Anything New
Journey of Discovery: Embracing the Unknown with Jeffrey Gaines' 'Anything New'
Lyrics
I walked around
I wandered aimlessly
By faith I was guided
I relied on my faith for guidance
And each step that I took
Each step brought me closer to something
Led me closer to something
But that something was becoming less visible
But further from view
I faced a paradox of getting closer yet losing sight
I talked to myself
I engaged in self-talk
I must be strong for my weakness
I recognized the need for strength despite my weaknesses
And I didn't want to look
I avoided looking directly at the challenges
It all left me frightened
The experiences left me fearful
Yet anxious for anything new
Yet I remained eager for new experiences
Anything new
Repetition of the desire for new things
I have collected
I have accumulated
Mountains of things
A large amount of possessions
Each a reminder
Each serving as a reminder
Though the more I acquire
The more I acquire, the more I lose
The more that I lose
Reflecting on the paradox of possession and loss
This keeps me searching
This paradox motivates my search
One ear to the ground
I remain attentive for new information
Cause once the surprise
Anticipation fades after the initial surprise
Of new knowledge has died
I dedicate my time to searching everywhere
I spend all my time looking anywhere
Continued pursuit of anything new
For anything new
Reiteration of the longing for new experiences
Anything new
Repetition of the desire for new things
I lay awake
I remain awake with guilt preventing sleep
Too guilty for sleep
Feeling guilty hinders rest
And each of my senses
My senses are impaired and lack clarity
They're dull and unable
Senses are dull and unresponsive
They haven't a clue
Senses are unaware of the situation
Here in this darkness
In the darkness, answers become apparent
Answers come into view
Clarity emerges in challenging situations
And with each reply it is revealed to me
Answers reveal that life is spent seeking
That I'll spend all my life
Continued dedication to seeking new experiences
Looking everywhere
A commitment to searching everywhere
For anything new
Persistent pursuit of anything new
Anything new
Reiteration of the desire for new experiences
