Beam me up
Yearning for Escape: Go Back To The Zoo's Centered Reflection
Lyrics
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up
Feeling isolated or lost, seeking assistance or connection
I'm in the centre, oh please beam me up
Expressing a desire to be transported or taken away from the current situation
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up, oh ooh
Reiteration of the plea for help or rescue
You can say what you want to
Asserting independence and resistance to external influence
But I won't do as I'm told to,
Refusing to conform or follow instructions blindly
I'm up, all night thinking about nothing,
Engaged in deep contemplation with a lack of meaningful thoughts
'Cause there's nothing to dream about
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of inspiration
It ain't easy living on poor part of town
Highlighting the challenges of living in a disadvantaged area
It ain't easy, it's so hard
Emphasizing the difficulty and hardships of life
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up
Repetition of the plea for assistance or rescue
I'm in the centre, oh please beam me up
Reiterating the desire to be transported or taken away
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up
Repetition of the plea for help or rescue
I'm 64 and I'm sitting on the couch watching 'as the world turns',
Describing a mundane situation of watching TV at an older age
Oh I know there is nothing in this life I have done,
Reflecting on a life with a perceived lack of significant achievements
And put my heart into,
Acknowledging a lack of passion or commitment in past endeavors
It ain't easy living on poor part of town
Reiteration of the challenges of living in a disadvantaged area
It ain't easy, it's so hard
Reiterating the difficulty and hardships of life
I try… I try
Expressing an effort to overcome challenges
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up
Repetition of the plea for assistance or rescue
I'm in the centre, oh please beam me up
Expressing a strong desire to be transported or taken away
I'm in the centre, oh won't you pick me up
Reiteration of the plea for help or rescue
