Coming Around
Transforming Dreams: Embracing Change in Christopher Dallman's 'Coming Around'
Lyrics
I’m changing the way that I do business
I am changing my approach to doing things
I’m closing up shop
I am closing down my business
I woke up on a question
I woke up with a fundamental question about my life
‘Is this my life or not?’
Reflecting on whether the current life is truly mine
I’ve cooked the books so long
I manipulated records for a while to feel like I was making an effort
To feel like I was giving it a shot
Creating a facade of effort to give life a chance
But I’m not
Realizing that it was not a genuine effort
I’m not
Acknowledging the lack of genuine effort
I don’t know how it got to where
Unsure how things reached the current state
I sleepwalk through every day
Feeling like I'm just going through the motions in life
My pen don’t move
Experiencing a creative block, unable to write
My guitar never seems to want to play
Struggling with a lack of inspiration for music
9-5 I’m half alive
Working a typical job but only feeling partially alive
How long have I been this way?
Questioning how long I have been in this state
Keeping my
Maintaining emotional control
pulse at bay
Keeping my heartbeat steady
The trick is how you choose to see it
Emphasizing the importance of perspective
It’s coming around, it’s coming around
Positive change is approaching
If I can dream it, I can be it
Believing in the possibility of achieving dreams
It’s coming around, it’s coming around
Anticipating positive change
On the horizon
Referring to a positive change on the horizon
This kid is wising up
Expressing personal growth and awareness
Can you tell me brother
Seeking guidance from a brother
Can you help me understand
Asking for help in understanding a heavy burden of a dream
How a dream can grow so heavy
Questioning how dreams can become overwhelming
It nearly breaks a man?
Acknowledging the weight that almost breaks a person
My baby says to hold on
Receiving encouragement from a loved one
As long as I can
Advising to hold on as long as possible
With a strong, strong hand
Emphasizing the importance of strength
The trick is how you choose to see it
Reiterating the significance of perspective
It’s coming around, it’s coming around
Positive change is approaching
If I can dream it, I can be it
Believing in the possibility of achieving dreams
It’s coming around, it’s coming around
Anticipating positive change
On the horizon
Referring to a positive change on the horizon
This kid is wising up
Expressing personal growth and awareness
