Second Nature
Embracing Life's Journey
Lyrics
I use to think that I was lonely
I used to believe I was isolated or without companionship
When I was a young boy
During my childhood
Doing what they told me
Following the instructions given to me
(Living rather coldly)
Living in a detached or emotionally distant manner
Too many lessons in the school class
Received numerous lessons in the school setting
Stated my allegiance
Declared my loyalty
Mixing with the wrong class
Associating with the wrong social group
I lived at home with all my family
I resided at home with my entire family
Even had my own key
Even had my own house key, a symbol of independence
It was given to me
The key was given to me
(Parents listened to me)
My parents paid attention to what I said
Allowed to be alone
Allowed to be by myself
(Then left me alone)
Then left alone
There was never any friction
No conflicts or tension ever arose
Starring in my own film
Playing the lead role in my own life
(A starring role in my film)
A prominent role in the movie of my life
It was my addiction
This became my addiction
(It was science fiction)
Characterized by elements of science fiction
You don't have to wait
No need to delay
The world will carry on
The world will continue its course
It's there in your face
It's evident right in front of you
But it won't stay for long
But its presence is transient
Let's be a nation
Let's form a collective identity
And sit upon a throne
And occupy a position of power
Don't ever hesitate
Never hesitate
Just carry on
Just keep going
The older boys were rather surly
Older boys around me were often unfriendly
Living in the wrong place
Living in an unsuitable location
Made me grow up early
Forced me to mature early
But it was my home
Yet, it was still my home
As I complete my own existence
As I shape and define my own existence
Staring at my own life
Examining my life closely
(I look at the old one)
Looking back at the previous one
Fading in the distance
Receding into the distance
Down a semitone
Lowering by a semitone, possibly symbolizing a change
Smiling faces of the neighbors
Smiles on the faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Proud of their achievements
Unemployed forever watch TV at home
Permanently unemployed individuals watching TV at home
You don't have to wait
No need to delay
The world will carry on
The world will continue its course
It's there in your face
It's evident right in front of you
But it won't stay for long
But its presence is transient
Let's be a nation
Let's form a collective identity
And sit upon a throne
And occupy a position of power
Don't ever hesitate
Never hesitate
Just carry on
Just keep going
