versus discarding.
Tis harder to build than to maim
Highlighting the effort required for creation compared to destruction.
Five years, ten steps, nothing ever changes
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle without progress.
On a whirligig, losing my breath
Symbolic reference to being disoriented and losing direction.
No self - esteem, nothing has value then
Struggling with self-worth and a sense of purposelessness.
Grab me by the neck, take the whip from my hand
Surrendering control and the desire for intervention.
The die is cast, must keep playing
Commitment to continue despite the inevitability of fate.
I am not alone, no surrendering!
A declaration of resilience and refusal to give up.
I feel your love, I have to fight
Acknowledging external support and the necessity to resist.
We`ll build a citadel, build a castle high
Building a metaphorical fortress as a symbol of strength and resilience.
