Mud
Mud-Stained Reflections: Navigating Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
Well I walk
Expressing the act of walking.
Through the rain
Navigating through challenges or difficulties represented by "rain."
And I found my new decade
Finding a new phase of life or a period of ten years.
And the boots on my feet
The speaker's footwear becomes dirty, symbolizing challenges or struggles.
Got covered in mud
Metaphor for facing difficulties or getting involved in challenging situations.
Well I walk
Continuing the journey towards the end of life.
To my grave
Approaching death, reflecting on past errors.
And I felt all my mistakes
Feeling the consequences of past actions as life nears its end.
As the hand grabs a hold
Symbolic hand representing consequences or fate taking control.
Hold of me
Being influenced or controlled by external forces.
Ain't hard to turn around
Suggesting it's relatively easy to change direction early in life.
When you haven't walked that far
Emphasizing the idea that turning away from a path is simpler when not deeply committed.
And when you cross the line you're gonna feel the strength
Crossing a line signifies facing challenges, with strength coming afterward.
So I keep running, running back to your arms
Returning to a comforting place or relationship despite challenges.
Because you take away all the rage
Seeking solace in a relationship that pacifies anger.
and it ain't too late to try it again
Encouragement to attempt reconciling or restarting despite past mistakes.
Yeah
An exclamation, possibly expressing affirmation or determination.
And I take steps from my mistakes
Learning from past errors and taking measured steps forward.
But I still hide the edges on the inside
Keeping vulnerabilities hidden internally despite external progress.
But I don't know if I'll ever be safe
Uncertainty about achieving safety or security.
From my twenties
Reflection on experiences during one's twenties.
And if I die in mistakes
Contemplating the possibility of dying due to past mistakes.
Well I guess it was my fate
Acceptance of fate if death results from previous errors.
But if you're cool hey we'll save a table for you
If the listener is "cool," there's a welcome or place reserved in a relaxed setting.
In the pine trees
Imagery of a reserved spot in a natural, calming environment.
It ain't hard to turn around
Reiterating the ease of changing course early in one's journey.
When you haven't walked that far
Reaffirming the idea that turning back is simpler when not deeply committed.
And when you cross the line you're gonna feel the strength
Re-emphasizing the strength gained after facing challenges.
So I keep running, running back to your arms
Persistently returning to a comforting place or relationship.
Because you take away all the rage
Highlighting the soothing effect of a relationship on anger or distress.
and it ain't too late to try again
Encouraging a fresh attempt to reconcile or restart, suggesting it's not too late.
