You Already Knew
Discovering Self: Marco Aziel's Reflection on Individuality
Lyrics
Oh, I'm nothing special
Feeling inadequate, the speaker considers themselves unremarkable
And knowing that don't make me special either
Acknowledging that recognizing their lack of uniqueness doesn't set them apart
So what can I say to you
Expressing uncertainty about what meaningful message they can convey
To make this song worth listening to?
Questioning the value of the song and seeking a way to make it worthwhile
Nothing, I'm just talking to myself here
Admitting to self-reflection and realizing the internal nature of the conversation
If I play the same instrument
Contemplating the limitations of sharing common musical elements with others
And I play the same chords
Questioning personal contribution when using the same musical elements
And I sing in the same language
Highlighting similarities in language and expression with others
Using the same words
Reflecting on the potential lack of uniqueness in using common words
What have I to contribute?
Pondering the value of their creative output in a shared artistic space
And I guess it's kinda stupid
Recognizing the foolishness in assuming a consistent identity over time
To think I'd be this person forever
Contemplating personal growth and change, questioning permanence
Maybe it's my ego
Suggesting that ego may play a role in their perception of self
I'll be so many people before I die
Anticipating multiple transformations throughout their lifetime
And I thought I had discovered
Believing to have found something significant, a moment of discovery
Something incredibly important
Realizing the lack of importance in the discovered aspect
And now I'm feeling foolish
Feeling regretful or embarrassed about their initial perception
'Cause you already knew this
Acknowledging that the listener already possesses the knowledge presented
Yeah you already knew
Confirming the listener's awareness of the speaker's lack of uniqueness
That I'm nothing special
Reiterating the speaker's sense of being ordinary
And knowing that don't make me special either
Emphasizing that awareness of their ordinariness doesn't set them apart
So what can I say to you
Expressing the challenge of making the song meaningful to the listener
To make this song worth listening to?
Persisting in the quest to find a way to make the song worthwhile
Nothing, I'm just talking to myself here
Reiterating the internal nature of the dialogue, acknowledging the challenge
