An Ordinary Life
Embracing the Extraordinary: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Amy Macdonald's 'An Ordinary Life'
Lyrics
What makes you different from anyone in here
Questioning what sets the person apart from the crowd.
What makes you stand up from the crowd
Asking about the qualities that make the person unique or noticeable.
What makes your mother so proud of you
Wondering about the reasons for the person's mother's pride.
What makes us worship at your ground
Questioning the admiration and reverence for the person.
At night when you go to bed
Asking if certain thoughts cross the person's mind before sleep.
Do these thoughts run through your head
Exploring the introspective nature of the person before bedtime.
When you're lying there all alone
Reflecting on solitary moments during the night.
Do you think of us instead
Wondering if the person thinks about others when alone.
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
I want to be free
Desire for freedom and independence.
I don't car about the cameras
Indifference towards fame and public attention.
I don't care about the lights
Disregarding the glamour and spotlight.
All I wanted was an ordinary life
Expressing a longing for a simple, ordinary life.
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
Questioning the direction the music career will take.
I don't care the spotlight
Not caring about the fame and attention of the spotlight.
I don't care about the nights
Disregarding the glamorous Hollywood nights.
All I wanted was an ordinary life
Reiterating the desire for an ordinary, uncomplicated life.
What makes you happy
Asking about the factors that bring happiness to the person.
What makes you sad
Questioning the sources of the person's sadness.
Do paparazzi drive you mad
Asking if intrusive media bothers the person.
Do you miss your life back home
Questioning if the person misses their pre-fame life.
Were they the best days that you had
Reflecting on whether past days were the best for the person.
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future's location.
Where wil the music take me
Questioning the destination of the musical journey.
I don't care about the spotlight or the Hollywood nights
Not caring about fame or Hollywood nightlife.
All I wanted was an ordinary life
Reiterating the desire for a simple, ordinary life.
