This Time Around
Discovering Light in Shadows: Filippa Borgman's Journey in 'This Time Around'
Lyrics
Happy to be here, glad to be around
Expressing contentment and happiness about the current situation or circumstances.
I don't know this place or this part of town
Feeling unfamiliar with the location or the specific part of town.
I don't get out much, in the open air
Not engaging in outdoor activities frequently.
I don't see much people, pretty much don't care
Having minimal interaction with people and displaying a lack of concern about it.
Putting on a smile, walking out the door
Putting on a facade of happiness while heading out, despite personal limitations.
Hope it is enough, I don't have much more
Expressing hope that the presented demeanor is sufficient, despite personal challenges.
I don't get out much, I don't see the sun
Highlighting a limited exposure to the outdoors and a lack of sunlight.
Baby steps forward, barely getting on
Describing a slow and cautious progress in moving forward.
But I'll have a look around
Expressing a willingness to explore and observe the surroundings.
Maybe I'll find something this time
Hopeful anticipation of discovering something valuable or meaningful this time.
I'll have a look around
Reiterating the intention to explore and discover something positive.
Maybe it'll grow on me this time
Optimistic about the possibility of developing a liking for the current situation.
This time around
Emphasizing the present attempt or experience.
Look at you, staring at me
Acknowledging the attention or gaze of others.
Look at myself, wonder what you see
Reflecting on self-perception and wondering about how others perceive the speaker.
I am a stranger, doing something strange
Describing oneself as a stranger engaging in unusual or unfamiliar activities.
Come out of hiding, searching for a change
Stepping out of isolation in search of a transformation or change.
So I'll have a look around
Continuing the theme of exploration and searching for something meaningful.
Maybe I'll find something this time
Reiterating the hope of finding something significant in the current endeavor.
I'll have a look around
Expressing the potential for positive experiences to grow on the speaker.
Maybe it'll grow on me this time
Re-emphasizing the current attempt or experience.
This time around
Stating the present moment or iteration of the experience.
I've had my reasons not to go
Listing past reasons that discouraged the speaker from going out.
I've had my reasons not to stay
Enumerating reasons for not staying in a particular situation.
And I am certainly not playing with fire
Asserting a cautious approach and avoiding risky behavior.
It seems that each and every choice
Reflecting on the significance of each choice made in daily life.
The point of every day
Highlighting the purpose of each day, which is to avoid harm or danger.
Has been to stay out of harms way
Emphasizing the consistent effort to stay out of harm's way.
Have a look around
Repeating the theme of exploration and looking around for something positive.
Maybe I'll find something this time

Maybe it'll grow on me this time
Stating the present attempt or experience once again.
