Rollercoaster
Navigating Uncertainty: A Rollercoaster of Self-Discovery in Chris Lanzon's Melody
Lyrics
Verse 1
Expresses a persistent sensation or emotion
I can’t seem to shake this feeling, footsteps in the wall
Suggests a sense of someone or something moving or approaching, possibly symbolizing an impending change or development
Waiting for the speed to kick in, rollercoaster fall
Anticipation for acceleration or intensification, likened to the experience of a rollercoaster ride
Chorus
Refrain expressing uncertainty and self-doubt
Is it my fault that I don’t know where I’m going?
Questioning self-blame for not having a clear direction in life
Taking the long way ‘round
Choosing a non-conventional or indirect path
And I’ll get gone, but I’m not sure where I’m going
Departure without a definite destination
Maybe I won’t find out
Accepting the possibility of never discovering a destination or purpose
Verse 2
Seeking new experiences or perspectives
Pick me up to see the ocean
Metaphorically aiming to see beyond the usual limitations
The only place it stops
Symbolizes a pause or halt
Sandy soles and empty pockets
Being in a state of simplicity or lack, possibly financially
I’d like to get off
Desire to break away from the current situation
Chorus
Repeats the refrain indicating uncertainty and confusion
Is it my fault that I don’t know where I’m going?
Continued questioning of self-blame for lack of direction
Taking the long way ‘round
Choosing a non-traditional or indirect route once more
And I’ll get gone, but I’m not sure where I’m going
Departure without a specific endpoint
Maybe I won’t find out
Resigned acceptance of potential eternal uncertainty
Bridge
Expresses aspirations for personal growth and significance
I wanna be great, I wanna be something bigger than myself
Desire to achieve something greater than individual capacity
I wanna be great, I wanna be somewhere different
Wish to be in a different situation or environment
But I don’t know how
Confusion or uncertainty about the means to achieve desires
Outro
Recurrence of uncertainty about direction and purpose
Is it my fault that I don’t know where I’m going?
Reiteration of questioning self-blame for lack of clarity
Taking the long way ‘round
Choosing a circuitous or uncertain path yet again
And I’ll get gone, but I’m not sure where I’m going
Leaving without a defined destination
Maybe I won’t find out
Acceptance of the potential permanence of uncertainty
