As Long as I Know My Name
Embracing the Unknown: As Long As I Know My Name by Magnus Bechmann
Lyrics
As Long As I Know My Name
Expressing the importance of self-awareness and identity.
Comfortable
Feeling at ease or content.
By the look in her eyes
Reading emotions or intentions through her eyes.
She doesn't care
She is indifferent or unconcerned.
To follow her own rules
Preferring to follow her own set of rules.
And I don't mind
The singer is accepting of her independence.
Praise the fool
Giving recognition to someone considered foolish and continuing to enjoy life.
And continue to laugh
Laughing in the face of challenges or difficulties.
For what it's worth
Despite challenges, life has inherent value.
We've known this forever
Acknowledging a longstanding truth or reality.
And I don't mind
The singer remains unperturbed by challenges.
To wake up in places
Finding oneself in unfamiliar places upon waking.
That I've never seen
Expressing a willingness to embrace the unknown.
As long as I know my name
Self-assurance in the face of uncertainty, anchored in knowing one's identity.
Simon says
Referring to a game where one must follow commands.
Things I don't understand
Encountering things that are confusing or unclear.
So here I am
The singer finds themselves in a state of confusion.
Wandering blindly
Navigating through life without a clear direction.
But I don't mind
Accepting and being okay with the lack of clarity.
Watch your step
Cautioning someone about potential hazards.
I don't want you to follow me in
Not wanting others to blindly imitate or follow.
I think I can manage
Confidence in managing challenges independently.
If you don't mind
Expressing a preference for self-reliance.
To stay out and wait here
Choosing to stay out and wait rather than lead others.
And soon I'll return
A promise to return after a period of waiting.
As long as I know my name
Reiterating the importance of self-awareness and identity.
To stay out and wait here
Choosing to wait and return instead of leading.
And soon I'll return
Reassuring a return after a period of absence.
As long as I know my name
Emphasizing the enduring significance of knowing one's identity.
