Lyrics

From our lives' beginning on

Life's journey starts with external influences

We are pushed in little forms

We are molded into societal expectations

No one asks us how we like to be

No one considers our preferences

In school they teach you what to think

School dictates what to believe

But everyone says different things

Divergent opinions create confusion

But they're all convinced that

Confident individuals believe they know best

They're the ones to see

Conflicting egos asserting their perspective


So they keep talking and they never stop

Continuous chatter without cessation

And at a certain point you give it up

Frustration leads to surrender

So the only thing that's left to think is this

Embracing individualistic thinking as a last resort


(I want out) to live my life alone

Desire to live independently

(I want out)

Reinforcing the desire to break free

Leave me be (I want out)

Plea for solitude

To do things on my own (I want out)

Yearning for self-reliance

To live my life and to be free

Aspiring to live freely


People tell me a and b

External opinions on what's right (a and b)

They tell me how I have to see

Imposing others' perspectives

Things that I have seen already clear

Rejection of unnecessary guidance

So they push me then from side to side

Forced from one viewpoint to another

They're pushing me from black to white

Constant pressure to conform

They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear

Pushed until there's nothing left to hear


But don't push me to the maximum

Resistance against extreme pressure

Shut your mouth and take it home

Advocating for silence and self-reflection

'Cause I decide the way things gonna be

Asserting personal control over decisions


(I want out)

Reiteration of the desire for independence

To live my life alone (I want out)

Seeking a solitary life

Leave me be (I want out)

Request to be left alone

To do things on my own (I want out)

Yearning for autonomy

To live my life and to be free

Desire to live freely


There's a million ways to see the things in life

Recognizing diverse perspectives in life

A million ways to be the fool

Acknowledging the potential for folly

In the end of it, none of us is right

No absolute right or wrong in the end

Sometimes we need to be alone

Advocating for occasional solitude


No no no, leave me alone

Firm rejection of external interference


To live my life alone (I want out)

Repetition of the desire for independence

Leave me be (I want out)

Request to be left alone

To do things on my own (I want out)

Yearning for autonomy

To live my life and to be free

Desire to live freely

(I want out)

Final affirmation of the longing for independence
