Why did you choose the songs?

This week my mother received the vaccine (1st dose) and about five days later she was coughing blood and rushed to the ER triage. Needless to say, it is C-19. Prayers are requested and are being received 24/7.

Missy's Cool Off has the beat and the lyrics to keep me focused and motivated regardless of the stairs, cold weather, heavy whatever, Do It and Cool Off when I get angry.

Linkin's Numb is what I have been stating since I was a teenager since they were my band during adolescence. Stop putting me down because you can't be me, I don't have a fear of being dependable, per my childhood PTSD dependability=security=love. Hell, I love and care for my child (as a mother), manage my income/debt sources, my health treatments, my mother's health, etc, and did it for another household with min help for two years and subpar for three.

Billie's PFH, says a ton it really does. There is so much falling upon us each day, be strong the blessings fall.

What mood were you in before/after the song? Upbeat after watching IASIP.

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

Cool Off:

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off (Stop)

Play this again, I'm finna win
Finna go off, finna go in

I'll make it drop, yeah, I'll make it bend
Cool off 'til I feel the wind
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Way too high to get over me
Way too low to get under my skin
All the DJ's gon' hit that spin
I'ma play this again and again and again (Stop)

Numb:

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Pennies From Heaven:

If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me

Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
How close together love and hate can be
Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
That's life I guess
