Echoes of Transformation: Matt Holubowski's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
There’s a man worth following
There’s a noteworthy person worth emulating or paying attention to.
He knows a thing or two about you
This person understands aspects of your character or life.
His mind is like a folding chair
The person’s mind is adaptable and portable.
You can take it anywhere
His mind can be carried anywhere and utilized when feeling overwhelmed by life’s burdens.
And use it when the weight of your affairs have humbled you so
When life becomes challenging, this mental flexibility can be helpful.
I hope that you know it
A hope that you recognize or understand this attribute.
Sometimes I forget
The singer sometimes forgets this valuable aspect.
That everyone around me metamorphasizes on a whim
People around the singer change unpredictably.
I don’t know
The singer doesn’t comprehend the true identity of individuals.
who anyone is
Uncertainty about the real nature of people.
I’m told that there’s a distance between who you are
There’s a gap between a person’s present self and their desired self.
and who you want to be
A perception that the difference lies more in potential paths not taken.
but how I see it
The singer worries consistently due to this.
it’s more who you are and who you could’ve been
Concern about the disparity between who someone is and who they might have become.
and that’s why I worry
The worry about this discrepancy consumes the singer.
about it all of the time
This concern is persistent.
Marked for the anointed
Feeling chosen or destined for a particular purpose.
It should’ve been you
There’s a sense that someone else should have had this destiny.
Locked into the mindset
Feeling confined by a fixed mindset or belief.
It could only be true
Believing in the absolute truth of a situation.
And when I see you lying there
Questioning what action should be taken when observing a person in a vulnerable state.
What is it I should do ?
Uncertainty about how to respond to vulnerability.
Grass grows by the inch, dies by our feet
Growth happens gradually, but destruction or loss occurs suddenly.
When go anywhere
An indifference towards the destination, emphasizing the need to move forward.
Just go anywhere, I don’t care
An urging to go anywhere without concern or preference.
Let’s just go, let’s go
Expressing a desire to move forward.
I’m weary, I am feeling dreary
Feeling tired and melancholic, echoing thoughts rather than originating them.
It’s not in my head I am an echo
Not just a mental state; echoes of past actions or decisions affect the present.
I must owe somebody royalties for all of my troubles
Feeling indebted or accountable for past difficulties.
Every room I spend my time in has no windows
A description of enclosed spaces lacking foresight or openness.
Sometimes it’s just better not to see too far ahead
At times, ignorance of the future can be advantageous.
For if you know now what you’d later know
Knowing too much about the future might lead to unwanted complications.
You may find a rabbit hole to get stuck in
Foreknowledge can lead to getting stuck in undesirable situations.
There’s nothing romantic about the fall of Rome
No glamour in the downfall of great empires or systems.
Can’t unring a bell, can’t undo a wrong
Actions and their consequences cannot be undone or forgotten.
