Zebra
Harmony of Contrasts: Unveiling Life's Spectrum in John Butler Trio's 'Zebra'
Lyrics
I can be loud man, I can be silent
I can express myself loudly or remain silent.
I could be young or I could be old.
I have the potential to embody both youth and old age.
I can be a gentleman, I can be violent.
I'm capable of being a gentleman or displaying violent tendencies.
I could turn hot or I can be cold.
I can exhibit warmth or coldness in my demeanor.
I could be just like the calm before the storm
I might resemble the calmness before a chaotic event.
Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose.
Anticipating a significant upheaval or disturbance.
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
I can be innocent or possibly guilty, but it doesn't imply accepting punishment without reason.
Doesn't mean that I man believe in no noose
Rejecting the idea of accepting unfounded accusations or guilt.
I could be rich like a wandering Gypsy
I could possess riches akin to a wandering gypsy.
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost.
I might experience poverty despite once having wealth.
I could be first or I could come last
My position could vary between being first or last, with importance placed on the journey rather than the result.
Its not who breaks the ribbon
Success isn’t solely about winning but about the manner in which success is achieved.
It's how you get across.
It's about the method of overcoming challenges, not just reaching the endpoint.
I could be red blue black and white sunset
I can embody various colors and phases, reflecting versatility.
Darkest at day man brightest at night
Experiencing extremes, being darkest in the daytime and brightest at night.
I could be the sun man I could be the moon
I possess the potential to represent both the sun and the moon.
I'm made up from the stars man
Composed of cosmic elements, shining brightly like stars.
I shining so bright.
Emphasizing radiance and brilliance.
I could be asleep man, I could be awake
I can exist in a state of sleep or wakefulness.
I can be alive or be the walking dead
I can be alive and engaged or exist in a state of apathy and indifference.
I can be ignorant, I could be informed
I have the capacity for ignorance or knowledge.
I could lead my life or i could be led
The choice between leading my own life or being led by others.
I can be anything i put my mind to man,
I have the potential to become anything I set my mind to.
all i gotta do is give myself half a chance
Realizing that achieving success often requires just giving oneself an opportunity.
I can bring love back into my life
I have the ability to reintroduce love into my life and share it if I find balance.
and share it with the world if i got some balance
Emphasizing the importance of balance in spreading love and positivity.
