Somebody's Man
Struggling for Identity: Somebody's Man Unveils a Journey of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
I can't stand this place
I feel discontent or discomfort in my current situation or environment.
Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase
I arrived with a used suitcase, suggesting a lack of luxury or abundance.
I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare
I once had a good situation, but now people treat me with curiosity and judgment.
As your letter crumbles in my hand
As I hold your letter, it falls apart, possibly symbolizing a relationship breaking down.
I wish I was somebody's man
I desire to belong to someone, to have a committed relationship.
It's all a hoax
I perceive life as deceptive or fraudulent.
You ran away when I needed you the most
You left me when I needed you the most.
I blinked my eyes for a second, and let go of the plan
I momentarily lost focus and abandoned the plan.
But a second´s too long for you
A short lapse in attention was enough for you to doubt my commitment.
To believe I forgot I was somebody's man
You doubt that I remember I am committed to someone.
Things look ok from time to time
Life seems fine occasionally.
Then walking in like it owns the place
Despair unexpectedly enters, dominating the situation.
Comes despair, slapping home in the face
Despair hits hard, making its presence felt strongly.
If the sky would just shut off its lights
If the world would become darker, I could find solace and rest.
I could sleep, I could sleep
I wish for peace, to sleep day and night.
All day and night
(Repetition of the desire for continuous sleep)
I can't stand this place
I still dislike my surroundings.
Got off the bus with a second-hand suitcase
I arrived with the same old suitcase, facing judgment from strangers.
I had it made, now strangers just whisper and stare
Although I once had a good situation, it has changed, and people stare as I wait for an uncertain opportunity.
As you wait for the narrow door with the damned
You wait for a chance, possibly indicating a sense of entrapment or limitation.
For the chance to be somebody´s man
You hope for an opportunity to prove yourself as someone's committed partner.
