Lyrics
I know you have to pretend like you're something you're not
I understand that you feel the need to present yourself as someone you're not
Checking it is hard, flip a lid, check a box, I know you're giving it all you've got
It's challenging to assess or understand your situation, but I recognize your efforts
You've been working real hard
You've been putting in a lot of effort and hard work
Julie says that you're a big shot
There's acknowledgment from someone named Julie that you're successful or influential
That you're getting real far
You're making progress and achieving success
Go on take a twirl, show the whole world that you've become a star
Show the world that you've reached a level of stardom and success
Remember when this all began and where we were headed to
Reflect on the beginning of this journey and the initial direction we were headed
We never learned what we preferred, we were just doing what we had to do
We didn't choose our preferences; we were just doing what was necessary
To get a fat check, because we deserve respect, fast cars, and shiny shoes too
Striving for material success, recognition, luxury, and respect
Victory is sweet but it aint easy what we've been through
Success is satisfying but has not been an easy journey
Somewhere you're running
Repeated expression of running somewhere and howling like a loon
Somewhere you're running
-Somewhere you're running
-Somewhere you're running
-Howlin' like a loon
Metaphorically howling like a loon, possibly expressing freedom or a primal state
Somewhere you're running
Describing an idyllic scene of running barefoot, enjoying nature, community, and Holy Cola
Somewhere you're running
-Barefoot in grass, the beauty is stunning
-The water is clean, the air is cool and breezy
-And it tastes sweet
-And your heart is beating
-Somewhere you're running
-Food all around your feet
-Everyone you know around a fire dancing to a beat
-Sipping Holy Cola, praying somebody will meet god
-And one by one, speaking glossolalia
-I know we have to pretend like its something
-The struggle, the pride, the hustle, the grinding
Acknowledging the necessity of pretending in various aspects of life
The lights and the water, your mortgage, your driveway
-Your cell phone, your Monday through Friday.
-I know we have to pretend like we're something we're not
-I know we have to pretend
-Somewhere we are running
Repetition of the idea of running somewhere
Somewhere we are running on
-Somewhere we are running
-Somewhere we are running on
-Somewhere we are running
-Somewhere we are running on
-Somewhere we are running on
-Howlin' like a loon
Reiteration of howling like a loon and running somewhere
Howlin' like a loon
-Somewhere you're running
-Somewhere you're running
-Howlin' like a loon
-Somewhere you're running
-Somewhere you're running
-The sky beamed
Repeated imagery of the sky beaming, clouds lost, and being dropped on soft ground
The clouds were lost
-And you could drop me on the ground because it is soft
-The sky beams
-The clouds were lost
-And you could drop me on the ground because it is soft
-The sky was beaming
-The clouds were lost
-And you could drop me on the ground because it is soft
-The sky was beaming
-The clouds were lost
-And you could drop me on the ground because it is soft
