Do You Really Wanna Know
Unveiling the Urban Odyssey: Jesse Malin's Journey Through Cityscapes
Lyrics
Do you really wanna know
Expressing a question about the desire to understand something deeply.
I'm packing up my bags and getting out
Deciding to leave, possibly indicating a desire for change or escape.
People try to tell me what it's all about
Facing others' attempts to explain the situation or life in general.
I'm talking to the girls on the avenue
Engaging with women on the street, possibly seeking connection.
With nothing to lose
Feeling free or unburdened, suggesting a lack of responsibilities.
Do you really wanna know
Reiterating the initial question, emphasizing the importance of understanding.
All the way from Hollywood
Being far away from Hollywood, possibly indicating distance from a glamorous or artificial lifestyle.
Far away from something natural
Being distant from something natural, suggesting a disconnection from authenticity.
Far away from, sha la la la, sha la la la la
Using a repetitive, nonspecific expression, possibly indicating a sense of emptiness or lack of meaning.
I'm looking like a man that has lost a bet
Appearing defeated or unlucky in a situation, reflecting on personal challenges.
I'm waiting on someone ain't shown up yet
Waiting for someone who hasn't arrived yet, possibly expressing a sense of anticipation or disappointment.
I'm feeling like the kids on the avenue with nothing to do
Feeling idle or purposeless, similar to the kids on the avenue with nothing to do.
Do you really wanna know
Repeating the question, underscoring the need for understanding or clarity.
Do you really wanna know
Emphasizing the repeated question, suggesting a persistent quest for meaning.
All the way from Hollywood
Reiterating being far from Hollywood, highlighting the distance from a particular lifestyle.
Far away from something natural
Reiterating being far from something natural, indicating a continued sense of disconnection.
Far away from, sha la la la, sha la la la la
Repeating the nonspecific expression, possibly emphasizing the feeling of emptiness.
And I wasted all my money
Acknowledging the wastefulness of financial resources.
And I wasted all my youth
Acknowledging the wastefulness of time or youth.
And I wasted all my sha la la la la
Acknowledging the wastefulness of a repeated, possibly meaningless expression (sha la la la la).
Do you really wanna, sha la la la sha la la la la
Prompting again, questioning if the listener truly wants to know, emphasizing the significance of the repeated expression.
