Sheeep
Embracing Individuality: Topeka Clementine's Poetic Message
Lyrics
Bit clueless, but I been told
Expressing a lack of understanding, but having received information.
That I'm just a late bloomer with an old soul
Describing oneself as someone who develops later in life but has an old-fashioned spirit.
And I think it's time that you maybe let go
Suggesting that it's time for someone to move on or release something.
Cause it seems like time's really taking its toll on you darling
Noting the impact of time on a person, perhaps in a negative way.
Child, oh, won't you please
Asking a child to relax and sleep.
Just rest your head and go to sleep
Encouraging someone to rest without concerns.
And don't you worry about the people
Advising not to worry about others who mock, referring to them as 'sheep.'
Laughing at you they're just sheep
Describing people who mindlessly follow others.
And they all run to the slaughter
Imagery of blind obedience leading to a negative outcome.
They're the sons of the daughters
Referring to the offspring of those who blindly follow, suggesting a cycle.
Who have never known what true love means
Commenting on a lack of understanding of true love in a lineage.
A new day fits the old mold
Contrasting a new day with familiar patterns or routines.
Late June, but I'm still cold
Expressing a sense of enduring coldness despite the time of year.
And they tell me
Receiving advice or information.
Pay soon, but but I'm not sold
Being informed about a payment but expressing skepticism or reluctance.
On this life that
Expressing doubt or hesitation about embracing a suggested way of life.
They're saying I should take hold
Encouraging someone to rest without concerns.
Child, oh, won't you please
Repeating the earlier advice to a child to relax and sleep.
Just rest your head and go to sleep
Encouraging someone to rest without concerns.
And don't you worry about the people
Advising not to worry about others who mock, referring to them as 'sheep.'
Laughing at you they're just sheep
Describing people who mindlessly follow others.
And they all run to the slaughter
Imagery of blind obedience leading to a negative outcome.
They're the sons of the daughters
Referring to the offspring of those who blindly follow, suggesting a cycle.
Who have never known what true love means
Commenting on a lack of understanding of true love in a lineage.
I'm sitting pretty, but I been so
Feeling comfortable but acknowledging mental struggles.
All lost up in my mental
Describing a state of confusion or being mentally overwhelmed.
And it feels like I'm never at my best though
Acknowledging a personal struggle but anticipating improvement over time.
But in time I know somehow
Expressing confidence in reaching a positive outcome in the future.
I'mma get there with you darling
Anticipating progress and improvement with a loved one.
