Time For You To Stand Up
Embracing Change: Time for Liberation
Lyrics
You say you want distance from me,
You express a desire for distance from me.
Well don’t stand so close,
Advice not to stand too close physically.
'Cause there’s no where else that you’d rather be,
Implying there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
Surrender Render to the facts that don’t relate,
Suggesting acceptance of facts that are irrelevant.
I’ve seen the light and it guides me to the change change.
Having experienced a revelation leading to change.
I did it all so you could be,
Actions done to allow distance from the speaker.
Away away away,
Emphasizing the need to be away.
Away from me
Reiterating the desire for distance.
I need you to,
Expressing a need for belief from the other person.
Believe believe believe,
Repetition of the request for belief.
Believe in me
Further emphasizing the need for belief.
You’re like a car when there’s ice on the road,
Comparing the other person to a dangerous situation (car on icy road).
Yeah out of control you suffocate me,
Feeling suffocated and without hope due to the person's actions.
So that I had no hope,
Expressing the depth of the negative impact.
And then some,
Adding intensity to the negative experience.
Then some, I only laugh when I think of your face,
Laughing only at the thought of the person's face.
I’ve seen the light and it guides me through change.
Reiterating the positive impact of a personal revelation.
I don’t think I was talking to you
Denying that the communication was directed at the person.
I don’t think I don’t think I don’t
Repetition of the denial and uncertainty.
I don’t think I was talking to you,
Reiteration of not addressing the person.
I don’t think I don’t think I don’t think.
Continued repetition of the denial and uncertainty.
