What Its Like
Discovering Life's Contrasts: What It's Like by June Pastel
Lyrics
I forgotten what it felt like
The speaker has forgotten the sensation of a certain experience.
I forgotten what it tasted like
The speaker has also forgotten the taste associated with the experience.
But now I know
However, the speaker has gained awareness and understanding.
What its like
The speaker now knows what the experience feels like.
Now I know
Reiteration of the newfound understanding.
What its like
Reiteration emphasizing the speaker's realization.
It felt wrong for a day
Initially, the experience felt wrong, but only for a short duration.
But it felt right for life
Despite the initial discomfort, the experience felt right for the entire duration of life.
And with time we both looked dead in the eye
The speaker and another person confronted the harsh reality or challenges directly.
And with time we both stretched further away
Over time, both individuals moved apart or grew distant.
But now I know
Reiteration of the speaker's newfound understanding of the experience.
What its like
The speaker now knows what the experience feels like.
Now I know
Reiteration emphasizing the speaker's realization.
What its like
It felt wrong for a day
Reiteration of the temporary discomfort followed by a lifetime of feeling right.
But it felt right for life
Despite a brief period of feeling wrong, the experience felt right for the entire duration of life.
It felt wrong for a day
Reiteration of the temporary discomfort followed by a lifetime of feeling right.
But it felt right for life
Despite a brief period of feeling wrong, the experience felt right for the entire duration of life.
