Ordinary World
Reflective musings on life's ordinary complexities
Lyrics
Is it nature or nurture that makes me walk this way?
Contemplation of whether inherent traits or upbringing influence behavior.
Is it you or is it me that's saying the things I say?
Questioning whether personal actions and expressions are self-driven or influenced by others.
You say you're looking at me but all I see is you
Feeling observed by someone else but seeing reflections of that person within oneself.
And I can only wonder at all the things you do
Curiosity about the actions and motives of the observed person.
Get it right sometime, get it right sometime
Striving to achieve correctness or success in some situations.
Someday in an ordinary world
An aspiration for a future day within the realm of normalcy.
We've seen Mother Nature; we've seen her lost and found
Observation of humanity's interactions with nature, acknowledging its influence and unpredictability.
Still hanging on her apron strings she spins us all around
Reference to humanity's dependence on nature, which can manipulate and affect human lives.
So high, so low sometimes so twisted we can't see
Human experiences fluctuating between extremes, sometimes becoming incomprehensible.
I think I'm looking at you but all I see is me
Perceiving oneself in others, possibly reflecting inner thoughts or insecurities.
Get it right sometime, get it right sometime
Desire for eventual correctness or success, reiterated.
Someday in an ordinary world
A reiteration of the hope for a future day within normalcy.
Is it rhyme or reason that makes me thinks this way?
Contemplation about the reasons influencing one's thought process.
We think we're really living, we're just living for today
Realization that present actions might lack depth, being solely focused on the immediate moment.
We don't seem to know too much our heads are underground
Admitting a lack of awareness or understanding, choosing to remain oblivious.
And the future keeps on looming regardless of what we've found
Acknowledging an inevitable future regardless of present discoveries or circumstances.
We have found solid gold can be extracted from the earth
Recognition of value obtained from the earth, metaphorically likened to extracting precious elements.
With gaudy specks of dead stars we count our worth
Assigning value to humanity using elements created from deceased stars, evaluating self-worth.
Someday in an ordinary world
Reiteration of a hope for a future day within normalcy.
We just live in an ordinary world
Acknowledging the existence and acceptance of an average, everyday life.
We can do all the ordinary things
Emphasizing the ability to carry out routine actions.
We will live in an ordinary world
Affirmation of living within the boundaries of an ordinary life.
Ordinary world
Reiteration of living in an average, unremarkable world.
