Better Way
Discovering Compassion: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Watchhouse's 'Better Way'
Lyrics
Oh why would you try to be so unkind
Questioning the intention behind unkind behavior
Your laughter echoes in my head
Memories of laughter linger, impacting thoughts
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone I'm reminded
Repeated urging to avoid dwelling on past reminders, particularly about the deceased
Don't forget about the dead
Reminder not to overlook the deceased, to remember them
If I could go walking with you by my side
Desire to accompany someone while walking together
Would you be so unkind, so unkind
Questioning if the person would continue being unkind in that situation
You could do all the talking, just speak your mind
Suggesting the person to express themselves freely and honestly
Free your mind
Encouraging the person to liberate their thoughts
Well you found you had a voice
Discovery of one's own voice but lacking positive content
And the world stopped to listen
Attention received when speaking but without meaningful contribution
But you had nothing good to say
Criticism of the lack of constructive or positive messages
Now you're alone, digging for bones, buried in your phone for hours
Metaphorically isolated and engaged in unproductive activities
What a waste of a day
Reflection on the wasted day due to fruitless pursuits
If I could go walking with you by my side
Reiteration of the desire to walk together with someone
Would you be so unkind, so unkind
Questioning if unkindness would persist in that scenario
You could do all the talking, just speak your mind
Encouraging open and honest communication
Free your mind
Advocating for mental liberation
I hope you find a better way
Expressing hope for the person to find a better approach or path
I hope you find
Reiteration of hope for improvement
I hope you find a better way
Reiteration of the desire for the person to discover a better approach
To be kinder
Hope for the person to exhibit more kindness
