DON'T WANNA BE HERE
Escaping the Mundane: Grier Smith's Desire for a Different Reality
Lyrics
I just wanna run away
Expresses a desire to escape
Hold on tight to a getaway train
Yearning to cling onto an escape route or opportunity
Get stomped out in a parade
Metaphorically feeling crushed or overwhelmed in a public display
I don't wanna be here
Explicitly stating the wish not to remain in the current situation
I don't wanna be here
Reiterating the desire to leave the present circumstances
Or pretty much any other place
Disinterest in almost any alternate location
Joy in the eyes of a brand new face
Observing happiness in the innocence of a new person
I don't wanna take that away
Not wanting to diminish that joy
I don't wanna be here
Reaffirming the wish to depart from the current place
I don't wanna be here
Emphasizing the desire to be elsewhere
What if I could shrink
Imagining a fantastical scenario of being tiny
Dap up with an ant
Connecting with a small creature, possibly for escapism
I'd live up In the plants
Desiring a life among nature, away from current surroundings
My crib by the plant
Home located amidst natural surroundings
they callin radiation
Suggesting exposure to harmful influences or situations
No issues here until these niggas made em
Problems only emerged due to others' actions
Laws of the land they broke that shit verbatim
Others broke rules precisely as they were written
Made it lame to feel the same vibration
It became unacceptable to share similar positive feelings
Just got shot down here
Feeling figuratively rejected or defeated
Where is god down here
Questioning the presence of higher power or goodness in the current place
Feel a lot down here
Experiencing emotional heaviness or burden
If you Wanna cop down here
Implying challenges or difficulties in acquiring things
You gone Need a lot down here
Suggesting a requirement for significant resources in this place
I just wanna run away
Reiteration of the desire to escape
Hold on tight to a getaway train
Desiring to firmly hold onto an escape opportunity
Get stomped out in a parade
Feeling overwhelmed or defeated in a public display once again
I don't wanna be here
Expressing the unwillingness to remain in the current place
I don't wanna be here
Repeating the desire to depart from the current situation
Or pretty much any other place
Disinterest in almost any alternate location, similar to line 6
Joy in the eyes of a brand new face
Noting the joy in the innocence of a new person once more
I don't wanna take that away
Reiterating not wanting to take away that joy
I don't wanna be here
Strongly asserting the wish not to remain in the current situation
I don't wanna be here
Final repetition of the desire to leave the present circumstances
