Movin' In
Finding Identity Amidst Rainy Nights: Benjamin Michael's Journey
Lyrics
Wandering tossing stones
Expressing aimless wandering, possibly feeling lost or directionless.
And I feel like I'm alone in this empty home
Sense of isolation in an empty home, feeling alone and disconnected.
I don't know what to say
Expressing a difficulty in finding the right words to communicate.
If I said it no one listens to me
Frustration at not being heard when speaking.
Wandering tossing stones
Reiteration of aimless wandering and loneliness.
And I feel like I'm alone in this empty home
Repeating the feeling of isolation in an empty home.
I don't know what to say
Continuing difficulty in finding the right words, echoing loneliness.
If I said it no one listens to me anyway
Frustration at a perceived lack of audience for one's words.
They said to me Ben, do this
Others advising the speaker to take certain actions (Ben, do this).
They said to me Ben, cool it
Additional advice to the speaker to remain calm or composed.
Now, now that I'm movin' in
Expressing a transition or change with the mention of "movin' in."
I wanna know
A desire for understanding or self-discovery after the transition.
Where else could i go ohhh
Pondering other possible places to be or paths to take.
Now, now that I'm movin' in
Reiteration of the theme of moving in, seeking to know one's surroundings.
You've got to tell me
Asking for information about the people the speaker will be living with.
Who I am livin' with ohhh
Continuing the inquiry into the identity of the speaker's cohabitants.
Wandering tossing stones
Repeating the theme of aimless wandering and loneliness.
And I feel like I'm alone in this empty home
Reiterating a sense of isolation in an empty home.
I don't know what to say
Repeating the struggle to express oneself and be heard.
If I said it no one listens to me
Frustration at a perceived lack of attention to the speaker's words.
Wondering what do I do
Expressing uncertainty about what actions to take.
Wondering if anybody's gonna let me in
Questioning if anyone will accept or welcome the speaker.
I got gold in my sights
Mentioning a goal or ambition, seeing success in the distance.
But all I see is long long rainy nights
Contrasting the goal with the reality of long, challenging nights.
They said to me Ben, do this
Recalling previous advice to take certain actions.
They said to me Ben, cool it
Reiterating advice to remain calm or composed.
They took guns to my head and said
Describing a threatening situation with the mention of guns.
You have until five
Imposing a deadline or ultimatum in a high-stakes situation.
They made sure while on this Earth
Ensuring a lack of meaningful experiences during the speaker's time on Earth.
I did not feel no life
Repeating a lack of meaningful experiences in life.
I did not feel no life
Repeating the lack of meaningful experiences in life.
Now, now that I'm movin' in
Returning to the theme of transition or change with "movin' in."
I wanna know
Reiterating a desire for understanding or self-discovery post-transition.
Where else could i go ohhh
Pondering alternative places or paths after the transition.
Now, now that I'm movin' in
Repeating the theme of moving in, seeking knowledge of surroundings.
You've got to tell me
Asking for information about the people the speaker will be living with.
Who I am livin' with ohhh
Continuing the inquiry into the identity of the speaker's cohabitants.
