What Have You Seen
Unveiling Life's Unseen Symphony
Lyrics
You ain't seen nothing yet, I ain't been knocking down your door
You haven't experienced anything significant yet; I haven't been actively seeking your attention.
Don't even try to compare me to the one who went before
Don't attempt to compare me to the previous person in your life.
You ain't seen nothing yet, I ain't been pointing out your sins
I haven't been highlighting or criticizing your mistakes so far.
Keep your judgements in a paper sack until the fun begins
Reserve your judgments until the enjoyable part begins.
You ain't seen nothing yet, there'll be some changes in the tide
Expect some significant changes in circumstances.
You'll have to open your mind so it can swallow all your pride
You need to be open-minded and humble.
If you think you've been around, you'd better check your maps and charts
If you believe you've experienced a lot, reassess your understanding.
Because I've lived through broken dreams and seen a thousand shattered hearts
The singer has faced disappointments and witnessed numerous broken hearts.
How can you tell me that everything's come undone
Questioning the listener's negative perception when everything seems fine.
This ain't no shotgun wedding, I don't even own a gun
The situation is not as dire as a forced or hasty commitment; there's no need for drastic measures.
How can you tell me that everything's gone insane
Challenging the idea that everything has become chaotic or irrational.
When you sit there like a picture postcard, fighting wars that have no name
Criticizing the listener for engaging in pointless conflicts.
In a nightmare long ago I walked through villages of songs
Reflecting on a difficult past where the singer fought for justice.
Fighting for my rights and tying purse strings to their wrongs
Advocating for rights while exposing the wrongs committed by others.
Throwing questions at the wall, and getting no reply
Pose questions without receiving satisfactory answers.
Just like cancer, the same answer, kept on eating at my eye
Comparing a persistent issue to cancer, slowly eating away at the singer's resolve.
You ain't seen nothing yet, you'd be surprised what I can do
Reassuring the listener that they haven't witnessed the full extent of the singer's capabilities.
As you sit there in your sweat socks, looking for a shoe
Mocking the listener for being seemingly unprepared or oblivious.
Tomorrows come and go, it's hard to know which road is warm
Expressing uncertainty about the future and the difficulty of choosing the right path.
You ain't seen nothing yet, you're only waiting for the storm
Emphasizing that more challenges are on the way; the storm is yet to come.
How can you tell me that everything's come undone
Repeating the questioning of the listener's perception of chaos.
This ain't no shotgun wedding, I don't even own a gun
Reiterating that the singer is not in a rushed or forced commitment.
How can you tell me that everything's gone insane
Challenging the notion that everything has descended into madness.
When you sit there like a picture postcard, fighting wars that have no name.
Reprimanding the listener for engaging in meaningless conflicts like a picturesque image.
You ain't seen nothing yet, I haven't started to evolve
Assuring that the singer is still evolving and has untapped potential.
I've never met a puzzle I couldn't synchronize or solve
Confidently stating the ability to solve any challenge or puzzle.
You ain't seen nothing yet, the whole wide world is shaky ground
Highlighting the instability of the world; nothing is certain.
A nervous quake, for heaven's sake, you can't lose what you've never found
Describing the world as shaky ground and emphasizing the futility of losing something not found.
You ain't seen nothing yet, there is no potion in the breeze
Rejecting the idea that there's a magical solution to life's challenges.
That can take you up the mountain or bring me to my knees
Encouraging a joint effort to overcome obstacles.
Let's climb that rocky road, together, hand in hand
Metaphorically suggesting overcoming one final obstacle together.
And conquer one last hillside and one last grain of sand
Expressing the idea of conquering the last challenge or difficulty.
