Changes
Embracing Metamorphosis: Navigating Life's Changes with The Dirty Diamond
Lyrics
With the days so long and the nights so strange
Expressing the extended length of days and peculiar nature of nights
From a dire situation emerges the change
Positive change arises from a difficult or urgent situation
When the shit hits the fan and the lines are drawn in the sand
When a crisis occurs and positions or boundaries are established
Can you make those hard decisions to be a free and sovereign man
Questioning the ability to make tough choices necessary for personal freedom and independence
Something always told me not to leave the sad and lonely at the table
An inner feeling advises against abandoning those who are sad or lonely
With the blinds pulled undercover I discover that a full moon will rise again
Despite hiding, a significant change or opportunity will present itself
I'm going through changes ...going through changes
Undergoing a period of change or transition
But I know I will be more than fine when I come out the other end
Confidence that things will be more than okay after overcoming difficulties
Going through changes... Going through changes
Continuation of experiencing changes or transitions
And I know it's high time for me to step up and claim my name
Realizing it's time to assert oneself and claim one's identity
It's survival in this town My friends and rivals can't be found
Life in this environment demands survival; friends and rivals seem absent
To each his own as so they say Tell me sister will you go mways
Individuals choose their own paths; questioning a sister's decision to part ways
I'm a tender beast of the Nile For the grapes that bleed red wine
Symbolizing oneself as a sensitive yet powerful being, comparing oneself to grapes that yield red wine
But at a hat drop moment's notice I'll surrender to divine time
Ready to submit to divine timing in pivotal moments
Something always told me not to leave the sad and lonely at the table
Repeated sentiment advising against abandoning those in need
By the bright light I was blinded and reminded that a full moon will rise again
Despite being blinded, recognizing that significant change will reoccur
Somewhere far in the dessert my heart is beating in the chest of a scorpion
Symbolic imagery of feeling a strong connection elsewhere, comparing the heart to a scorpion in the desert
Hence why Adam and Even could not breathe in the Garden of Eden
Referencing the story of Adam and Eve to express the difficulty of breathing or existing in certain environments
They were going through changes ...going through changes
Continuation of experiencing a phase of transition or change
But I know I will be more than fine when I come out the other end
Belief that everything will be more than okay once this period of difficulty is surpassed
Going through changes... going through changes
Reiteration of undergoing a process of change or transition
And the fire of transformation is burning me up again
Intense process of transformation is consuming the individual
