Navigating Shadows: Tree River's Reflection on Family, Pride, and Silence
Lyrics
I try to climb up my family tree
I attempt to explore my family history
Its limbs are lost like an amputee
Its branches are absent, resembling an amputee's missing limbs
I'm getting sick of swallowing my pride
I'm becoming tired of suppressing my pride
I drink it down but my mouth is dry
I consume it, but my mouth remains dry
It won't show, no
The struggles and challenges I face may not be evident externally
Don't deny, grow
Do not refuse or reject growth
Seven souls in a quiet cage
Seven individuals confined in a silent enclosure
Pretend the world's gonna be okay
Pretend that everything in the world will be fine
I drew a line so I can't look back
I've set a boundary, preventing me from revisiting the past
I need the lying like a heart attack
I require falsehoods as if they were a severe medical emergency
Don't know where I stand
Uncertain about my position or stance
And the silence is resounding
The silence around me is echoing loudly
It's harder to demand
Expressing needs and desires is more challenging
Than give in to your surroundings
It's easier to succumb to the influence of your environment
Don't know where I fit
Uncertain about where I belong
But it doesn't even matter
But it holds no significance
It's harder to commit
Committing to something is more difficult
Than to will the ice to shatter
Than forcing the frozen state to break apart
