My Parallel
Exploring Existential Choices in 'My Parallel' by Guest Singer
Lyrics
Let's get nonchalant and hypothetical
Expressing a desire to be casual and speculative
The feeling tags along and then it seems to go
Describing a fleeting feeling that comes and goes
Like some deadbeat friend
Comparing the feeling to an unreliable or neglectful friend
(Right now)
Highlighting the current moment
I could be naked, sprawled out on your piano
Imagining a scenario of vulnerability and intimacy
(Right now)
Presenting an alternative scenario of seeking connection
I could be trying to score, pleading, borrowing your phone I could be your deadbeat friend
Continuing the description of a potential neglected friend
I wonder what the other me, I wonder what the other me is doing
Reflecting on the alternate choices and their consequences
With each decision that I didn't take
Speculating about the other self's actions based on different decisions
I guess we'll both get out of this, I guess we'll both get out of this not knowing
Expressing uncertainty about the outcome for both selves
Which one of us truly cares
Raising a question about genuine concern between the two selves
My parallel
Introducing the concept of a parallel self
My parallel
Reiterating the existence of the parallel self
Get over yourself my parallel
Encouraging the parallel self to overcome self-centeredness
Is our love ever guaranteed?
Pondering the certainty of love and its potential irony
Or a sick joke of what could of been
Suggesting the possibility that love might be a cruel joke
All I ask, is that you remember me
Requesting remembrance from the other self
And I'm freaking out, I can't afford to sing
Expressing anxiety about financial constraints and the inability to sing
And I'm irrelevant now, that's the new hot fear trending The luck in being alive
Feeling insignificant in the current societal fear trends
To summarise I don't want to die
Summarizing the importance of being alive despite fears
My parallel
Repeating the idea of a parallel self
My parallel
Reiterating the existence of the parallel self
Get over yourself My parallel
Encouraging the parallel self to overcome self-centeredness
My parallel
Repeating the idea of a parallel self
My parallel
Reiterating the existence of the parallel self
Get over yourself My parallel
Encouraging the parallel self to overcome self-centeredness
