Lyrics
I wanna walk with you in someone's shoes
I desire to understand your perspective by putting myself in your shoes.
From somebody else's point of view
Exploring life from another person's viewpoint.
It looks like I'm changing
Seems like there's a noticeable change happening.
I wanna be the star without the skies
Aspiring to be recognized and admired independently, without external factors.
We'll be running, running, running with the same old crowd
Continuing with the familiar crowd, maintaining the status quo.
And I'll be myself
Embracing authenticity and being true to oneself.
And I can't begin to tell you
Expressing difficulty in conveying a message or emotion.
He says, if there's money on your mind
Someone advises to focus on financial matters.
And the drugs don't work
A reference to the ineffectiveness of drugs.
As you'll be lying on your own
Implying that relying on substances can lead to isolation.
You won't know where you stand
Uncertainty about one's position or stance in a situation.
I'm a selfish man in a selfish world
Acknowledging self-centeredness in a world with similar tendencies.
There's a world we choose and a friend we lose
Choosing between a societal norm and losing a friend.
It looks like I'm changing
Reiterating the sense of transformation.
I've been told to sit down when I just stand up
Being advised to conform rather than stand out.
It wouldn't mean that much just to hear me say
Stressing the importance of being heard and understood.
That I've been myself
Reaffirming the commitment to authenticity.
I'm all of yourself
Embracing one's entirety, both strengths and flaws.
And I can't begin to tell you
Repetition of the challenge in expressing oneself.
He says, if there's money on your mind
Reiteration of the advice regarding financial concerns.
And the drugs don't work
Echoing the inefficacy of using drugs to cope.
As you'll be lying on your own
Warning about the potential isolation resulting from substance dependence.
You won't know where you stand
Reiterating the uncertainty about one's position or stance.
And I can't begin to tell you
Repeating the challenge in conveying a message or emotion.
He says, if there's money on your mind
Reiteration of the advice to focus on financial matters.
And the drugs don't work
Repeating the notion that drugs are not a solution.
As you'll be lying on your own
Emphasizing the potential consequences of relying on drugs.
You won't know where you stand
Restating the uncertainty about one's position or stance.
