Lyrics
Life now just ain't what I'm used to
Life has changed, and it's not familiar anymore.
I depend on everyone
My dependence on others is significant.
I'm learning how to love my issues
I am in the process of accepting and embracing my personal challenges.
I'm learning how to be alone
Learning to navigate life independently is a current focus.
I sing like my papa used to
I sing in a manner reminiscent of my father.
I carry with me his old shell
I carry his influence and legacy with me.
I can't remember who I was when
I struggle to recall my past self.
He taught me I was made of steel
My father instilled in me a sense of strength and resilience.
But now it just sinks me to the ground
The current reality is overwhelming and brings me down.
I'm terrified of what I've figured out
I am afraid of the truths I have discovered about myself.
Relief when you turn me back around
There's relief when someone helps redirect my focus.
But fear again 'cos time is ticking down
Fear returns as time continues to pass.
Down
(Repetition) Emphasizing the descent or negative progression.
Down and down and down
(Repetition) Reiterating the sense of decline or descent.
So I keep running
I persist in running, possibly from challenges or fears.
So I keep running
(Repetition) Emphasizing the continuous act of running.
So I keep running
(Repetition) Continuing to run, suggesting an ongoing struggle or journey.
So I keep running
(Repetition) Reiterating the theme of persistent movement or escape.
