Lyrics

When you're living for your dreams

Living for one's dreams involves a risk where the focus on the future can overshadow the present.

You risk the present start to haunt you, where the future's all you see

The consequence of pursuing dreams may lead to the present becoming haunting, with the future being the sole focus.


Reveal to me my secrets

Expressing a desire for personal revelations or self-discovery.

I'm tired of finding myself right now

Frustration with the current self, seeking a change or transformation.

If you're trying to feel "with it"

Advice to avoid introspection and being in one's thoughts when trying to feel connected or relevant.

Don't go inside, behind your brow

Emphasizes the importance of experiencing life externally rather than getting lost in one's thoughts.

Just be outside and live it

Suggests embracing life and living in the moment without getting bogged down by overthinking.

Adrift, floating in the anyhow

Feeling directionless or without a specific purpose, drifting through life.

Nothing here is is mystic

Rejecting the idea of mystical or supernatural elements in the current situation.

And no one is holier than thou

Asserting that no one is morally superior or holier than anyone else.


Here I am, once a thinking man, thought I carried that with me

Reflecting on a past when the individual considered themselves a thoughtful person, expecting that quality to persist.

I used to plan and ponder moments that had yet to come or be

Used to plan and ponder future moments, anticipating what was yet to come.

Well I'm here right now and I'm leaning into this curiosity

Embracing the curiosity of the present moment and living in the "now."

For all I think I know, my constant truth is in my present POV

Despite claiming knowledge, the speaker acknowledges that their constant truth lies in their present point of view.


Here I am, once a thinking man, thought I carried that with me

Repetition of the earlier theme, emphasizing the shift from thinking to embracing curiosity.

I used to plan and ponder moments that had yet to come or be

Reiteration of past planning and pondering, contrasting with the current focus on curiosity.

Well I'm here right now and I'm leaning into this curiosity

Continued emphasis on living in the present and being curious about the current moment.

For all I think I know, my constant truth is in my present POV

Reaffirming that the speaker's constant truth is in their present point of view.


Here I am, once a thinking man, just a product of my mind

Acknowledging a shift from being a thinking person to a product of the mind, implying a change in perspective.

I use to ponder futures, planning every moment by design

Recalling a past habit of meticulously planning the future, emphasizing a contrast with the present approach.

But I'm here right now and I'm leaning into my self-constructed lies

Admitting to self-constructed lies or illusions, possibly formed through past planning and now being confronted.

Because my point of view is a slice of truth, but the moment is the pie

Highlighting the subjective nature of truth, suggesting that the individual's point of view is only a part of the larger reality.
