There You Are
Discovering Inner Peace: Unveiling the Wisdom in Brandon Jenner's 'There You Are'
Lyrics
a proud man doesn’t hear you
A proud man is not attentive to you; he prioritizes his own feelings.
it only matters how he feels
What matters to him is how he personally feels about a situation.
a used man don’t have much to say
A man who has been used or hurt doesn't express much; he may be emotionally withdrawn.
tires gone he’s riding rough on wheels
If someone is worn out (tires gone), they may navigate life with difficulty and hardship.
neither knows what peace feels like
Neither of them knows the feeling of peace, and they are in pursuit of something just out of reach.
chasing what is right around the bend
Pursuing what is morally right or just around the corner.
chalk it up to “well, that’s life.”
Accepting life's challenges with the perspective of "that's life."
happiness hiding in the wind
Happiness is elusive, like something hiding in the wind.
the ground is cracking under all of us
The foundation is breaking beneath everyone.
the river stopping short of home
The river, symbolic of life's journey, is not reaching its intended destination.
time has got us chasing our own tails
Time is causing people to chase their own tails, perhaps in futile pursuits.
we run around in circles on our own
We are stuck in repetitive, circular patterns on our own.
close your eyes and hear your mind
Encouragement to close one's eyes, quiet the mind, and experience transcendence.
let yourself be still and you’ll transcend
Finding stillness within oneself leads to transcendence.
those little thoughts are the biggest lies
Small, negative thoughts are significant lies that can mislead.
a con man disguised as your best friend
Someone pretending to be your best friend might actually be a deceitful con man.
those age old lines in the mirror
Reflection on the aging process and the visibility of scars.
them scars have never been so bold
Scars, despite their visibility, have never been so prominent or impactful.
but beauty in the eye of another
Beauty is subjective and depends on the perception of others, but it remains emotionally distant or unresponsive.
is forever cold
The perceived beauty is enduringly cold.
slow your horses down
Advice to slow down and be more deliberate in actions or decisions.
wherever you go, there you are
A philosophical reflection that wherever you go, your essential self remains unchanged.
lay your body down
An invitation to rest and relax, acknowledging one's current state of knowledge or awareness.
whatever you know, that’s who you are
Your identity is defined by what you know and understand.
