By Myself
Embracing Solitude: Joey Vantes' Reflection on Independence and Inner Peace
Lyrics
She asked me why you never have a lot of things to say
She questions why the speaker is not talkative.
Said my people living good and that's enough for me
The speaker finds contentment in the well-being of his community.
In the quiet moments I don't like to conversate
In moments of silence, the speaker avoids conversation.
Give me facts and numbers fast then get up out my way
The speaker prefers receiving information quickly and directly.
I ain't into idle moments with the small talk
The speaker dislikes meaningless small talk.
I'd rather gain some understanding through a long walk
The speaker values understanding and prefers meaningful conversations during walks.
I'm ok being with myself
The speaker is comfortable with solitude.
They wanna question me bout my health
Others inquire about the speaker's health.
Doing just fine on my own
The speaker asserts self-sufficiency and contentment.
Alone
Emphasis on being alone.
She asked me why you never have a lot of things to
Repetition of the questioning about the speaker's lack of possessions or words.
Said my people living good and that's enough for
Reiteration of finding satisfaction in the community's well-being.
In the quiet moments I don't like to conversate
Repetition of avoiding conversation in quiet moments.
Give me
Interruption or omission of information.
Then get up out my way
Reiteration of disliking idle moments and small talk.
I ain't into idle moments with the small talk
Repetition of preferring understanding through meaningful interactions.
I'd rather gain some understanding through a long walk
I'm ok being with myself
Reiteration of being okay with oneself.
They wanna question me bout my health
Continued inquiries about the speaker's health.
Doing just fine on my own
Affirmation of doing well independently.
Alone
Final emphasis on being alone.
