Lyrics

Guide me to a hill

Expressing a desire to be guided to a hill.

So this cloud that chases me drops to my feet

Describing a chasing cloud that symbolizes a burden or challenge.

If you wanna stay there with me, it could be nice

Inviting someone to join on the hill, suggesting it could be a positive experience.

'Cause I don't know who I am now

Expressing confusion about one's identity.

And I miss how I used to be

Yearning for the past and missing a previous version of oneself.

Because the only way I find myself

Reflecting on self-discovery through memories.

Is through my memory

Highlighting the reliance on memory to understand oneself.


'Cause all I do is question

Pondering and questioning aspects of self.

Which is the real version of me

Contemplating different versions of one's identity.


I don't want your compassion

Rejecting compassion, asserting a preference for action.

'Cause I was built for action

Expressing a proactive and action-oriented nature.

Fuck tomorrow if it fails me again

Disregarding the future if it brings disappointment.


4-6-6 miles ago

Referring to a specific distance traveled in the past.

Every destination would make me feel bold

Associating boldness with reaching various destinations.

I miss the ignorance that I once had

Nostalgic about past ignorance and simplicity.

Because I even lost my name

Expressing a loss of personal identity.

Someone replaced it for fame

Indicating a substitution of personal identity with fame.

And now the only way I find myself

Relating self-discovery to engaging in activities or performances.

Is when I'm on the play

Finding oneself in the act of playing or performing.


And all I do is question

Continuing the theme of questioning one's identity.

The multiple reflections of me

Reflecting on the complexity of self-perception with multiple reflections.


I don't want your compassion

Reiterating a rejection of compassion in favor of action.

'Cause I was built for action

Reaffirming a proactive and action-oriented mindset.

Fuck tomorrow, I'm upset today

Dismissing concerns about the future, focusing on present discontent.


Come destroy my world

Inviting disruption or change in one's world.

Before I waste my time

Preferring not to waste time and addressing the urgency of change.

Before we all get old

Acknowledging the inevitability of aging.

'Cause all I do is question

Returning to the theme of questioning one's identity.

Which is the real version of me


I don't want your compassion

Emphasizing a proactive and action-oriented nature.

'Cause I was built for action

Dismissing concerns about the future, particularly if today never ends.

Fuck tomorrow if today never ends
