Easy On Me
Navigating Life's River: Embracing Redemption and Second Chances
Lyrics
There ain't no gold in this river
There is no wealth or prosperity in this situation or relationship.
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
Continuing to engage in a futile or unproductive activity for a long time.
I know there is hope in these waters
A belief that there is optimism or positive potential in the current circumstances.
But I can't bring myself to swim
Despite the hope, unable to overcome personal reluctance or fear to fully participate.
When I am drowning in this silence
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by the prevailing silence or lack of communication.
Baby, let me in
Pleading for emotional acceptance and understanding, asking to be let into the other person's emotions.
Go easy on me, baby
Requesting compassion and leniency in judgment.
I was still a child
Acknowledging a lack of maturity or experience.
Didn't get the chance to
Not having the opportunity to explore and understand the world as a child.
Feel the world around me
Expressing a missed chance to fully engage with one's surroundings.
I had no time to choose
Being forced into decisions without adequate time for contemplation or choice.
What I chose to do
Regret over the lack of control in determining one's own path.
So go easy on me
A plea for understanding and empathy despite past actions.
There ain't no room for things to change
No space for transformation or improvement in the current stagnant situation.
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
Both parties entrenched in their habits, making it difficult for change.
You can't deny how hard I have tried
Highlighting the considerable effort made to alter oneself for the sake of others.
I changed who I was to put you both first
Adapting one's identity for the benefit of others but reaching a point of surrender.
But now I give up
Acknowledging defeat or resignation from the struggle to change.
Go easy on me, baby
Reiterating the request for understanding despite personal shortcomings.
I was still a child
Reflecting on immaturity and lack of life experience.
Didn't get the chance to
Repeating the missed opportunity to explore the world as a child.
Feel the world around me
Expressing a yearning to connect with the surroundings.
Had no time to choose
No time to make personal choices and decisions.
What I chose to do
Regret over the lack of agency in determining one's actions.
So go easy on me
Reiterating the plea for understanding despite past actions.
I had good intentions
Claiming positive intentions and high aspirations.
And the highest hopes
An expression of optimism and ambitious goals.
But I know right now
Realizing that current circumstances may not reflect the initial intentions.
That probably doesn't even show
Advising the other person to be understanding even if intentions aren't apparent.
Go easy on me, baby
Repeating the plea for compassion and leniency.
I was still a child
Reiterating the acknowledgment of immaturity.
I didn't get the chance to
Highlighting the lack of opportunity to fully experience the world.
Feel the world around me
Repeating the sentiment of being rushed in decision-making.
I had no time to choose
Expressing the absence of time to choose one's path.
What I chose to do
Reiterating the regret over the lack of control in personal decisions.
So go easy on me
Final plea for understanding and mercy despite past actions.
