My Soul My Choice
Soulful Struggles: Unveiling Life's Choices in 'My Soul My Choice'
Lyrics
Tied, tied down
Tied down, feeling restricted or restrained.
Either in rags or silken gowns
Regardless of one's status (rags or silken gowns), facing constraints.
Bending back trying to please
Bending backward, making efforts to please others.
On my hands and knees
Suggestive of subservience or submission, possibly to societal expectations.
Lying to yourself
Lying to oneself, avoiding facing personal truths.
Put them feelins up on the shelf
Suppressing emotions, keeping feelings hidden.
Suck it up don't let it show
Enduring difficulties without displaying vulnerability.
Can't no one ever know
Keeping personal struggles a secret from others.
it's my soul and my choice to bear it
Expressing ownership of one's soul and the autonomy to bear its burdens.
And if you stand in my way
Warning that interference will lead to consequences.
You're gonna lose me I swear it now
Pledging a commitment to self-determination, even if it means losing others.
Time ain't on my side
Feeling the pressure of time and the fatigue of aging.
I'm getting older Lord I'm so tired
Expressing weariness and a sense of being drained.
Well wired the way I am
Describing a wired or tense state of being.
Broken pathways I can't mend
Acknowledging broken pathways in life that cannot be repaired.
Cryin out loud
Crying out loud, expressing inner turmoil or pain.
Shut yo mouth, stuff it down
Advising to remain silent and repress emotions.
Be forgiving be sweet
Encouraging forgiveness and sweetness despite personal struggles.
And don't ever show your teeth
Emphasizing the need to hide one's true feelings, avoiding conflict.
Well it's my soul and my choice to bear it
Reiteration of the ownership of one's soul and the choice to bear its burdens.
And if you stand in my way
Warning of consequences for those who try to impede personal choices.
You're gonna lose me I swear it now
Reiterating the commitment to self-determination, even if it means losing others.
