The Worriers
Embracing Life's Currents: The Worriers' Journey
Lyrics
Sometimes wine, it turns to gin
Sometimes, the pleasant experience of wine can transform into a harsher one like gin.
Panic knocks, I remember when
The feeling of panic reminds the speaker of a past experience.
She said everything good was homegrown
A person once mentioned that everything good comes from one's origins or home.
But love leaks out
Love can fade away or be lost.
It's a chemical, you know
Love is described as a chemical substance.
The worriers try to live longer
People who worry a lot try to prolong their lives.
So they don't live big
Worriers tend to avoid living extravagantly or taking big risks.
So dead set against getting hurt
Those afraid of getting hurt are determined not to experience strong emotions.
They never feel much anything
Such individuals may end up not feeling much of anything due to their fear.
But life walks fast, 'cause it knows where it goes
Life moves swiftly because it has a clear direction.
Down a stony path that bends and rolls
Life's journey is challenging, with twists and turns.
Where all the beautiful things get buried in the snow, the dirt, and sand
Beautiful things in life can be obscured or lost in challenging circumstances.
It's natural, you know
This is a natural occurrence, part of life's cycle.
The worriers try to live longer

They never feel much anything
Due to their fear, worriers may not feel the depth of emotions.
Worriers play life safer
Worriers prefer a safer approach to life.
But life, it doesn't play safe
However, life itself is unpredictable and doesn't always follow a safe path.
So you pass them pushing up flowers
As a result, those playing it safe might be left behind, represented metaphorically by pushing up flowers.
Every day
Every day, these individuals witness the passing of time.
Your paddle slips away, the river rages forth
A metaphorical description of facing a challenging situation where control is slipping away.
Your boat's near the brink, the waterfall roars
The situation becomes critical, akin to approaching a dangerous waterfall.
A worrier would cry, but what if you smile
In a difficult moment, a worrier might cry, but the speaker suggests an alternative response - smiling.
Made your peace with it, relax and ride
Accepting the situation, making peace with it, and calmly facing it.
Relax and ride
An emphasis on relaxation and going with the flow in challenging times.
The worriers try to live longer
