How Come
Unveiling Identity: Metaphorical Journey of Self-Perception
Lyrics
I'm a bird now
I've transformed into a bird
I fly loops around their words now
I confidently navigate around their spoken words
I can hide out in the branches of the tree I used to be
I can find shelter in the branches of the tree that I once was
Cause big as a tree I was
Previously, I was as significant as a tree
Biggest there could be I was
I was the largest possible version of myself
Tough my bark is paper thin and I'm unsteady in the wind
Although my outer strength is fragile, like paper-thin bark, and I'm unsteady in the wind
No one told the to stop
No one advised them to cease their actions
How Come?
Why is that?
How Come?
-No one told them to stop
No one instructed them to halt
How come?
Why is that?
How come?
-I'm turning into the waste
I'm transforming into waste or something of lesser value
They taught me I was
They convinced me I was
Big as a tree again
I'm once again as significant as a tree
Looking for places to flee again
Searching for places to escape once more
Trying to get lost out in the woods where I belong
Attempting to lose myself in the woods, my true home
So I'm turning the lights out
I'm turning off the lights
I'm taking my knife out
I'm using a knife
The only way to take a tree down is to make sure it meets the ground
The only way to bring down a tree is to ensure it falls to the ground
You tie a rope around the tree
You secure a rope around the tree
And cut the branches free
And detach the branches
No one told the to stop
No one advised them to cease their actions
How Come?
Why is that?
How Come?
-No one told them to stop
No one instructed them to halt
How come?
Why is that?
How come?
-I'm turning into the waste
I'm transforming into waste or something of lesser value
They taught me I was
They convinced me I was
