Lyrics

How to explain?

Feeling perplexed about how to articulate something.

I am on my own

Being independent and self-reliant.

How to explain?

Reiterating the difficulty in explaining a situation.

No child, no home

Not having a family or a stable place to call home.

Mummy, mummy, just believe

Asking for maternal belief or support despite differences.

That's my way I wanna live

Asserting a desire for autonomy in life choices.


How to explain?

Continuing to grapple with explanation.

I go my way

Choosing one's path independently.


How to explain

Expressing not fitting into a conventional idea of entertainment.

I'm not a fun fair

Not aligning with a traditional amusement park notion.

How to explain?

Reiterating the challenge in expressing desires.

I wanna be fair

Wishing for fairness or justice in treatment.


Oh, I beg you, just believe

Pleading for belief in personal choices despite differences.

That's my way I wanna live

Reasserting the wish for autonomy in life choices.


How to explain?

Revisiting the struggle of choosing one's own path.

I go my way

Continuing on a self-determined journey.

How to explain?

Expressing difficulty in finding words to convey feelings.

I lack the words, oh

Experiencing a lack of verbal expression.

How to explain?

Feeling unheard or not understood.

I stay unheard

Remaining unnoticed or ignored.


Oh, I beg you, just believe

Repeating the plea for belief in personal choices despite difficulties.

That's my way I wanna live

Emphasizing the desire for autonomy in life decisions.

How to explain?

Continuing the struggle to explain one's choices.

I go my way...

Persisting on one's self-chosen path.
