Girl With the Rhino Skin
Rhino Skin Revelation: Embracing Humanity's Strength
Lyrics
She has the face of a woman
Describing the appearance of a woman
Smooth but toughened; almost wooden
Her face is smooth yet tough, almost wooden
A curse she received in her youth
Referring to a curse she received in her youth
Only a girl of seven
Indicating she was only seven years old at the time
When her mother taught her a lesson
Recalling a lesson from her mother, named "the ultimate truth"
One called "the ultimate truth"
Describing the content of the lesson
She said, "Girl, don't count on anyone
Advice from her mother: "Don't count on anyone to avoid disappointment"
And you'll never be let down"
Emphasizing the impact of not relying on others
So how do you propose to begin
Raising the question of how to start opening up to others
To open up to your fellow man
Encouraging vulnerability and connection with others
When you can't even see that your skin
Highlighting a difficulty in recognizing one's own emotional barriers
Is porcelain, but it's as thick as cement?
Metaphorically describing her emotional resilience as thick skin
I've done my share of neglecting
Admitting to neglecting those who deserve protection
Those who would warrant protecting, but
Acknowledging a limited perspective focused on targets
You only see target boards
Encouraging acceptance of human vulnerability
Don't be afraid to be human
Asserting human strength beyond assumptions
We're stronger than you assume; we are
Stressing the underestimated capabilities of humanity
More than you give credit for
Repeating the theme of human potential and resilience
So now, girl, just have an ounce of faith
Advising the girl to have faith in others
And you may just be astounded
Suggesting positive outcomes with a bit of faith
So how do you propose to begin
Reiterating the question of how to start opening up to others
To open up to your fellow man
Emphasizing the importance of connecting with fellow humans
When you can't even see that your skin
Repeating the challenge of recognizing emotional barriers
Is porcelain, but it's as thick as cement?
Restating the metaphor of thick skin as emotional resilience
How do you propose to begin
Rephrasing the question of how to start opening up to others
To open up to your fellow man
Encouraging vulnerability and connection with others (repeated)
When you can't even see that your skin
Highlighting the challenge of recognizing emotional barriers (repeated)
Is porcelain, but it's as thick as cement?
Restating the metaphor of thick skin as emotional resilience (repeated)
