I Just Wasn't Made for These Times
Lyrics
I keep looking for a place to fit
I am searching for a place where I belong
Where I can speak my mind
A place where I can express my thoughts freely
I've been trying hard to find the people
I've been striving to find people I can form lasting connections with
That I won't leave behind
People I won't abandon or leave behind
They say I got brains
Although people acknowledge my intelligence
But they ain't doing me no good
My smarts aren't bringing me any benefit
I wish they could
Expressing a desire for understanding and recognition
Each time things start to happen again
Whenever positive things start happening
I think I got something good goin' for myself
I believe I have something good happening for me
But what goes wrong
However, something goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Expressing a feeling of deep sadness
Sometimes I feel very sad
Reiteration of intense sadness
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Struggling to find something to invest passion and commitment into
Sometimes I feel very sad
Repetition of the difficulty in finding meaningful pursuits
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Continued struggle to find purposeful engagement
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Feeling out of place and not suited for the current times
Every time I get the inspiration
Every time I feel inspired to make changes
To go change things around
No one is willing to assist in exploring new possibilities
No one wants to help me look for places
Difficulty finding support when seeking new opportunities
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn when friends abandon me during challenges
Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
Reflecting on the meaning and purpose of life
What's it all about
Pondering the significance of it all
Each time things start to happen again
Whenever positive things start happening again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
Believing that something good is happening for oneself
But what goes wrong
However, something goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Expressing a feeling of deep sadness
Sometimes I feel very sad
Reiteration of intense sadness
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Struggling to find something to invest passion and commitment into
Sometimes I feel very sad
Repetition of the difficulty in finding meaningful pursuits
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Continued struggle to find purposeful engagement
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Feeling out of place and not suited for the current times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Reiteration of feeling incompatible with the times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Repetition of feeling out of sync with the times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Continued sense of not fitting into the contemporary era
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Perceived unsuitability for the present times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Final expression of not being made for the current times
