Sam and I went to the show in Petaluma last night and I couldn't believe it when they played Chalkline. This song means a lot to me for various reasons...the most obvious is that it's about empowering women to not be afraid to do things because they are women. Feeling safe as a woman is so important because it is so easy to not feel safe and secure.
"This song goes out to all the women in the crowd, our sisters, mothers, girlfriends, and daughters..."
I am lucky enough to have some of the most amazing women in my life these days...women that I respect, look up to, and strive to gain their respect in return. These women are strong, fearless and unapologetic. Hangin out and bein geeks is kinda what we do best, but I also know that these girls are part of my 'true believers', not afraid to speak their minds and make their opinion heard.
The things that bring us together are different for all of us, but those differences keep us together and keep us interesting.
Listen to the song if you get a chance...the acoustic version is amazing too...
STRIKE ANYWHERE LYRICS
"Chalkline"
We see the billboard girl
the one devoted to ritual
standing in the rain
holding all of her pain inside
I know you're hurting now
but I can't point my finger at
the words I should or shouldn't say
anything
to take the pain away
to walk alone on the streets tonight
and fear nothing
to choose to love what we are in this life
and shine brighter
don't let the crosses and dollar signs
the symbols of man unkind
make you feel
that you're not real
all this time walk out
out of the shadows
we see the lines in chalk
the warning sign for where we walk
in the shadows of the cities maze
to try and fight
for better days
yeah we're ungrateful
yeah we're ungrateful for
holy books, religious men
values of beauty, original sin
all this time we unwind it
i won't give up, i'm not afraid
Resister go
as long as it takes
to reverse the hypocrisy
challenge the stakes
of safety and survival
at the heart
of women's voices
women's art
to walk alone on the streets tonight
and fear nothing
to choose to love what we are in this life
all that matters
don't let the crosses and dollar signs
the symbols of man unkind . . .
I won't give up
through all this time walk out
out of the shadows
if we take
our strength
to market
to trade
for their
ugly
beauty
watch us
grow up
to war
no more
