Van Nuys
Van Nuys: Chasing Recognition, Seeking Connection
Lyrics
So I saw you walking by the other day
Observing someone passing by recently
And I just wanted to say...
Expressing a desire to convey a message
Caught up in the past I'll make it right
Acknowledging past mistakes and intending to correct them
Running back and forth till the end of time
Engaging in repetitive and futile actions over time
No where left to go no end in sight
Feeling stuck with no clear direction in life
Everything is seen when you're under the light
Being exposed and judged when in the spotlight
Van Nuys hills for miles
Referencing the geographical feature of Van Nuys hills
Stopped to see your eyes
Pausing to appreciate or connect with someone's eyes
When I come around
Anticipating a return or encounter
Drive far won't slow down
Driving extensively without slowing down
And you said that you believe me
Being told that trust is given, but actions speak otherwise
But never take the time to see me
Expressing disappointment in not being truly seen
Never saw your line of vision
Not realizing the perspective or understanding of the other person
I guess I'm noticing the difference
Recognizing a noticeable change or realization
If you said that you believe me
Repetition of the theme of trust and being overlooked
But never take the time to see me
Reiterating the disappointment in lack of attention
Never saw your line of vision
Highlighting the failure to comprehend each other's perspectives
I guess I'm noticing the difference
Acknowledging the growing awareness of differences
Van Nuys hills for miles
Referring again to the Van Nuys hills, possibly a significant place
Stopped to see your smile
Pausing to appreciate or connect with someone's smile
When I come around
Expecting a return or encounter with persistence
Drive far won't slow down
Continuing to drive extensively without slowing down
