Athena
Yearning for Athena: A Journey from Pride to Love
Lyrics
I'm not fuckin' around anymore
I am serious and committed now.
Got my pedal pushed down to the floor, my, my
I'm moving fast, determined.
Say that you know me, babe
You claim to understand me.
But no one really knows me, baby
No one truly comprehends me.
Thought I was better with some self-dedication
I thought I could improve through self-discipline.
That's what I get for making cold proclamations
Making bold statements led to negative consequences.
I go ahead and kiss the ground
I accept defeat or failure.
My head's getting heavy on this side of town
Feeling overwhelmed in my current situation.
But you've got it and I want it more
You possess something desirable.
Want it more than you could ever know
I desire it intensely, more than you realize.
Smoke my way to heaven on the bathroom floor
Coping with challenges through self-destructive behaviors.
Singing where is Athena? Goddamnit I need her
Searching for guidance or inspiration, referencing Athena.
To save me from all of this nothingness out on my own
Seeking rescue from emptiness while alone.
I'm too dangerous to know
Perceiving myself as a risky or problematic individual.
I need a holy vibration, I'm wanting
Desiring a spiritually uplifting experience.
Just show me that one day I might be worth something, I hope
Hoping to prove my worth someday.
Know I'm done with being proud
Deciding to let go of pride.
I need some love now
In need of love and support.
I don't wanna be the man that I was
Rejecting my past self, aiming for innocence.
I wanna jump into the innocence of your touch
Yearning for the purity of your touch.
Fall into your ocean hands
Imagining a comforting embrace.
Pick me like a cherry blossom in Japan
Comparing myself to a delicate cherry blossom.
And we could fly away 'til we don't recognize the people
Fantasizing about escaping reality with you.
And you can tell your friends back home, but boy they won't believe you, no
Anticipating disbelief from others about our connection.
'Cause I want you more than that
Expressing a deep desire for you.
Praying to a temple, I won't fall off track
Maintaining focus on a positive path through prayer.
I'm singing where is Athena? Goddamnit I need her
Reiterating the search for Athena's guidance.
To save me from all of this nothingness out on my own
Seeking salvation from emptiness and solitude.
I'm too dangerous to know
Reaffirming my perceived danger or complexity.
I need a holy vibration, I'm wanting
Desiring a spiritually uplifting experience.
Just show me that one day I might be worth something, I hope
Hoping for a future where I have value.
Know I'm done with being proud
Letting go of pride again.
I need some love now (yeah)
Expressing an urgent need for love.
I need some love now, mm, yeah (yeah)
Repeating the need for love.
'Cause you've got it and I want it more
You possess something desirable.
Than you could ever know
Intense desire beyond your understanding.
Meet you up in heaven on my bedroom floor
Imagining a meeting in heaven.
I'm singing where is Athena? Goddamnit I need her
Searching for Athena's guidance once more.
To save me from all of this nothingness out on my own
Seeking rescue from emptiness and solitude again.
I'm too dangerous to know (too dangerous to know)
Reiterating the perceived danger in knowing me.
I need a holy vibration, I'm wanting
Desiring a spiritually uplifting experience.
Just show me that one day I might be worth something, I hope
Hoping for a future where I have value.
Know I'm done with being proud (I'm done with being proud)
Letting go of pride once more.
I need some love now
