Evergreen Resilience: Unfading Strength in the Face of Rejection
Lyrics
Nights turn cold and I don't shake
Nights become cold, but I remain resilient.
Days go dark I don't lose my way
Even in challenging times, I don't lose my sense of direction.
Drink in the sun it's good for the bones
Taking in the positive aspects of life, like the sun, is beneficial for one's strength.
Gotta watch your back when the wind howls low
Being cautious when faced with difficulties or threats, especially when the wind howls ominously.
I don't know the reason
Expressing uncertainty about a rejection.
You turned me down
Reflecting on being turned down.
But I don't have to wait a season
Not needing to wait for a specific time to return.
'Til I come back around
Confidently asserting that a return will happen.
Because I'm evergreen
Describing oneself as "evergreen" - enduring and not shedding leaves.
I don't drop no leaves
Emphasizing the enduring nature by stating that no leaves are dropped.
Creeping vines up the side of my face
Imagery of vines growing on the face, possibly representing challenges or burdens.
Cracks in the trunk it's starting to break
Noticing cracks in one's resilience or foundation.
Lock me into some dreadful vice
Feeling confined or trapped in a negative situation.
Trapping me for a month-long night
Being ensnared in a challenging period that feels prolonged.
I don't know the reason
Repeating the uncertainty of the earlier rejection.
You turned me down
Reiterating the experience of being turned down.
But I don't have to wait a season
Reaffirming the lack of need to wait for a specific time to return.
'Til I come back around
Expressing confidence in the inevitability of returning.
Because I'm evergreen
Reiterating the enduring and unchanging nature, being "evergreen."
I don't drop no leaves
Stressing the constancy by asserting the absence of leaf-shedding.
