Paper Planes
Navigating Change: Divergent Growth in a Familiar Town
Lyrics
Do the views stay the same, same as the ones that I know
Questioning if perspectives remain consistent, comparing them to familiar ones
Somehow they've changed for me, they don't feel like my own
Expressing a sense of personal change, feeling disconnected from previously known views
In this town I feel lost, not a place I call home
Feeling lost in the current location, not considering it a true home
Forgot what it's like to be, to be where I was grown
Forgetting the experience of being in the place where one was raised
But I know we've both grown differently
Acknowledging personal growth but recognizing divergence in growth between two individuals
And I know that those thoughts are tales in my mind, tales in my head
Acknowledging that certain thoughts are mere illusions or stories in the mind
Paper planes around my head, paper planes, you don't get me yet
Using "paper planes" metaphorically to represent scattered thoughts or ideas
Paper planes, go back to bed, back to bed
Encouraging the thoughts (paper planes) to rest or be put aside
When I walk with you, I lose my head
Expressing a feeling of losing control or clarity when in the company of someone
Deep down my mind is bursting, I want to shout instead
Desire to express oneself passionately, contrasting with the suppression of shouting
I've been told that I'm grown, lots of times that makes me cold
Receiving comments about maturity, which may lead to emotional detachment
I feel so much older than I'd like, than I'd like it to be
Feeling emotionally older than preferred, suggesting a desire for youthfulness
But I know we've both grown differently
Reiterating the theme of individual growth and divergence in perspectives
And I know that those thoughts are tales in my mind, tales in my head
Acknowledging the illusory nature of certain thoughts persisting in the mind
Paper planes around my head, paper planes, you don't get me yet
Continuing the metaphor of "paper planes," emphasizing lack of understanding
Paper planes, go back to bed, back to bed
Suggesting a desire for the distracting thoughts to be set aside or ignored
Paper planes around my head, paper planes, you don't get me yet
Repeating the theme of misunderstood thoughts represented by "paper planes"
Paper planes, go back to bed, back to bed
Reiterating the desire for the distracting thoughts to be dismissed or ignored
