Trauma
THE JUANS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having my bad dreams in most nights
The pain I′ve felt when I was a child
Hoping to wake up where everything's fine, oh-oh, oh-oh
Now I′m a grown up with this fear inside, oh-oh, oh-oh
It's my trauma
The things that I can't even tell my mama
My trauma, trauma
It′s my trauma
The past I wanna get over with my papa
And I hope the nightmare ends with
All the drama, drama, drama
All my trauma, trauma, trauma
I saw my therapist last time
She said I′m gonna be alright
It sounds difficult but I'll try
To leave all my baggages I carried inside (oh-oh, oh-oh)
′Cause I wanna grow old with nothing to hide (oh-oh, oh-oh, na-na-na)
It's my trauma
The things that I can′t even tell my mama
Feels nobody in the world can understand
My trauma, trauma
It's my trauma
The past I wanna get over with my papa
And I hope the nightmare ends with
All the drama, drama, drama
All my trauma, trauma, trauma
Trauma, trauma, trauma
Oh, I wanna, I wanna be better off despite the trauma
And to live a life where I am free from
All my trauma, trauma, all my trauma, trauma, trauma

I still remember what it feels like
I have a vivid recollection of the emotions and sensations
Having my bad dreams in most nights
Experiencing unsettling nightmares on a regular basis
The pain I've felt when I was a child
The intense anguish I experienced during my early years
Hoping to wake up where everything's fine, oh-oh, oh-oh
Longing to awaken in a world where all is well
Now I'm a grown up with this fear inside, oh-oh, oh-oh
As an adult, I carry this fear within me
It's my trauma
This is my deep-seated psychological wound
The things that I can't even tell my mama
The experiences that I am unable to confide in my mother
Seems nobody in the world can understand
It appears that no one in the world comprehends
My trauma, trauma
This lingering trauma that haunts me
The past I wanna get over with my papa
The history I wish to overcome with my father
And I hope the nightmare ends with
I aspire for the end of this recurring nightmare
All the drama, drama, drama
All the turmoil and conflict surrounding it
I saw my therapist last time
During my previous session with my therapist
She said I'm gonna be alright
She assured me that I will be fine
It sounds difficult but I'll try
Although challenging, I will attempt
To leave all my baggages I carried inside (oh-oh, oh-oh)
To rid myself of the burdens I have carried internally
'Cause I wanna grow old with nothing to hide (oh-oh, oh-oh, na-na-na)
Because I desire to age without any concealed truths
Oh, I wanna, I wanna be better off despite the trauma
Oh, I yearn to experience improvement regardless of the trauma
And to live a life where I am free from
And to lead a life devoid of
All my trauma, trauma, all my trauma, trauma, trauma
All of my trauma that weighs on me

To everyone who is still haunted by their traumas. I know getting over the pain and feeling safe again will take a while.
But I am praying na whatever your silent battles are, wag kang susuko dahil Healing and freedom are possible through our Creator.
Always seek Professional help and surround yourself with trusted na tao.

Hope one day you will feel safe again. PADAYON!
Di ka nag-iisa!

Thank you @TheJuans for this beautiful song of hope. It is a powerful reminder that even in the depths of trauma, freedom is possible through HIM. May we all be encouraged to pay it forward by asking for forgiveness from those we have hurt, and by offering forgiveness to those who have hurt us.

Trauma hits every bits of my core. Thank you, The Juans you did it again, creating beautiful song that touches everyone who listens to it and please continue making songs because you songs are great and it inspire people.
To all those people who were struggling, in process of healing, and being free from trauma. You did well. For those who suffered and fighting battle in silence, everything will be better. Pray coz God is bigger than our battle and traumas. This lyrics hits to my core. "Now I'm grown up with this pain inside that's it my trauma." Why? Why the pain took long enough to go away? Sending virtual hugs to everyone.
