"Sit Wit It" - A Belter's Guide to Grief (The Expanse Universe)
Written in Belter Creole, this gentle meditation offers wisdom about processing pain and loss in the unforgiving environment of space. Using the metaphors of zero-g, solar storms, and ice formation, the song advocates for a profound truth: sometimes the strongest thing a Belter can do is simply sit with their pain rather than trying to fight it.
The lyrics weave space-born imagery with emotional insight, comparing unprocessed grief to debris floating in vacuum and emotional wounds to hull breaches that can't be hastily patched. It's a reminder that in a culture often defined by its toughness, there's no shame in going slow, in feeling low, in letting pain take its natural course.
This isn't just a song about grief - it's a tender reminder of how Belter wisdom about survival in space applies equally to surviving life's emotional challenges, offering a uniquely space-born perspective on mental health and healing.
[Verse 1]
When dat pain come calling deep
Na try to run, na try to leap
Just let it settle in ya bones
Like zero-g, like space unknown
Some say fight it, push it down
Till ya feelings try to drown
But beratna, hear me now
Sit wit it, dat's de how
[Chorus]
Sit wit it
Let de sadness be
Sit wit it
Like stars in endless sea
Na shame in feeling low
Na shame in going slow
Just sit wit it
And let ya spirit flow
[Verse 2]
Ya lost another to de void?
Ya feeling empty, feeling toyed?
Don't rush to patch dat hole inside
Like broken hull in station side
Some wounds need time to show dey face
Like debris floating slow in space
So when dat darkness touch ya heart
Sit wit it, dat's de start
[Bridge]
Every Belter know dis truth
Pain gonna find its own smooth
Can't rush de healing like de air
Can't force de heart to skip its share
Of moments when we need to float
In feeling dat would sink a boat
Together in dis quiet space
We hold each other's grace
[Verse 3]
Dem say Beltalowda must be strong
But strength sometimes mean going long
Through every shadow, every fear
Until de pathway become clear
Like waiting out a solar storm
Or watching ice take natural form
Some tings just need their proper time
While you sit still and find
[Chorus]
Sit wit it
Let de sadness be
Sit wit it
Like stars in endless sea
Na shame in feeling low
Na shame in going slow
Just sit wit it
And let ya spirit flow
[Outro]
So when dat weight come press ya down
When smile turn to worried frown
Remember what de void has taught:
Some battles never need be fought
Just sit wit it and breathe de air
Let time and space dey take their share
Of healing what been hurt so long
Till weak become da strong
