Another Ordinary Summer
Embracing Revelations: Escaping an Ordinary Summer
Lyrics
There you were always watching
Observation of someone always watching.
Watch me pull and peel myself off of the pavement
Struggling to lift oneself from a difficult situation.
My dad said son, you need to run away
Parental advice to escape a mundane summer.
From another ordinary summer
Emphasis on the desire to avoid an ordinary summer.
Last time I was back out east
Recollection of a previous visit to the eastern part.
I think I found a part of me
Discovery of a self-reflective aspect.
I stumbled back eventually
Returning after some delay.
And brought it home for you to see
Sharing the discovered aspect with someone.
Head in my hands
Expressing distress and confusion.
As I try to pick up all the pieces
Attempting to recover and rebuild.
It's not the push back it's the pull
Focusing on the pull, not the resistance.
From another ordinary summer
Reiteration of avoiding an ordinary summer.
Last time I was back out east
Revisiting the eastern part again.
I think I found a part of me
Rediscovering a part of oneself.
I stumbled back eventually
Returning after some difficulty.
And brought it home for you to see
Sharing the rediscovered aspect.
Blinded by the summer sun light
Feeling blinded by the intensity of summer.
Was it all the lies we shared
Questioning the truth of shared experiences.
The lies that made us never really care
Reflecting on lies affecting care.
Last time I was back out east
Revisiting the eastern part for the last time.
I roamed around the streets
Exploration of the streets.
I found a part
Partial rediscovery of oneself.
I think I found a part of me
Confirming the rediscovery.
Laying in the gutter
Encountering a challenging situation.
Amongst the leaves and all the trash I pulled it out
Retrieving something valuable amidst difficulties.
And brought it home for you to see
Sharing the retrieved item.
Last time I was back out east
Final visit to the eastern part.
I think I found a part of me
Reaffirmation of self-discovery.
I stumbled back eventually
Returning after stumbling.
And brought it home for you to see
Final sharing of rediscovered self.
Blinded by the summer sun light
Repeating the feeling of being blinded by summer.
Was it all the lies we shared
Questioning the sincerity of shared lies.
The lies that made us never really care
Highlighting the impact of lies on caring.
