Embracing Optimism: A Reflection on Confidence and Imperfections
Lyrics
I know how it feels
I understand the sensation
To say that I'm right
Claiming to be correct
Even when I know that I'm wrong
Despite awareness of being incorrect
All I learnt in school
All my education taught me
Is that a confident voice
A confident tone can mask incompetence
Can hide an incompetent fool
Implying that confidence can hide foolishness
I'm positive, an optimist
Expressing positivity, an optimist
Hope for the best
Having hope for a positive outcome
My glass is half full even when we're without a glass
Optimistic perspective, even without a reason
I'm positive, an optimist
Reiterating a positive, optimistic outlook
Hope for the best
Maintaining hope despite challenges
My glass is half full even when we have broken the glass
Remaining optimistic in the face of destruction
Knowledge goes so far
Limiting value of knowledge
In a company car
In a corporate setting
But it's not a charismatic smile
Emphasizing the importance of charisma
I'm positive, an optimist
Positivity reiterated, being an optimist
Hope for the best
Maintaining hope for a positive outcome
My glass is half full even when we're without a glass
Optimism persists even without a reason
I'm positive, an optimist
Positivity expressed, an optimist
Hope for the best
Holding hope despite challenges
My glass is half full even when we have broken the glass
Remaining optimistic in the face of destruction
