Lyrics
Today I looked down in the water
Reflecting on oneself, possibly in a contemplative or introspective state.
I saw a face look back at me
Confronting one's own image in the water, suggesting self-examination.
It hit me like a bolt of lightning
Experiencing a sudden realization or revelation, comparable to a powerful and unexpected force.
I may not like what I see.
Anticipating that the reflection might reveal aspects of oneself that are not pleasing.
Am I true to myself
Pondering one's authenticity and sincerity in actions and beliefs.
Do I believe in what I do
Questioning whether one truly believes in and stands by their own actions.
Am I playing a role
Exploring the possibility of playing a role or adopting a persona that may not align with one's true self.
Do I want to be like you
Contemplating the desire or reluctance to emulate others.
Or am I what I hate in others
Considering the potential contradiction of embodying qualities that are disliked in others.
Only seeing things my way
Acknowledging a potential bias in perceiving situations solely from one's perspective.
That's what I'm gonna ask myself today.
Expressing the intention to pose these self-reflective questions.
Do I really like my brothers
Questioning genuine feelings towards siblings or close relationships.
Do I like my hair so long
Examining personal choices, such as hairstyle, and evaluating whether they align with true preferences.
Do I try to think of others
Reflecting on the extent to which one considers the perspectives and needs of others.
Can I believe what's in my song
Doubting the sincerity or truthfulness of the content in one's creative expression, like a song.
Do I think of all men equal
Questioning whether one genuinely believes in equality for all individuals.
Or pretend I just don't see
Considering the possibility of ignoring certain aspects of reality or turning a blind eye.
Have I looked for good in others
Exploring the extent to which one actively seeks out and acknowledges the positive qualities in others.
Or just laughed and let them be.
Contemplating whether one tends to dismiss others' qualities, possibly through laughter or indifference.
