Don't Drop the Baby
Nurturing Life's Symphony: The JudyBats' Poetic Ode to Parenthood
Lyrics
Aren't we all born at sea, water breaks
A metaphorical beginning, suggesting life starts with a tumultuous event akin to a sea voyage.
The woman screams, such violence
Describing the intense and violent nature of childbirth.
You'd think that our world
Reflecting on the perception that the world is in chaos during childbirth.
Was coming to an end
Emphasizing the dramatic and life-altering nature of the birthing process.
Aren't we all borne on blood, hearts beat
Continuing the metaphor, highlighting the vital role of blood and heartbeats in life.
The cord ruptures, so much gore
Portraying the messy reality of childbirth, possibly emphasizing the sacrifice involved.
You'd think so much injury
Questioning the possibility of healing from significant injuries sustained during childbirth.
We'd never mend
Suggesting resilience and the ability to overcome despite the perceived damage.
I want and want and need and need
Expressing a desire for emotional connection and intimacy, using the metaphor of growing like a weed.
I love when you sleep with me
-Don't pick me up, don't put me down
-I am growing on you like a weed
-Don't drop the baby 'cause he might cry
Using the metaphor of a baby to convey vulnerability, emphasizing the need for care and attention.

-Don't I know, I cause you too much pain
Acknowledging the potential pain caused, but also recognizing the resilience and acceptance of the burden.
Yes, but you bear it well
-I'd think, such a burden
-You would resent me, resent me
-Even though, after all
Addressing insecurities about perceived weakness and the fear of being a disappointment.
It's only natural, I'm childish
-I'd think being so weak
-I would disgust you, disgust you
-I want and want and need and need
Repeating the desire for connection and growth, likening the relationship to the growth of a weed.
I love when you sleep with me
