Already in Me
Embracing Shadows: Anka Wolbert's Poetic Reflection on Life's Paradoxes
Lyrics
I chew on it I chew on it
The repetition of "chew on it" suggests a continuous contemplation or reflection on past experiences.
the useless kisses, the useless trips, the useless kicks
References to experiences (kisses, trips, kicks) that seem futile or without purpose.
the way the morning sun dances over your skin
An appreciation of the beauty of morning sunlight on someone's skin.
My window is a movie screen- movies I'm not in
Feeling disconnected from the events depicted outside ("movies I'm not in") seen through a window.
I'm taking it all in, I'm taking it all in
An absorption of various aspects of life, including harsh realities.
the poverty, the filthy streets, the child that falls and screams
Observation of poverty, unclean streets, and distressing situations.
the junkie with his hungry eyes on the corner of my street
Witnessing someone in need, like a drug addict, with a poignant gaze.
It's already in me, its already in me
An acknowledgment that these experiences are already within, part of the observer's being.
It's already in me (3x)
Reiteration of the recognition that these experiences are ingrained within.
Once upon a time there was an emptiness
Reflection on past emptiness or void within one's life.
Once there was Atlantis
A metaphorical reference to a lost or mythical place, Atlantis, suggesting something lost or unattainable.
Sometimes I feel things I cannot see
Occasional perception or intuition of things beyond the visible spectrum.
sometimes I can feel you cry
Empathy toward someone's emotional pain, feeling it without direct evidence.
sometimes I see things I can't explain
Encountering inexplicable visions or occurrences.
sometimes I feel pain which isn't mine
Sensing pain that isn't personally experienced, perhaps an empathetic response to others' suffering.
It's already in me, it's already in me
Reiteration of the integration of these experiences into the observer's being.
It's already in me and it feels like my head explodes
Intense feelings arising from the assimilation of these experiences, causing inner turmoil.
It's already in me, it's already in me
Reaffirmation that these experiences are part of the observer's existence.
It's already in me
Emphasizing the presence and impact of these experiences within.
You tell by the colour of this sky I must leave
A suggestion that external signs, like the sky's color, indicate the need for departure or change.
I must leave, I must cross the sea
Feeling compelled to leave or embark on a journey, perhaps to escape or seek something new.
this sea of hungry eyes, these hungry eyes
Describing the environment as filled with desperate, longing gazes.
Can you hear me?
A plea for connection or acknowledgment of the observer's presence.
Can you hear help me?
A request for assistance or support, a cry for help.
It's already in me (10x)
