Stray
Lost in the Echoes of Yearning: Grace VanderWaal's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I wanna write a song
I have a desire to compose a song
One that can explain my loss
A song that can articulate my sense of loss
I wanna write a song
Expressing the need to create a song
That you can hear and
A song that communicates emotions
Know how my heart yearns
To make you understand the longing in my heart
And how my insides churn
Describing internal turmoil
And how my cheeks burn
Referring to blushing cheeks
From the weekly storm
From the recurring emotional storms
And how my face turns
Discussing the physical reaction before your return
Before you return to the wall
Possibly referencing a barrier or obstacle
And then down the floor
Mentioning a descent, a fall
I keep only seeing rain
Constantly perceiving negativity or challenges
I will say no
Expressing a desire to reject something
But you keep crawling in my brain
Intrusive thoughts persist despite resistance
I wanna get lost, run away
Expressing a wish to escape and be lost
In the dark is where I will stray
Desiring to wander in the dark, metaphorically
I gotta write a song
Feeling a need to create another song
But I wanna feel my words
Desiring a connection between words and emotions
And I keep getting it all wrong
Frustration with difficulty in expressing thoughts
Think it out, write it out, rip it out
Thinking, writing, and discarding in the creative process
Throw it all to the wall
Symbolic action of throwing ideas onto the metaphorical wall
And I keep only seeing rain
Continued perception of challenges or negativity
I will say no
Asserting a refusal despite difficulties
But you keep crawling in my brain
Intrusive thoughts persist despite resistance
I wanna get lost, run away
Expressing a desire to escape and be lost
In the dark is where I
Yearning to be in the dark, metaphorically
I wanna feel the way I used to
Expressing a desire to recapture past feelings
I wanna move the way I used to groove
Wanting to return to a previous state of movement
I wanna feel the way I used to
Expressing a desire to recapture past feelings
I wanna move the way I used to groove
Wanting to return to a previous state of movement
But I keep only seeing rain
Continued perception of challenges or negativity
I keep saying no
Repeating a refusal despite difficulties
But you'll find your way into my brain
Suggesting inevitability of someone entering thoughts
I wanna get lost, run away
Expressing a desire to escape and be lost
In the dark is where I
Yearning to be in the dark, metaphorically
I keep only seeing rain
Repeating the perception of challenges or negativity
I will say no
Reasserting a refusal despite difficulties
But you keep crawling in my brain
Intrusive thoughts persist despite resistance
I wanna get lost, run away
Expressing a desire to escape and be lost
In the dark is where I'll stray
Desiring to wander in the dark, metaphorically
Wanna feel the way I used to
Repeating a desire to recapture past feelings
I wanna move the way I used to groove
Reiterating a wish to move in a familiar way
I wanna feel the way I used to
Expressing a desire to recapture past feelings
I wanna feel the way I used to
Reiterating a wish to feel as in the past
