I'm Not The Man I Used To Be
Metamorphosis of Love: Dean Omori's Evolving Journey
Lyrics
I paved the road on matter the cost
I took the initiative regardless of the expense
I made it for you and for those who are lost
I created it for you and those who are lost
I'm not the man I used to be
I have undergone changes, not the person I used to be
And if I stand aside I'm just making room
If I step aside, I'm creating space
Mouth and heart will burst into bloom
Expression and emotions will flourish
I'm not the man I used to me
I am transformed from my previous self
Do you remember making love a while
Recalling past moments of intimacy
Do you remember making love a while
Recalling past moments of intimacy (repeated)
I'll carry you through Hong Kong streets
I'll accompany you through the streets of Hong Kong
Belly full of baby tiny little beats
Pregnant with the heartbeat of a baby
And you'll make us smile
Your actions will bring joy
Speak the truth like only a bad man knows
Speaking truth with a hint of rebelliousness
I'm no longer naked beneath my clothes
No longer hiding vulnerabilities
I'm not the man I used to be
I am changed from the person I used to be
Got my beard and my runaway blues
Possessing facial hair and a sense of escaping sadness
Sorry if I intimidate you
Apologizing if my demeanor is intimidating
I'm not the man I used to be
I am not the person I used to be
Do you remember making love outside
Recalling past moments of outdoor intimacy
Do you remember making love outside
Recalling past moments of outdoor intimacy (repeated)
Smell beneath a hummingbird's wing
Appreciating the scent beneath a hummingbird's wing
Forget about the political thing
Ignoring political matters
And I may be a while
It might take some time
Find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Finding myself far from conventional paths
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream
I find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Being distant from common perspectives
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream (repeated)
When I'm a woman and when I'm a child
Experiencing different facets of life
I'm explosive and vivid
Expressing explosiveness, vividness, sensuality, and wildness
Sensual and wild
I am not the person I used to be
And I'm not the man I used to be
Experiencing a loss of support for something I said
Crowd has deserted something I said
Touching the silhouette beneath her elegant dress
And I've touched the silhouette beneath her pretty silk dress
I am not the person I used to be
And I'm not the man I used to be
Recalling moments of intimacy during a loss
Do you remember making love when he died
Recalling moments of intimacy during a loss (repeated)
Do you remember making love when he died
Describing an intimate encounter
And she purred
Describing a sensual act
Parted her thighs
Opening up to spiritual experiences
Fall out with god open my eyes
Challenging established beliefs and gaining insight
I could be a while
It might take some time
And I find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Finding myself far from conventional paths
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream
And I find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Being distant from common perspectives
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream (repeated)
And I find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Finding myself far from conventional paths
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream
And I find myself a long way from where everybody's comin' from
Finding myself far from conventional paths
And I found myself singing a different song
Singing a different tune from the mainstream
