Is This Hollywood
Navigating Disorientation: Lucy Woodward's Journey in Is This Hollywood
Lyrics
August, no clue, 2002
Reflecting on August 2002 with uncertainty or lack of understanding.
I didn't see coming, even when I came
Unexpected events occurred, and their arrival was not apparent.
I got what I asked for
Received what was desired or requested.
Three thousands miles and no more wondering
Traveled a significant distance, eliminating uncertainty.
If I need a change
Questioning the need for a change in the new situation.
Ain't it strange
Expressing the peculiarity or unexpected nature of the situation.
Is this Hollywood?
Pondering if the current situation resembles Hollywood's glamour.
'Cause I feel a bit displaced
Feeling a bit out of place but not entirely uncomfortable.
But I kinda like it
Despite feeling displaced, finding some enjoyment in the experience.
Oh I just know it's gonna be good
Anticipating positive outcomes and embracing the upcoming experience.
I've already decided, yeah
Making a firm decision to stay and appreciate the situation.
I wouldn't leave it if I could
Content with the current situation, with no desire to leave.
Disoriented as I am
Feeling disoriented or confused despite contentment.
Is this, is this Hollywood?
Questioning if the current experience truly resembles Hollywood.
The waitress knows my story
Establishing familiarity with a waitress who knows the narrator's story.
'Cause I'm here every single morning
Regularly present in the same location every morning.
She calls you New York
The waitress refers to the narrator as New York, associating with a past location.
I tell her you're long gone
Indicating that the past (New York) is now distant and easy to forget.
And you're easy to forget
Highlighting the ease of moving on from the past.
How lucky can a girl get?
Expressing gratitude or surprise at the current positive situation.
The outta site works a charm
Commenting on the effectiveness of being out of sight, suggesting strength.
Ain't I strong?
Emphasizing personal strength in handling the situation.
And you know it's time
Acknowledging the passage of time and the need for decisions.
I can always change my mind, okay
Asserting the ability to change one's mind at any time.
I can come and I can go
Expressing the freedom to come and go as desired.
That's all I need to know, today
Declaring that the ability to come and go is sufficient knowledge for the day.
And my eyes are buggin', yeah
Experiencing excitement or surprise, possibly due to a new environment.
I got a brand new neighborhood that I'm really loving
Expressing affection for a new neighborhood.
Oh I wouldn't leave it if I could
Reiterating contentment with the current situation and the lack of a desire to leave.
Disoriented as I am
Despite feeling disoriented, expressing acceptance and satisfaction.
