Lyrics
I awake reborn
I experience a fresh start or a new beginning.
Free from the life I had before
I am no longer bound by my past life.
But as I try to start again, the truth is plain to see
Despite attempting to move forward, the harsh reality becomes evident.
Have I lost everything?
I question whether I have lost everything.
I wasn’t a bad person, I just had bad options
I made poor choices but wasn't inherently a bad person.
I did what I did with the best intentions
My actions were driven by good intentions.
But step after step I got further away from what
Despite my intentions, each step led me away from my true desires.
I really wanted and loved more than anything
I drifted away from what I truly loved and wanted the most.
You took the other road that didn’t need a king
You chose a different path that didn't require a leader.
And I’m all alone just looking in
I find myself isolated, observing from the outside.
You can’t love a dream and you can’t hold a fantasy
Emphasizes the impossibility of loving a dream or grasping a fantasy.
Everything, any time, anything that money could buy
We could have had everything money could buy.
We’d never want for anything again
An expression of desire for abundance and lack of want.
But it didn’t mean nothing ‘cos I wanted you
The material possessions left behind don't hold value compared to the desire for the person.
Not the toys you left me with after all we’d been through
Even after all experiences, the focus remains on the person, not the possessions.
And I still don’t believe that you can really see
Doubt is cast on the other person's ability to understand or see the truth.
When you’re at war with the world
In a personal conflict with the world, others become like refugees.
Everyone around you becomes a refugee
No, no, I’m not that man that you speak
Questioning the transformation into the person being referred to.
No, no, how did I become that man you speak of
Someone tell me that this isn’t happening
Seeking reassurance that the situation is not real.
I don’t deserve this, why is this happening
Questioning why such undeserved circumstances are happening.
I thought I had it all but you’ve got so much more
Recognizing that the other person possesses more, perhaps in terms of understanding or emotional depth.
But if I lose you there’ll be nothing left to live for
The fear of losing the other person, who is the reason for living.
There’s nothing to say, its over
Acknowledging the end of a relationship or situation.
And nothing will change, its over forever
Stating that nothing will alter the outcome, signifying finality.
I had to make a new life while you lived yours
Starting anew while the other person continues with their life.
I said its too late, its over, just walk away
Declaring the irreversibility of the situation, advising the other person to leave.
