Get Up for Something
Unveiling the Depths: Willow Mile's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Yeah we all get up for something that calls our name
Individuals are motivated by something that resonates with them.
And we hope for something different to surprise ourselves
Expecting and desiring change to bring unexpected joy to our lives.
But it’s always the same for us
Despite aspirations, the outcome often feels repetitive for everyone.
It's bringing us down
The situation is causing a negative impact on our well-being.
And we try to forget the past
Attempting to move forward by leaving behind past experiences.
Our own little town
Our personal environment or circumstances.
I cannot follow the herd’s stampeding feet down the slope
Choosing not to conform to societal expectations or trends.
The moon is so hollow tonight it’s on us to lead…
Feeling responsible to take the lead, even in challenging situations.
If seeing is believing, then we are blind
Expressing skepticism about the reliability of appearances.
Running blindfolded from shadows deep in our minds
Avoiding facing inner struggles and challenges.
Still, it’s always so sad for us
Despite efforts, the emotional burden remains.
Our tears hit the ground
Expressing emotional pain that affects the collective.
And they leave a mark on our face
Visible emotional impact left by tears.
And falls with no sound
The emotional release is unnoticed by others.
I cannot follow the herd’s stampeding feet down the slope
Reiteration of the refusal to conform to societal pressures.
The moon is so hollow tonight it’s on us to lead
Emphasizing the responsibility to guide others, even in darkness.
Maybe tomorrow the sun will be bright enough
Hope for a brighter future, anticipating positive change.
Erasing the narrow ways we look at life
Desiring a shift in perspective towards a more open-minded approach to life.
If we all stopped now and listened, there would be no sound
Suggesting a moment of collective silence reveals profound truths.
But when dust falls down and settles on the ground
Symbolizing the settling of consequences and realization.
It will come first from far away
Change originates from distant sources, subtly influencing.
Like the whispering trees
Nature serves as a messenger, advising rest and reflection.
And they’re trying to tell us to rest
Encouraging to pause and relax, particularly in the evening.
On this cool evening breeze
Reference to a calming breeze in the evening.
I cannot follow the herd’s stampeding feet down the slope
Reiteration of resisting conformity and leading despite challenges.
The moon is so hollow tonight it’s on us to lead
Emphasizing the responsibility to guide, even in the face of emptiness.
Maybe tomorrow the sun will be bright enough
Hope for a brighter future, repeating the desire for positive change.
Erasing the narrow ways we look at life
Expressing the wish for a broader, more positive perspective on life.
