Try to Be
Embracing Authenticity: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Blue Hawaii's "Try to Be
Lyrics
I watch as my big dreams walk behind me
I observe my ambitious aspirations trailing behind me.
They trick, they scheme, they tease
They deceive, plot, and playfully provoke.
Felt like as a young girl
As a young girl, it felt like I barely understood what I wanted to become.
I barely knew exactly what I wanna be
Uncertain of the exact path I wanted to follow.
What I wanna be, what I wanna be, what I wanna be
Repetition emphasizes the uncertainty and exploration of personal aspirations.
And as the real world comes to its feet
The real world acknowledges my presence.
To shake my hand, to greet with calmness and eloquence
It greets me with composure and elegance.
Never tire 'til I'm in distress
Never giving up until I face adversity.
What I'm supposed to be, what I try to be
Reflecting on what I'm meant to be, attempting to embody it.
What I thought I'd be, what I'll never be
Comparing what I envisioned, what I strive for, and what I can never achieve.
May as well just be me
Choosing authenticity and being true to oneself.
May as well just be me
Reaffirmation of the decision to be genuine.
May as well just be me
Continued emphasis on embracing one's true self.
May as well just be me
Repetition reinforces the importance of authenticity.
All I wanted
Expressing a desire to be needed.
Was a need to be wanted
Yearning for acceptance and validation.
The thoughts refined into the night
Thoughts refined and contemplated during the night.
My mind prepares for flight (not forgotten)
Mentally preparing for a journey, not forgetting the past.
With fearlessness and confidence
Approaching life with courage and self-assurance.
I dream myself above the rest
Visualizing oneself as superior to others.
I'm not supposed to be what I shouldn't be
Rejecting societal expectations and being true to oneself.
What I couldn't be, when we try to be
Reflecting on what one couldn't become when attempting to conform.
May as well just be me
Reiteration of the importance of being genuine.
May as well just be me
Emphasizing the decision to stay true to oneself.
May as well just be me
Continued affirmation of embracing authenticity.
May as well just be me
Repetition to reinforce the commitment to be genuine.
May as well just be me
