What's Up
Seeking Purpose: A Journey Through Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Reflecting on 25 years of life and the ongoing struggle to overcome challenges
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
Describing the challenge as a metaphorical "great big hill of hope" towards a goal
For a destination
Expressing the desire for a meaningful destination or purpose in life
I realized quickly when I knew I should
Realizing the need for action when the realization of life's challenges sets in
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
Acknowledging the interconnectedness of humanity as a "brotherhood of man"
For whatever that means
Questioning the significance of such interconnectedness
And so I cry sometimes
Admitting to occasional emotional release through crying
When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
Describing the act of releasing emotions while lying in bed
What's in my head
Wondering about the thoughts and emotions present in the mind
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
Feeling a sense of peculiarity or strangeness
And so I wake in the morning
Beginning a new day and facing the outside world
And I step outside
Stepping outside as a symbolic act of engaging with the world
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
Taking a moment to breathe deeply and experience a heightened state
And I scream from the top of my lungs
Expressing intense emotions by screaming from the top of one's lungs
What's going on?
Posing the question "What's going on?" to the world
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Repeating the expression of the question with a sense of urgency
I said hey, what's going on?
Reiterating the query about the current state of affairs
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Continuing to express the urgency and confusion about the world
I said hey, what's going on?
Repeating the question, seeking answers or understanding
Oh, oh oh
Adding an emotional exclamation, possibly expressing frustration or despair
Oh, oh oh
Repeating the emotional exclamation
And I try, oh my god do I try
Acknowledging persistent efforts and struggles
I try all the time, in this institution
Describing constant efforts within an institution or system
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
Expressing a plea or hope for a positive change through prayer
I pray every single day
Highlighting the regularity of prayer, suggesting a deep longing for change
For a revolution
Expressing the desire for a revolutionary transformation
And so I cry sometimes
Repeating the act of crying as a means of emotional release
When I'm lying bed
Revisiting the idea of releasing emotions while in bed
Just to get it all out
Reiterating the need to express and release inner thoughts
What's in my head
Reflecting on the contents of the mind that need to be released
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
Reiterating the sense of peculiarity or strangeness in one's feelings
And so I wake in the morning
Starting a new day and facing the world again
And I step outside
Stepping outside as a symbolic act of engagement and confrontation
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
Taking a deep breath and seeking a heightened state again
And I scream from the top of my lungs
Expressing intense emotions by screaming the same question
What's going on?
Repeating the question "What's going on?" with a sense of urgency
And I say, hey hey hey hey
Expressing the urgency and confusion with repeated exclamations
I said hey, what's going on?
Reiterating the question about the state of affairs
And I say, hey hey hey hey
Continuing to express the urgency and confusion about the world
I said hey, what's going on?
Repeating the question, seeking answers or understanding
And I say, hey hey hey hey
Continuing the emotional exclamation, expressing frustration or despair
I said hey, what's going on?
Repeating the emotional exclamation
And I say, hey hey hey hey
Continuing to seek answers or understanding about the state of affairs
I said hey, what's going on?
Reiterating the question with a sense of urgency
Oh, oh oh oh
Adding an emotional exclamation, possibly expressing frustration or despair
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Reflecting again on 25 years of life and the ongoing struggle
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
Repeating the metaphor of the "great big hill of hope" towards a destination
For a destination
Reiterating the desire for a meaningful destination or purpose in life
