I step by step cracked this song and I feel I have a good understanding. ![]() I feel this song has too long been a mystery. It helps to remember that the intensity of them are temporary if we move through them by actually feeling them, this is why we feel that big release and weight lifted when we find the courage to cry in a world that has so many false messages that crying is "breaking down" and a sign of weakness. To be truly alive means to feel our emotions, even the undesirable ones. What if I am the most qualified person to know how it feels to be me and each our own. It's been hard to give myself the right to my feelings when we're in relationships that people don't accept how we feel as the correct feeling, they say, awwe, don't feel that way, you should feel this way, trying undo our feelings.
