Lyrics

I don't know who I am but I do know who I'm not

I am uncertain about my identity, but I can define who I am not.

I'm just looking for a friend I'm still searching for the plot

I am in search of companionship and still trying to discover the purpose or direction of my life.


I got a vision made it my religion

I have a clear goal or aspiration that I've embraced as a guiding principle, almost like a religious belief.

oh I'm going to break out break out of this prison

I am determined to escape or overcome a challenging situation, described metaphorically as a prison.

sing it to my softly maybe when I'm older

Expressing a desire to share this vision or goal with someone, possibly when more mature or experienced.

oh I just can't stand it stand it any longer

An impatient acknowledgment of being unable to endure a particular situation any longer.


love is a light and it's always shining bright

Love is portrayed as a guiding light that consistently illuminates and directs one's path.

you can let it light your way though the darkness day to day

Encouraging the idea of letting love guide one through the challenges of life.

time is a lie that you got to buy in to

Time is presented as a deceptive concept that one must accept and conform to.

it don't matter what you say it don't matter what you do

Emphasizing that words and actions may not have significance or impact in the grander scheme of things.


I got a vision made it my religion

Reiteration of having a clear and significant vision, likening it to a personal belief system.

oh I'm going to break out break out of this prison

A determination to break free from constraints or limitations, reiterated from an earlier line.

sing it to my softly maybe when I'm older

Revisiting the desire to share the vision with someone, possibly in a more subdued manner.

oh I just can't stand it stand it any longer

A reaffirmation of impatience or frustration with a current situation.


and so it goes

The phrase "and so it goes" suggests an acceptance or resignation to the cyclical nature of life's events.

and so it goes

Repetition of the resigned acceptance of life's inevitable course.

and so it goes

Continued acceptance of life's unfolding events, echoing the previous lines.

and so it goes

A final repetition, reinforcing the idea of accepting the continuous flow of life.
