Not As Manic As I Used to Be
Embracing Tranquility: A Journey of Love and Growth
Lyrics
This one goes out to the ones I love
This song is dedicated to the people I deeply care about.
My girlfriend and my daughter
Specifically, my girlfriend and daughter.
The ones I care for who are not here
The individuals I cherish who are currently absent.
My father and my mother
Mentioning my father and mother.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
I'm not as emotionally turbulent as I used to be.
If you let me I’ll stand on your shoulders
If permitted, I'd lean on your support.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Reiterating a reduction in emotional instability.
And my heart is a bit warmer
My heart feels more affectionate and compassionate.
and wiser than it was before
Additionally, it's more experienced and knowledgeable.
I don’t get lost like I used to do
I don't get as disoriented as I did previously.
Don’t panic quite as often
I'm less prone to panicking now.
Fell out of place like christmas in June
I felt out of place like a misplaced celebration.
Back when it was important
Referencing a past time that used to be significant.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Continuing the theme of reduced emotional intensity.
If you let me I’ll stand on your shoulders
Expressing a willingness to rely on your support.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Reaffirming a decrease in emotional volatility.
And my heart is a bit warmer
My heart is more tender and understanding.
and wiser than it was before
It has gained wisdom and insight compared to before.
Back up back up now and give me room
Requesting space and clearance.
My sisters and my brothers
Mentioning my siblings.
My lust for life and my thirst for love
Noting my increased passion for life and love.
Has been growing stronger
Expressing a stronger desire for love.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Reiterating a decrease in emotional intensity.
If you let me I’ll stand on your shoulders
Openness to leaning on your support.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Emphasizing reduced emotional turbulence.
And my heart is a bit warmer
My heart is more affectionate and empathetic.
and wiser than it was before
It has gained more wisdom and insight.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Continuing the theme of decreased emotional instability.
If you let me I’ll stand on your shoulders
Expressing readiness to rely on your support.
I’m not as manic as I used to be
Reaffirming a reduction in emotional turbulence.
And my heart is a bit warmer
My heart has become more tender and understanding.
and wiser than it was before
It has gained more wisdom compared to the past.
