Things I'll Never Be
Discovering Myself: Unveiling the Depths of 'Things I'll Never Be'
Lyrics
I painted a picture of the sea
I expressed my imagination of the sea through art.
Cause it makes me happy thinking about
The thought of the sea brings me joy.
The tide rolling up on my feet
Imagining the tide touching my feet brings a sense of tranquility.
But I'm not an artist
I lack the true skills of an artist.
I'm just a fake
I feel like a pretender or imposter.
I'm over here painting by numbers
I'm using a paint-by-numbers approach, lacking originality.
And I've only ever seen a lake
I haven't experienced the vastness of the sea, only a lake.
There's just some things I'll never be
I acknowledge certain limitations in who I can be.
A fool for you, your remedy
I won't foolishly devote myself to you as a solution.
I'm not just some knock at your door
I'm not merely someone seeking your attention.
Yeah I've got better things to do
I have more meaningful pursuits than waiting for your approval.
Than wait to be enough for you
I won't linger in the hope of becoming enough for you.
Another chase
Referring to another cycle of pursuing something elusive.
What are you expecting from me
Questioning expectations and demands from the speaker.
There's just some things that I'll never be
Reiterating there are limits to who the speaker can become.
Walk to the corner right up my street
I am taking a stroll near my home, contemplating my life.
And I'm finally thinking much clearer
Clarity is emerging in my thoughts and feelings.
It's about time I get back to me
It's time to rediscover and reconnect with myself.
There's just some things I'll never be
Reiterating there are inherent limitations in the speaker.
A fool for you, your remedy
Not willing to be a fool or a remedy for someone else.
I'm not just some knock at your door
I'm not just a random person seeking your attention.
Yeah I've got better things to do
I have more meaningful things to focus on than waiting for you.
Than wait to be enough for you,
Avoiding the pursuit of being enough for someone else.
Another chase
Referencing another cycle of chasing unattainable goals.
What were you expecting from me
Questioning the expectations placed on the speaker.
There's just some things I'll never be
Emphasizing the speaker's inherent limitations.
A fool for you, your remedy
Not willing to be a fool or a remedy for someone else.
I'm not just some knock at your door
I'm not just a random person seeking your attention.
Yeah I've got better things to do
I have more meaningful things to focus on than waiting for you.
Than wait to be enough for you
Avoiding the pursuit of being enough for someone else.
Another chase
Referencing another cycle of chasing unattainable goals.
What were you expecting from me
Questioning the expectations placed on the speaker.
There's just some things that I'll never be
Reiterating there are inherent limitations in the speaker.
There's just some things I'll never be
Acceptance of certain limitations in who the speaker can be.
A fool for you, your remedy
Not willing to be a fool or a remedy for someone else.
I'm not just some knock at your door
I'm not just a random person seeking your attention.
Yeah I've got better things to do
I have more meaningful things to focus on than waiting for you.
Than wait to be enough for you
Avoiding the pursuit of being enough for someone else.
Cause I'm enough for me
A realization that the speaker is sufficient for themselves.
What were you expecting from me
Questioning the expectations placed on the speaker.
There's just some things that I'll never be
Reiterating there are inherent limitations in the speaker.
There's just some things that I'll never be
Acceptance of certain limitations in who the speaker can be.
There's just some things that I'll never be
Final affirmation of recognizing and accepting personal limitations.
