Lyrics
These people say that you have to change
Expressing societal pressure to conform and change.
You have to be the same just to survive life
Highlighting the demand for conformity for survival.
Like being stuck at a station without a train
Metaphor for feeling stuck and directionless.
Wondering when this rain is going to pass by
Desire for challenges or difficulties to pass.
And like a shining light
Positive influence entering the speaker's life.
You walk into my life and show me what to do
Guidance and support provided by the positive influence.
You walk against the grain
Encouragement to go against societal norms.
Don’t ever be ashamed of being you
Promoting self-acceptance and authenticity.
Oh I just want to know you
Expressing a desire to understand the positive influence.
I want to show you
Wanting to share something beyond the challenges of life.
More than this fucked up world
Describing the world as challenging and problematic.
And I can keep the cold out
Offering protection and warmth against difficulties.
Leave you with no doubt
Ensuring confidence and certainty in the relationship.
I can show you how to love in this fucked up world
Commitment to teaching love despite challenges.
These days I’m taking pills just to get some sleep
Struggling with modern issues, possibly technology-related.
Trying to quiet down the screams of this iSociety
Attempting to drown out the negative aspects of society.
If life’s a game I want to meet the referee
Expressing a desire to confront and challenge life's rules.
So I can knock out all his teeth and see if he likes how it feels
Metaphorically confronting authority to test its impact.
Like a blinding light, you walk into my life
Positive influence entering life again, perhaps repetitively.
And I know what to do
Confidence and clarity in knowing what to do.
I feel you take my hand, your eyes they understand
Physical and emotional connection with the positive influence.
And I feel like a fool
Feeling vulnerable or foolish in the presence of the influence.
Oh I just want to know you
Reiteration of the desire to understand the positive influence.
I want to show you
Reiteration of the desire to share something meaningful.
More than this fucked up world
Describing the world as flawed and in need of understanding.
And I can keep the cold out
Ensuring protection and certainty in the relationship.
Leave you with no doubt
Reassurance of confidence in the midst of challenges.
I can show you how to love in this fucked up world
Recommitment to teaching love despite the world's problems.
It’s a fucked up world
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the world.
We need more love in the world
Advocacy for more love to counteract the world's issues.
Oh in this fucked up world
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the world.
See you and I can live together
Expressing the possibility of coexisting harmoniously.
No don’t you let them see you cry
Encouragement not to show vulnerability to others.
Don’t you waste your time
Advising against wasting time on negativity.
Cos I just want to know you
Reiteration of the desire to understand the positive influence.
I want to show you
Reiteration of the desire to share something meaningful.
More than this fucked up world
Describing the world as challenging and problematic.
