Lyrics

What is this about?

Questioning the topic or subject at hand.

Where is everybody going?

Wondering where everyone is headed or what their direction in life is.

What am I doing here?

Questioning one's purpose or reason for being in a particular situation or place.

Can't separate what I really need to know and

Struggling to differentiate between essential information and desired information.

What I just want to hear

Difficulty distinguishing between what is necessary to know versus what one wants to hear.

Maybe I'm alone maybe everybody's lost too

Contemplating whether feeling alone is unique or if others are also feeling lost.

Looking for their own way out

Everyone is searching for their own way out of their respective struggles.

Maybe I don't know maybe I don't even want to

Uncertainty about knowing the situation or even wanting to understand it.

Just don't want to be let down

Fearing disappointment or betrayal.

There is no sureness, I kind of just stumble along

Admitting to a lack of certainty, navigating life without a clear path.

There must be purpose in trying to keep on

Belief that there must be a reason to persevere despite uncertainties.


What do I know, I'm a child

Self-identification as inexperienced or naive.

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Trying to communicate or understand like an authoritative figure (a mother).

Seeing life come and go all the time

Observing the transient nature of life.

It's never as long as you wish it was

Life feels shorter than desired.

Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

Attempting to see the world with the innocence and wonder of a child.


And I always feel like I did when I was younger

Feeling a persistent connection to past emotions and thoughts from childhood.

Can't talk sense into me

Difficulty comprehending sensible advice or logic.

How do you decide when to know or how to wonder

Uncertainty about when to seek knowledge or simply embrace curiosity.

Or how to just get free

Seeking a way to break free from confusion or constraints.

There's no certainty, I kind of just stumble along

Accepting the lack of certainty while moving forward.

Doesn't bother me, I'm trying to keep on

Unaffected by uncertainty, still striving to progress.


What do I know, I'm a child

Reiteration of feeling inexperienced or naive.

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Attempting to communicate or understand like a parental figure.

Seeing life come and go all the time

Observing the fleeting nature of life experiences.

It's never as long as you wish it was

Life seems shorter than desired or anticipated.

Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

Continued effort to view the world with childlike wonder.


I've seen both sides and felt it all

Having experienced different perspectives and emotions.

I'm not a child anymore but I can't stand in here

Recognizing maturity but feeling unable to remain as carefree as in childhood.

The way I did when I was a kid

Unable to stay in a carefree state as one did in childhood.


What do I know, I'm a child

Reiteration of feeling inexperienced or naive.

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Attempting to communicate or understand like a parental figure.

Seeing life come and go all the time

Observing the transient nature of life.

It's never as long as you wish it was

Life feels shorter than desired.


What do I know, I'm a child

Reiteration of feeling inexperienced or naive.

Just trying to talk like a mother does

Attempting to communicate or understand like a parental figure.

Seeing life come and go all the time

Observing the fleeting nature of life experiences.

It's never as long as you wish it was

Life seems shorter than desired or anticipated.

Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

Continued effort to view the world with childlike wonder.


Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does

Continued attempt to see the world with the innocence and curiosity of a child.
