Lyrics
Did you just start feeling
Reflecting on a recent change in emotions or perception
Start feeling good again
Experiencing a return to positive emotions or well-being
Is it like someone just turned the color back on
Comparing the positive change to a vivid restoration of color
Did you need to get older
Contemplating whether aging contributed to the positive shift
Need to get further away from something
Considering distance as a factor in improving one's state
Or did you just need to take some time off
Questioning if a break or pause was necessary for improvement
Oooh babe don't tell me that's nothing
Expressing skepticism about the significance of the change
Short of miraculous
Describing the positive transformation as almost miraculous
That you got up
Acknowledging the effort to rise or recover
Something beautiful to say
Highlighting the importance of having something beautiful to express
Man I haven't lived enough
Feeling a lack of life experience
And I've got one more day or month or year
Contemplating the limited time to discover life's meaning
To find out what that means
Expressing a desire to explore and understand life
Yea I know it's not attractive
Acknowledging that the situation may not be appealing
And I wish I could stay distracted
Wishing to remain distracted and avoid vulnerability
And never let you see me get this bad again
Expressing vulnerability and a fear of being seen in a bad state
Oooh babe don't tell me that's nothing
Reiterating skepticism about the significance of the positive change
Did you just start seeing
Contemplating a newfound perception or understanding
Your own reflection
Noticing and appreciating one's own reflection
Did you just take your own stupid breath away
Being astonished by one's own actions or existence
Remember your body
Encouraging self-awareness and recognition of one's own body
Remember your agency to feel
Emphasizing the agency to feel and experience life
The wind on your skin with the lake crashing into
Describing the sensory experience of the wind and nature
The evening those lilacs you breathe and surrender
Recalling moments of surrendering to natural beauty
Fall into your own two arms fireworks car alarms
Immersing in personal experiences, both mundane and intense
Who says L.A. can't make you tender
Challenging the stereotype that Los Angeles lacks tenderness
Oooh babe don't tell me that's nothing
Reiterating skepticism about the significance of positive changes
