Taking up space
Embracing Space: A Journey of Self-Reflection and Authenticity
Lyrics
Get up now come on make your bed, start your day right that's what they said
Encouragement to start the day with positive actions like making the bed.
Make a list clean your space, listen to some wisdom put a smile on your face
Emphasis on organizing and finding joy through wisdom and a positive mindset.
So many ways to move and bend, hold your pose and count to ten
Encouragement to explore various ways of movement and maintaining composure.
And they're telling me it's not enough to be, give some something I can see
Expressing the need to go beyond appearances and show tangible actions.
What can you show, how far did you go, prove it to me
Questioning the depth of one's efforts and the need for visible accomplishments.
Asking myself
Self-reflection and questioning one's choices or actions.
What if I, I stayed right here, and I didn't, didn't leave this chair all year
Contemplating the idea of staying in the current situation without change.
And what if I, I just tried to be, would you let me be
Exploring the possibility of simply being oneself without external expectations.
Could I take up some space just to be
Desiring the freedom to take up space and exist without constant proving.
So much wisdom I could gain, all the productivity I'd frame
Acknowledging the potential for personal growth and productivity.
Books to read and bread to bake, but what if I just sat here with my heartache
Questioning the value of productivity when faced with personal struggles.
What can you show, how far did you go, prove it to me
Reiteration of the need for tangible proof and accomplishment.
Asking myself
Continued self-reflection and questioning of one's actions and choices.
What if I, I stayed right here, and I didn't, didn't leave this chair all year
Revisiting the idea of staying in the current situation for an extended period.
And what if I, I just tried to be, would you let me be
Reiterating the desire to be oneself without external pressures.
Could I take up some space just to be
Expressing the longing to take up space without constant justification.
We're not the machines that we try to be
Rejecting the idea of being robotic or machine-like in behavior.
And if we let go just a little then we might see we're not so bad
Suggesting that letting go a little can reveal our inherent goodness.
When we let ourselves be
Highlighting the importance of allowing oneself to be without constraints.
Asking myself
Continued self-questioning and contemplation of staying in the current state.
What if I, I stayed right here, and I didn't, didn't leave this chair all year
Revisiting the idea of remaining in the current situation for an extended period.
What if I, I just tried to be, would you let me be
Exploring the possibility of being oneself without external expectations.
Could I take up some space just to be
Expressing the desire to take up space and exist without constant validation.
