Pooly
Navigating Love's Shadows: Embracing Vulnerability in 'Pooly' by Troll Dolly
Lyrics
How can I relate to you
Expressing difficulty in understanding or connecting with the listener.
when I'm afraid to speak
Fear of communication, hesitating to express thoughts or feelings.
and I am, quite frankly,
Open admission of fear or apprehension.
I'm afraid to ask
Reluctance to seek information or clarification due to fear.
and I'm afraid to be passed
Fear of being surpassed or overshadowed in some way.
down the duty of your pain for her
Feeling burdened by the responsibility of dealing with someone else's pain, particularly for another person ("her").
when I'm hurting for her too
Despite personal pain, still empathizing and hurting for the person referred to as "her."
And I'm hurting with her too
Reiteration of shared pain and empathy for "her."
How can I make space for you
Questioning how to make emotional space for the listener while actively seeking their love.
when I'm labouring for your love
Putting effort into gaining the love of the listener.
for a stable sort of love
Desiring a stable and secure form of love.
and I'm afraid to ask for it
Fear of expressing the need for stability in love.
cause I wake up in a deficit
Avoiding expression due to fear of being at a disadvantage.
And I'm made up of my past
Identity shaped by past experiences.
And you're made of your past
Acknowledging the influence of the past on individual identities.
And we're made up of our past
Collective identity shaped by shared past experiences.
And we're made up of her past too
Emphasizing the shared influence of "her" past on collective identity.
And we're made up her past too
Reiteration of the impact of "her" past on collective identity.
How can I relate to you
Repetition of the opening lines, underscoring the challenge in relating due to fear.
when I'm afraid to speak
Reiteration of fear of speaking and asking for clarification.
and I am, quite frankly,
Restating the fear and apprehension openly.
I'm afraid to ask
Repetition of the reluctance to seek information or clarification.
and I'm afraid to be passed
Repetition of the fear of being surpassed or overshadowed.
down the beauty of your pain for her
Reiteration of the burden of dealing with another's pain and its impact on beauty.
when I'm hurting for her too
Despite personal pain, still empathizing and hurting for "her."
And I'm hurting with her too
Reiteration of shared pain and empathy for "her."
