Seems So Strange
Embracing Life's Strange Symphony
Lyrics
I'll break it down for you exactly how I saw it happen
I will explain exactly how I witnessed the events
I wrote it all down and it's scribbled here right on this napkin
I documented the details on this napkin
About the time when I blinked my eyes
Refers to a moment when the narrator blinked
And watched the world just pass me by
The world passed by during that blink
Give me your time
Request for time
Give me your freedom
Request for freedom
Keep your health
Suggests keeping one's health
Your gonna need 'em
Emphasizes the importance of health
I won't be stiff in the hips until I'm pushing 66 or 64
Expresses a nonchalant attitude about aging
Aw hell, What's it matter anymore
Questioning the significance of it all
As I'm waiting on something new
Anticipation for something new
My decisions are made for you
Indicating decisions made on behalf of someone else
Just tried to embrace the rain
Attempt to accept challenges positively
The western world it seems so strange
Observation that the western world is perplexing
Big dog standing on the coast
Repeated imagery of a big dog overlooking the coast, questioning its awareness
Looking out like reality is closed
-I wonder if he knew
-I wonder if he knew
-Big dog standing on the coast
-looking out like reality is closed
-I wonder if he knew
-I wonder if he knew
-I won't just sell my body out
Refusal to compromise personal integrity
I won't just sell my body out
-Like I don't need it
-As if I don't understand
-That I won't be stiff in the hips until I'm pushing 66 or 64
Reiteration of a carefree attitude towards aging
Aw hell What's it matter anymore
Reiterating the insignificance of it all
Waiting on something new
Continuation of anticipation for something new
My decisions are made for you
Highlighting decisions made for someone else
Just tried to embrace the rain
Revisiting the attempt to embrace challenges positively
The western world it seems so strange
Reiteration of the strangeness of the western world
Chalk it to lessons learned
Reflecting on learned lessons and the world's apparent pause
In the middle of a slow burn
-I don't think it's my concern
-But the world it just stopped to turn
-Take my breathe and lungs
Mentions of taking experiences and applying them to life
When these sunny days are closed
-Take my lessons learned
-To the weekdays camera roll
-Waiting on something new
Repetition of themes: waiting for something new, decisions made for you, and embracing challenges
Hate when decisions are made for you
-Waiting on something new
-My decisions are made for you
-Just tried to embrace the rain
-The western world it seems so strange
-Chalk it to lessons learned
Reiteration of lessons learned and questioning personal concern in a changing world
in the middle of a slow burn
-I don't think it's my concern
-but the world it just stopped to turn
