Brave Thing to Try
Skirmish: The last weekend (@hudders6400598)Liner Notes
#lyricsonly Hats off to anyone still trying something new while the clock is ticking down. Looking around for inspiration, I saw a shuffle dance video with the keywords “brave” and “strong.” That was my starting point.
Lyrics
It won’t break it won’t bend Time only goes by Then it comes to an end And you’re still asking why
That’s a brave thing to try Brave thing to try Brave thing to try On the last weekend
You heard what they said But you must see it through Push it into the red And they’re looking at you
That’s a brave thing to do Brave thing to do Brave thing to do On the last weekend
Everybody wants to go outside Everybody wants to run and go hide Everybody wants to practice all their lines Everybody wants to lock down their designs Nobody’s out here trying something new Nobody but you
Time was never your friend Now the hours fly by There’s a message that you send Won’t be living a lie
That’s a brave thing to try Brave thing to try Brave thing to try On the last weekend
That’s a brave thing to try Brave thing to try Brave thing to try On the last weekend

You never really say exactly what the character is trying, but it gives me the feeling that they are just kinda at a point where they have to do something different. Like it's their breaking point. But I could be completely off base. Maybe they are really just braver than everyone else. :)
Thank you for participating, and what a fantastic set of lyrics you've produced.... I'm sure there scope to provide further lyrics as background and to further develop the story.
Brilliant writing.
I like the repetition of the the lines in this, gives the lyrics a tempo all of their own and builds up the piece nicely. Good skirmishing!
I like the imagining about what it is the brave thing to be trying. And I really like how the bridge is a big contrast in form with the rest of the lyric.
