When mommy tries to (kill you)
Expressing a situation where a mother attempts harm or poses a threat.
What are you to (to do)
Pondering the appropriate response or course of action in the face of the threat.
Lie under the sheets and dream of future days
Suggesting escapism or seeking refuge in imagination during difficult times.
When you can be away
Anticipating a future when one can break free from the challenging situation.
And be free
Desiring freedom and liberation from the current distressing circumstances.
When mommy tries to (kill you)
Reiterating the theme of maternal threat and the uncertainty it brings.
What are you to (to do)
Raising the question again about the appropriate response to maternal danger.
Grab her hand, tell her she is the only one
Suggesting a possible solution by seeking a connection and emphasizing enjoyment.
That we can have such fun
Highlighting the potential for joy and fun even in challenging circumstances.
Just wait and see
Encouraging patience and the belief that positive outcomes will eventually unfold.
I don't wanna wait up for mom
Expressing a reluctance to wait for the mother, hinting at a strained relationship.
She's got to bed with a different pa
Indicating the mother's involvement with someone else, adding complexity to the situation.
I'm not sleepy, just you wait and see
Rejecting sleepiness, possibly signaling alertness to the challenges ahead.
