Breathe
Embracing the Storm: Finding Roots in the Rain
Lyrics
Slow it down and let me listen
Desire to slow down and pay attention
To the rain that stains my roof
Reflecting on the rain that marks the roof as a metaphor for life's struggles
Hold me down with two white fists and
Feeling restrained or held back
Make me still so I'll grow roots
Desire to be calm and rooted
I try to lie like I should
Attempting to deceive or hide the truth
But why can't I die and feel good?
Questioning the inability to find solace in death
So good?
Questioning why death doesn't bring relief
Cause I can't stop and breathe
Expressing an inability to pause and relax
Cause I can't stop and breathe
Reiteration of feeling unable to pause and relax
Will you ever stop to notice
Asking if one will ever notice the passing of time
How the time you thought you had
Realization that time is fleeting and doesn't conform to plans
Never wanted to ebb and flow with
Realization that life doesn't follow expected patterns
All the things that you had planned
Adapting to unexpected circumstances
Don't cry it's fine, understood?
Encouragement not to cry and accept the situation
Let's fly with shut eyes and feel good
Proposing to embrace life without hesitation
So good
Questioning why feeling good is elusive
Cause I can't stop and breathe
Reiteration of inability to pause and relax
Cause I can't stop and breathe
Reiteration of feeling unable to pause and relax
