Lyrics
I wanna know
I have a desire to understand or discover something.
While I'm driving on the ten
While I am driving on the road labeled "ten" (possibly a highway or route).
On the other side of town
Refers to a different part of the town, indicating a sense of separation or distance.
Am I lost inside my head
Questioning if the person is mentally lost or confused.
Yeah I keep thinking out loud
Expressing thoughts audibly, possibly revealing inner struggles or contemplation.
That it seems like
Introduction to a comparison, suggesting a feeling of being excluded.
I'm on the outside
Feeling like an outsider, disconnected from others.
The outside looking in
Being physically outside but also emotionally distant, observing from a distance.
And I wish I
Expressing a desire for something different or better.
Could be alright
Wishing to be okay without knowing everything, accepting uncertainty.
Not knowing anything
Expressing a conflicting desire to know despite the wish for ignorance.
But I wanna know where the whole world is going
Expressing a desire to understand the direction of the entire world.
Why is it sometimes it feels like it's slowing
Questioning the perception of time, feeling like it's slowing down at times.
Down 'til I find myself back in the moment
Reflecting on being present in the moment after a slowdown.
Here on the ground, here on the ground
Emphasizing the current reality and presence on the ground.
I wanna know who I'll be in the morning
Expressing curiosity about one's future self in the morning.
After a night on the roof in the pouring rain
Describing a challenging night on the roof in the rain.
Can I be someone that I've never been
Questioning the possibility of personal transformation.
Again, again
Expressing a desire for repeated personal growth.
I wanna know
Reiterating the strong desire to know.
I wanna know
-I wanna know
-Why we make money just to spend
Questioning the purpose of earning money if it's spent behind a screen.
All our time behind a screen
Reflecting on the extensive time spent using electronic devices.
When it's all just gonna end
Questioning the ultimate outcome of these screen activities.
Yeah I just wanna scream
Expressing frustration or the need to release pent-up emotions.
'Cause it seems like
Repetition of feeling like an outsider, still observing from a distance.
I'm on the outside
Reiterating the sense of being an outsider looking in.
The outside looking in
Continuing to wish for a state of well-being without full knowledge.
And I wish I
Expressing a desire for peace despite not knowing everything.
Could be alright
Repeating the wish for well-being without complete knowledge.
Not knowing anything
Reiterating the internal conflict between the desire to know and the wish for ignorance.
But I wanna know how to hit the fast forward
Expressing a desire to fast forward through difficult or painful moments.
Skip to the parts that don't hurt anymore yeah
Expressing a wish to skip past emotional pain.
I would rewrite all the years out of order
Desiring to reorder past experiences for better understanding.
Make it make sense, make it make sense
Wishing for coherence and meaning in life experiences.
I want control over all of the pieces
Expressing a desire for control over various aspects of life.
I used to hold 'cause I thought that I needed them
Reflecting on the misconception of needing certain elements for happiness.
To be here right now, but I'm here right now
Acknowledging the current presence in the moment despite past beliefs.
Anyway, anyway
Regardless, emphasizing the current state of being.
I wanna know (Oooh)
Repeating the strong desire to know.
I wanna know (Ooooh)
-I wanna know who's been asking these questions
Questioning the source of certain existential questions.
Running my thoughts and my feelings I guess it's
Recognizing the influence of thoughts and feelings by external factors.
One of those things that I'll never know
Acceptance of the uncertainty of certain aspects of life.
I know
Acknowledging the limits of knowledge and accepting the unknown.
