Who Are You Now
Unveiling the Self: "Who Are You Now" by Madison Cunningham
Lyrics
Doesn't it feel strange
Feeling a sense of unfamiliarity or discomfort
When you come you say it out loud?
Speaking openly when you arrive
Time to act your age
Time to behave maturely
No one's gonna show you how
No one will guide you
You said it's getting too late to change it now
Expressing a belief that it's too late for change
And the way you are is painted and drying out
Current state is set and irreversible
The mind has a way of building you up
The mind can elevate and then diminish self-esteem
To break you down
Building up only to break down
Who are you now?
Questioning one's identity at present
Who are you this time?
Repetition of the identity questioning theme
Who are you now?
Continuation of the identity questioning theme
Who are you this time?
Reiteration of questioning identity in the present
It's not the notes you play
Emphasizing the significance of implied actions
But all of the notes you imply
The importance of unspoken implications
Yeah, you know just what to say
Knowing what to say, even if not fully convinced
When you're not convinced that it's right
Doubts about the correctness of one's words
Do you moan for what is or for all that you had?
Mourning for the present or for lost opportunities
Do you wanna drive that car right onto the tracks?
Considering drastic actions in response to life's challenges
Well, anything worth loving and asking will drive you mad
The pursuit of love and answers can be maddening
Who are you now?
Repetition of the identity question, seeking clarity
Who are you this time?
Continued quest for self-identity
Who are you now?
Repeating the question in the context of the present
Who are you this time?
Continuing to seek understanding of oneself
Who are you now?
Reiteration of the ongoing search for identity
Who are you this time?
Continued exploration of the self
When did we all become sensible and love unfair?
Reflecting on when everyone became practical and love seemed unjust
Well, neither one will give you the time to prepare
Neither practicality nor love allows time for preparation
But this dance comes naturally once you put your feet there
Dance of life becomes natural once you engage
Who are you now?
Repeated inquiry into current identity
Who are you now?
Reiteration of the question about present self
Who are you this time?
Repetition of the ongoing identity exploration
