Something Else
Discovering Life's Unseen Depths Through Andrew Bryant's 'Something Else'
Lyrics
On a day I was alone
Reflecting on a day of solitude
I was walking down the street
Walking through a street
In the valley of the shadow of death
In a challenging or perilous situation
And I saw a girl
Encountering a girl
She was watering her flowers
Observing her tending to her flowers
Drinking beer and smoking her last cigarette
Engaging in vices like drinking and smoking
And as we talked I knew she was something else
Realizing the girl is unique or extraordinary
Something that this place couldn't understand
Recognizing her as something beyond the norm
And as we talked I knew she was something else
Acknowledging her exceptional nature
Something that I wanted for myself
Expressing a desire to possess her qualities
On a dark rundown street
In a dim, neglected part of town
I wrestled with my god
Engaging in a struggle with personal beliefs or principles
He was sitting at a table in the trees
Depicting a spiritual encounter in nature
He asked if I knew his name
Being questioned about knowledge of a divine entity
I said a name is just a name
Dismissing the importance of a name
And a name it doesn't make you what you are
Highlighting that a name doesn't define one's essence
And as we talked I knew he was something else
Realizing the divine being is extraordinary
Something that this place couldn't understand
Understanding the divine being surpasses conventional understanding
And as we talked I knew he was something else
Acknowledging a desire to possess divine qualities
Something that I wanted for myself
Expressing a personal longing for those divine attributes
Sometimes you see the life
Occasionally realizing the life one didn't know was missing
You never knew you didn't have
Discovering the unseen aspects of life
Sometimes you never see the good
Missing the good amid the focus on the bad
For only seeing the bad
Finding it challenging to see positive aspects
And sometimes you see what no one sees
Gaining insight others may miss through honesty
When you're honest with yourself
Realizing that life can be different when honest with oneself
Sometimes you see that life is something else
Recognizing the profound nature of life
Life is something else
Affirming that life is extraordinary
Life is something else
Reiterating the uniqueness and special quality of life
