Malibu
Chasing Dreams Beyond Malibu Nights
Lyrics
She's been dreaming of somebody else's life
Expresses that she has been fantasizing about a life different from her own.
Thinking 'bout that night when things could have changed
Reflects on a particular night when circumstances might have taken a different turn.
She's had it all laid out in her mind
Indicates that she had a clear plan or vision for her life.
But with open eyes it wasn't the same
Realizes that the reality, observed with open eyes, didn't align with her idealized vision.
Am I thinking too much?
Questions if she is overthinking and worries about whether others will find her adequate.
Will they think I'm enough?
-Am I thinking too much?
-Will they think I'm enough?
-She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Expresses a disinterest in going to Malibu but mentions a willingness to write a song about it, following a trend among peers.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
-She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Reiterates the lack of intention to visit Malibu but expresses the willingness to create a song like others do.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
-If they're all living life how it should be like
Questions the apparent contentment of others and reflects on feeling trapped despite seemingly following the same life path.
Don't need to think twice about what to say
-Then why do I still feel so trapped inside
-Like this life's not mine when I do the same?
-Am I thinking too much?
Repeats the internal struggle of overthinking and concerns about being judged by others.
Will they think I'm enough?
-Am I thinking too much?
-Will they think I'm enough?
-She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Repeats the disinterest in visiting Malibu but acknowledges the intent to write a song about it, aligning with societal expectations.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
-She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Reiterates the lack of interest in Malibu but expresses the conformity of creating a song about it like others.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
-I never was the type to make up my mind
Admits a struggle with decision-making and the tendency to convince herself to like things that may not resonate with her true self.
I convince myself to like it all
-Become someone that I don't even like
-I convince myself to like it all
-I convince myself to like it all
Emphasizes the recurring theme of self-deception in accepting things she might not genuinely enjoy.
She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Repeats the disinterest in visiting Malibu but affirms the intention to write a song, conforming to societal norms.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
-She said, "I've never been to Malibu
Echoes the sentiment of not planning to go to Malibu but committing to writing a song about it, highlighting societal expectations.
And I don't even plan on it
-I'll still write a song about it
-Just like the other kids do"
