Fallen Not Broken
Resilience Unveiled
Lyrics
Reaching out for peace of mind
Seeking inner calm and tranquility
Me and me said it's alright
Recognizing and accepting personal reassurance
Mountain deep and rivers high
Encountering significant challenges and experiences
It may be coming and I know why
Awareness of impending events and their reasons
I know why I know why
Reiteration of understanding or realization
I wore mink and I wore flesh
Symbolic references to luxury (mink) and human vulnerability (flesh)
And I have meddled and I have festered
Engaging in conflicts and enduring difficulties
I have fallen but not been broken
Facing challenges but remaining resilient
Seventeen a mother child
A young mother without prior planning
Never was by design
Her situation wasn't intended or expected
Living under what she saw
Living beneath societal expectations
Living by and never for
Existing according to others' demands, not her own
Reasons for her peace of mind
Seeking reasons or justification for peace
People think they just live and die
Belief that life is limited to birth and death
But I will never die
Asserting an eternal existence or significance
No I will never die
Reiteration of perpetual existence or significance
I wore head and I wore flesh
Reference to intellectual endeavors and human vulnerability
And I have meddled in the times of pleasure
Engaging in pleasures and experiences
I have fallen but not been broken
Facing trials without succumbing to them
Like the crusaders of 406 at the gates of Constantinople
Historical allusion to the Crusades and their impact
It was the minds of great thinkers of centuries before us
The influence of past thinkers on present actions
And psycho-supposers that make us walk thousands of feet below
Psychological theories affecting human behavior
