Navigating Life's Crossroads: Reflections from 'Peacekeepers'
Lyrics
Getting sober o and I get so emotional I cry
Expressing emotional vulnerability while reflecting on sobriety.
Thinking about you
Contemplating thoughts about a significant person.
Got my memory back to think of all the things I could have had but I just pushed them all away
Recalling missed opportunities and regrets.
I don't think there's anything I didn't push away
Acknowledging a pattern of pushing things away.
I gave it all away what did i want
Reflecting on giving up everything without clarity on desires.
And i would like to hold something that's near and dear to me and thank the lord above for what i've got
Expressing gratitude for current blessings while desiring meaningful connections.
But i don't know how
Feeling uncertain about how to navigate challenges.
I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty and doubt about overcoming current struggles.
But I don't known how i'm gonna live thru this one
-I guess that i always have
Recognizing a history of resilience.
& I got so much in me
Feeling a depth of creativity and a desire to contribute to the world.
So much to create and give to all the world I wanna have my kids
Expressing a longing for family and a fulfilling life.
And meet my lady cloaked in strange light who knows who she is but I know she will be the one for me
Imagining a future partner bathed in mystery and significance.
I can't wait I'm so young i got all this life to live but part of me thinks i am at the end
Balancing youthful anticipation with a sense of potential finality.
Cuz I got two people in me
Internal conflict between destructive and nurturing impulses.
One wants to slit my wrists
Expressing a dark inclination towards self-harm.
And one wants to plant flowers round the world
Contrasting the desire for harm with a wish for global beauty and growth.
And I pray he will
Expressing hope and prayer for positive change collectively.
And I pray you will
-And I pray we will
-Yeah I pray we will but I won't whine if it don't work out how I want
Acceptance of outcomes, regardless of personal desires.
Once I let this strange man stay inside our house but all my roommates said you've got to kick him out
Recounting an encounter with a seemingly aimless person, reflecting on conflicting beliefs about action and inaction.
He had this worldview that if he did nothing something would
-appear and show the way eventually
-It challenged me because I sorta kinda believed he was right
-But then again he didn't do shit all day
-Just sat on our couch in the commune all day waiting for a sign
-and so i guess that sign was me
-Because I told him you have to get out and find yourself a place to sleep
-And he was on his way
Taking decisive action to remove the disruptive influence.
Who knows where he went
Speculating about the unknown destination of the removed person.
Who knows where he went
-Who knows where he went
-And it was mid October so so long ago
Reflecting on the past, emphasizing the passage of time.
