TV Song
Emotional Escape: Exploring Life's Rollercoaster Through TV
Lyrics
Don't lay it on me, on me
There's a request not to burden the speaker
Don't you leave me here
Desire for companionship, not to be left alone
I like to sit and cry in front of my TV
Enjoying emotional release while watching TV
I like to think of words to scream
Reflecting on expressing oneself passionately
About all it is I am and all it is I want to be
Contemplating identity and aspirations
Over and over
A repetitive cycle of emotions and actions
I laugh and cry
Experiencing laughter and tears
But the movie it ain't as real as I want it to be
Desire for the movie to feel more authentic
I like to sit and cry over and over again
Repeatedly finding solace in crying
And the tears they please me
Deriving comfort from tears
They are all I need to know
Recognizing tears as significant knowledge
As I zap from show to show
Channel surfing through different shows
And a man on a bike comes on
Introduction of a character on TV
He says:
Character's statement about his situation
"Man, my wheels don't turn if the road don't feel right"
Expressing readiness to remain stagnant
I say, "I'll stand still
Choosing to wait for a significant change
And wait for the skies to burn tonight"
Awaiting an intense emotional experience
So I can
Desire to bury emotions to prevent pain
Bury you, it's all I can do
Intent to keep someone away by burying feelings
So you won't come through
Wishing to avoid emotional entanglement
At least for a little while
Hope for temporary peace without disturbance
My life will be alright
Seeking stability despite emotional turmoil
I like to sit and watch it all I can
Enjoying TV as an emotional outlet
Crying like a man
Expressing emotions in a stereotypically masculine way
And leave it for another day
Delaying emotional processing for another time
I'll stay here in my precious cage
Choosing to remain in a familiar but confining space
And lose it while I can
Willing to lose emotions to maintain stability
Cut it off by minute roots
Metaphorically cutting ties with emotions
And stick it in the ground
Attempting to bury emotions deep within
And bury you, it's-a all I can do
Repeating the desire to bury emotions
So you won't come through
Continued effort to keep emotions suppressed
At least for a little while
Seeking temporary relief from emotional distress
My life will be alright
Hope for stability amid emotional turmoil
You see
Expressing a realization or perspective
I been waiting
Waiting with uncertainty or hesitation
Here in doubt
Being in a state of uncertainty or indecision
But I don't fear your light show
No longer fearing an impressive but superficial display
And I don't fear your eyes
Overcoming fear or intimidation from someone's gaze
Not anymore
No longer affected by certain experiences
Every time we score
Perhaps referring to successful moments
I like to sit and cry
Finding solace in crying as a coping mechanism
And on that score
Intending to continue emotional release
I think I'll cry a little more
Desire to extend the period of emotional expression
I think I'll keep the TV on
Choosing to keep the TV on for continuous comfort
I thin I'll cry for all night long
Planning to cry for an extended duration
I'm sure that it won't do me no good
Realization that crying may not serve a practical purpose
No, but it will
Understanding that despite no practical benefit, crying may help
Shake you off of me momma
Wanting to rid oneself of maternal influence
And cut you loose from me girl
Seeking independence from emotional ties
It means the world to
Emphasizing the significance of detachment
Bury you, it's-a all I can do
Continuing the desire to bury emotions for relief
So you won't come through
Repeating the intent to keep emotions suppressed
At least for a little while
Desire for temporary emotional stability
My life will be alright
Seeking temporary peace amidst emotional turmoil
