Lyrics
I know you're waiting but do not despair
I acknowledge your anticipation, but don't lose hope.
I'll be out there
I will be present or available.
I'll be out there
Reiteration of being available or present.
Overseas you know the grass is green
Overseas, the situation seems better or more favorable.
It's always been
The grass is always perceived as greener in other places.
Will always be
Emphasizing the enduring nature of this perception.
No the wilderness is not to blame
The challenges in life are not the fault of nature.
It's not your name
Challenges are not attributed to your identity.
You're still the same
You remain fundamentally unchanged despite challenges.
Wash the blood of our hands and our faces
Metaphorical expression urging to cleanse oneself of guilt.
In many ways
In various ways, we maintain our dignity.
We keep our grace
Despite challenges, we preserve our sense of dignity.
Getting tired of these big old questions
Expressing weariness of profound, unanswered queries.
Still confused about the things I knew
Still grappling with uncertainties about known things.
They're looking down on the streets of our nation
Observing societal issues from a critical perspective.
Now I never think we're getting through
Doubting the possibility of overcoming these issues.
Heard you're going to the carnival
Knowledge of your attendance at a lively event.
No don't be scared
Reassurance that there's no need to be afraid.
You're safe out there
Ensuring safety in the context of the mentioned event.
Guess you're leaving for another sphere
Understanding your departure to a different environment.
You said it clear
Clear expression of facing and overcoming fear.
To fight the fear
Encouragement to confront and combat fear.
Seek the land of raining parachutes
Searching for a place of unexpected opportunities.
They're white and blue
Parachutes symbolizing safety and transparency.
You'll see right through
The truth is evident or transparent.
Never mind the city's upside down
Disregard the chaos in the city; it's intentional.
It's built this way
The city is designed with an unconventional orientation.
This game we play
Life is a complex, strategic game.
Getting tired of these big old questions
Repetition of weariness towards unresolved questions.
Still confused about the things I knew
Continued confusion about previously understood concepts.
They're looking down on the streets of our nation
Critical observation of societal issues persist.
Now I never think we're getting through
Skepticism about the possibility of resolution.
Getting tired of these big old questions
Repetition of weariness towards unanswered questions.
Still confused about the things I knew
Ongoing confusion about previously known aspects.
They're looking down on the streets of our nation
Continued scrutiny of societal issues.
Now I never think we're getting through
Doubt about the potential for societal improvement.
