Lyrics
These days it doesn't matter, I can let myself go
Expressing a sense of freedom or detachment from societal expectations.
No disguise, just go for a stroll
Choosing not to hide behind a facade and embracing authenticity.
It's back to anonymous
Returning to a state of anonymity or privacy.
But those years were one big blur
Reflecting on a period of time that is hazy or unclear in memory.
I'm not sure where I have been
Feeling disoriented and uncertain about past experiences.
I dream of pieces back now and then
Nostalgically recalling fragments of memories.
Is it cliche? Does it sound so ungrateful
Questioning if expressing dissatisfaction or ingratitude is cliché.
When it comes out that way?
Considering the possibility of sounding ungrateful when expressing feelings.
If so, I only mean to say
Expressing gratitude for the unconventional or chaotic moments.
Thank you for those crazy days
Acknowledging the significance of the tumultuous experiences.
But it's back to anonymous
Returning to a state of anonymity after acknowledging past experiences.
Strangers, creepy and comfortable that they knew my name
Encountering both strange and familiar individuals who recognize the speaker.
It's not at all what I thought that fame would be
Realizing that fame doesn't align with preconceived notions.
It was just a small world for a while
Describing a period when the world felt small due to fame.
Is life better now?
Pondering whether life has improved since the fame subsided.
Well, that depends on how I'm feeling about it
Life's quality is subjective, depending on the speaker's current feelings.
It's not so much that I wanted out
Clarifying that the desire to return to anonymity wasn't fueled by discontent.
I really didn't have a say
Expressing a lack of control over the decision to step away from fame.
But it's a big world
Highlighting the vastness of the world with deserving individuals outside the spotlight.
With un-famous people who deserve the grand applause
Acknowledging the existence of talented but unknown people.
And they quietly carry on
Commending those who quietly pursue their passions without fame.
I'd like to think that I could be that strong
Expressing admiration for the strength of un-famous individuals.
Daydreaming on the bus, that's all
Daydreaming about a simpler life, symbolized by bus rides.
Now it's back to anonymous
Reiterating the return to a state of anonymity.
The wife and I feeding the birds, in love, in comfortable clothes
Describing domestic, ordinary moments with a loved one.
The neighbors, they don't wink like they know
Observing that neighbors no longer recognize the speaker's fame.
Back when they'd say, savor this moment
Recalling advice to cherish significant moments during the fame period.
It's your time, seize the day
Acknowledging the speaker's inability to fully appreciate those moments.
But I couldn't stay awake
Struggling to stay present and awake during the fame-filled period.
And I didn't feel a thing
Feeling numb or disconnected during the height of fame.
And she reminds me when I start to think
Being reminded by a partner when considering a return to fame.
I might throw my hat back in the ring
Contemplating a return to fame but uncertain about the decision.
But it's time to be
Acknowledging that it's time to embrace anonymity once again.
