Emotional Resilience Unveiled: Zola Jesus' Powerful Message
Lyrics
I'm the only one that sticks around
I am the only one who remains present and loyal.
When they call your name out of a crowd
Even in a crowd, I respond when your name is called.
And you say it don't hurt when I'm going alone
You claim it doesn't hurt when I go alone.
And you know it don't hurt but I keep it strong
Although you know it doesn't hurt, I maintain strength.
So I don't try to go
I refrain from attempting to leave.
I just won't and you know
I simply won't go, and you understand.
The need to know it takes you over
The compelling need to know overwhelms you.
Takes you over
This need takes control of you.
The need to grow it take you under
The need for growth submerges you.
Take you under
It pulls you under its influence.
It bares the keeping of resistance
Resistance is difficult to maintain.
To the listen again and again
To listen repeatedly is a challenge.
It takes you over again and again
Repetition brings you under its control again and again.
It takes you over
The compelling force takes over repeatedly.
I'm the only one that makes you stop
I am the only one who can make you pause.
And I know the plate is going down
I recognize the situation is deteriorating.
When you say you don't see the red in my eyes
You claim not to see the intensity in my eyes.
Do you really want to bring the fire outside
Questioning if you truly want to escalate the conflict.
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to leave.
Lose my eyes I'll never show
I hide my emotions and vulnerabilities.
The need to know it takes you over
The irresistible need to know takes control.
Takes you over
This need dominates and influences you.
The need to grow it take you under
The need for growth pulls you under its sway.
Take you under
It submerges you further.
It bares the keeping of no resistance
No resistance is maintained.
To the listen again and again
To listen repeatedly becomes effortless.
It takes you over again and again
Repetition continues to take control.
It takes you over
The compelling force continues to dominate.
Oh, oh, oh
An expressive sound, possibly conveying emotional intensity.
