Since Yesterday
Chasing Happiness: Jordan Jacques' Musical Journey Through Life
Lyrics
Since yesterday I've been fine
Expressing that the speaker has been well since the previous day.
I've been fine, just finding ways to kill some time
Continuing to be well, occupying time constructively to pass it.
If you don't mind
Asking for permission or agreement to accompany the speaker.
Taking a little walk with me
Inviting someone to take a stroll with the speaker.
I can tell you everything that I wanna be
Offering to share personal aspirations and desires.
That's if you wanna pay some mind
Conditionally sharing thoughts if the listener is interested.
Quick everybody find their place in line
Encouraging everyone to find their place or purpose in life.
Okay fine, I been a little fucked up
Admitting to some personal struggles or challenges.
But so is everybody on this earth I've had enough stuff go wrong
Acknowledging that difficulties are universal, expressing fatigue from setbacks.
So now I'm turning right I deserve happiness
Deciding to turn towards happiness as a deserving choice.
I always had the thought that I somehow need to earn the right
Reflecting on a past belief that happiness needs to be earned.
That's not true man
Rejecting the notion that happiness must be earned.
You do too man
Asserting that everyone deserves happiness.
I'm living in this big facade it's something like I'm Truman
Comparing life to a facade similar to "The Truman Show," suggesting a lack of authenticity.
It's all for show
Acknowledging that the speaker is aware of the facade.
I know for sure
Expressing certainty about being at home despite dreams being elsewhere.
I been at home but my dreams they're all on the road
Describing dreams filled with fame, lights, and action, but seeking joy in the present.
They all filled with lights cameras and action and throwing shows
Emphasizing the dreams of fame contrasted with the need for joy in the current moment.
But I gotta find some joy in this moment I suppose
Recognizing the importance of finding joy in the present situation.
Well that's the lesson right
Summarizing the lesson of finding joy in the present.
That's what I'm supposed to learn
Reiterating the lesson and questioning why it's challenging to apply in personal relationships.
So how come I just fuck it up each time that I get close to her
Expressing difficulty in maintaining the lesson in romantic relationships.
I guess I'm moving on slowly but surely
Indicating a slow but steady process of moving on from past difficulties.
Time just keep on moving faster maybe tomorrow I'm 30
Reflecting on the passage of time and the inevitability of aging.
Maybe next day is 80 while yesterday was a baby
Highlighting the swift progression of time and the fleeting nature of life.
I just can't handle the pressure that's been put down on me lately
Expressing feeling overwhelmed by recent pressures and challenges.
I know I'm young still, yeah I got a lot of life to live
Acknowledging youth but feeling burdened by life's demands.
That's what everybody tell me I'm just some excited kid
Recognizing others' perception of the speaker as an excited youth.
And though I'm on the fence I'll take it as a compliment
Ambivalent about the perception but willing to accept it as a compliment.
Accomplishments ain't nothing less there's someone I can conquer with
Valuing achievements and the potential to overcome challenges with others.
And honestly in life that's all I really long for
Expressing a desire for meaningful connections in life.
Good people with me for now and all through the encore so
Desiring the support of good people throughout life and beyond.
Since yesterday I've been fine
Repeating the sentiment of well-being since yesterday.
I've been fine, just finding ways to kill some time
Reiterating the speaker's current positive state and time-killing activities.
If you don't mind
Requesting companionship for a walk, offering to share aspirations.
Taking a little walk with me
Inviting someone to join the speaker and share personal thoughts.
I can tell you everything that I wanna be
Repeating the willingness to share personal aspirations.
