Lyrics
I thought I found myself today
I believed I discovered my true self today
No one's noticed
No one has acknowledged or recognized this change
Things are okay
Despite this, everything seems to be fine
I took a walk down the street
I went for a walk along the street
Found nothing
I found nothing significant or noteworthy
Beneath my feet
Nothing substantial beneath my feet
I feel safest in knowing
I feel most secure when I understand and accept myself
That I am true
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity
When I look in your eyes
My true self is reflected when I gaze into your eyes
The idea of you
The concept or image of you
Put me on a food stamp
Suggestive of struggling financially and emotionally
And a Hallmark card
Reduced to the simplicity of a government assistance card and a generic card expressing sentiments
Tranquilize me with your ideal world
Seeking escape or relief through an idealized world
I was taught what to believe
Received instruction on what to believe in
Now I'm only certain
Now only certain about the lack of freedom for anyone
That no one is free
Expressing skepticism or disillusionment with the notion of freedom
Tranquilize me with your ideal world
Yearning for escape into an ideal world, despite doubts
