Familiar
Breaking Free from Echoes of the Past: Maria Neckam's 'Familiar' Insights
Lyrics
I don't want another college love
I want to avoid experiencing another love like one in college.
They never end well
College loves have a history of not ending well.
I don't want another dream-come-true
I don't desire another dream that seems perfect but falls apart in reality.
They never make it in day light
Dreams that seem perfect often don't withstand the challenges of the real world.
I don't need another failed attempt
I don't need another unsuccessful attempt to fill a void from my childhood.
To fill a childhood gap
Attempts to fill childhood gaps have failed before.
I am planning to release myself
I am planning to free myself from the weight of my past.
From the burden of my past
There's a burden from the past that needs to be released.
It would be so easy
Repeating past mistakes would be effortless.
It would be so easy
Emphasizing the ease of falling back into familiar patterns.
It would be so easy to repeat -peat -peat
Repeating past actions or behaviors would be incredibly easy.
It would be so easy
Reiteration of the ease of falling back into familiar patterns.
It would be so easy
Highlighting the simplicity of repeating past mistakes.
It would be so easy
Emphasizing the ease of falling back into the familiar.
So familiar
The familiarity mentioned is likely referring to repeating patterns or behaviors.
I don't want another soul to save
I don't want someone else relying on me to save them.
So I could hide from my life
Seeking to avoid using relationships as a way to escape from life's challenges.
I don't want another half-made man
I don't desire a man who is not complete or genuine.
That wants to find truth in my eyes
Avoiding individuals who seek truth in a superficial way.
I don't need another self-proclaimed strong man
I don't need someone who claims strength but lacks authenticity.
That really isn't
Pointing out the discrepancy between claimed strength and actual strength.
I am tired of slowing down
Expressing fatigue from slowing down for the sake of a relationship.
So we could hold on real tight
Prioritizing holding on tightly in a relationship over slowing down.
O-oh I'm tired...
Expressing weariness or exhaustion.
It would be so easy
Repeating the notion that it would be easy to fall back into old habits.
It would be so easy
Highlighting the simplicity of repeating past actions or behaviors.
It would be so easy to repeat -peat -peat
Reiteration of the ease of falling back into familiar patterns.
It would be so easy
Emphasizing the ease of repeating past mistakes.
It would be so easy
Reiterating the simplicity of falling back into familiar patterns.
It would be so easy
Emphasizing the ease of repeating past actions or behaviors.
So familiar
Repeating the theme of familiarity and the ease of returning to the known.
O-oh, o-oh, o-oh, o-oh...
Repeating a vocal expression, perhaps indicating internal conflict or struggle.
