Lyrics
I can never say I'm truly free
I cannot claim true freedom
If I keep replacing I with we
Continuously substituting "I" with "we" hinders true freedom
Cause no one cares as much as me
No one cares as deeply as the speaker
No one cares for me but me
No external care exists; self-reliance is essential
I thought I finally figured out this game
Despite previous understanding, the speaker finds themselves back in a familiar, undesirable situation
To be right back here
Expressing disappointment in the recurrence of the situation
Oh what a shame
Reflecting on the unfortunate circumstances
And sure as every lover bleeds
Asserting that every lover experiences pain
No one cares for me but me
Reiterating the theme of self-reliance
I am getting closer all the time (Oh-oh-oh)
Emphasizing continuous personal growth
Running out of days to get it right (Oh-oh-oh)
Running out of time to make things right
I can't believe I've wasted all my life
Regret over the perceived wasted life
Chasing after something I was never meant to find
Pursuing something not meant to be found
We've been flying high on borrowed wings
Metaphorically flying high but relying on borrowed achievements
That abandoned self reliant springs
Dependence on past self-reliance that has been abandoned
I know with no uncertainty
Expressing certainty that self-care is the only certainty
That no one cares for me but me
Reiterating the theme that no one cares for the speaker but themselves
And I am feeling older all the time
Acknowledging the aging process
Running out of days to get it right
Sense of urgency in running out of time to correct mistakes
I can't believe I've wasted all my life
Regret over wasted time
Chasing after something I was never meant to find
Continuing the theme of pursuing the wrong goals
I'm on the outside looking in
Feeling like an outsider
Again
Repeating the experience of being on the outside looking in
I though perfection came from practicing
Previous belief that perfection comes from practice
Yet the closer I get the further I feel
Paradox of feeling more distant despite getting closer
Yeah
Expressing frustration
Oh why should I even bother then?
Questioning the value of continuing efforts
And I control the things I'll be
Asserting control over one's destiny
No one cares for me but me
Reiteration of self-reliance
And I am feeling older all the time
Reiterating the aging process and the urgency to make things right
Running out of days get it right
Running out of time emphasizes the need for immediate change
I can't believe I've wasted all my life
Regret over a life perceived as wasted
Chasing after something I was never meant to find
Continuing the theme of pursuing the wrong objectives
And I am getting closer all the time
Emphasizing ongoing personal growth
And I am getting older all the time
Reflecting on the inevitable aging process
And I am getting older all the time
Reiteration of the unstoppable aging process
