Walk Out
Embracing Change: Matthew Sweet's Journey to Authenticity
Lyrics
When you look into a mirror
Contemplating self-reflection in a mirror
The reflection that you see
The image in the mirror is a diminished version of the past self
Is a shell of what you were
The current state is a mere outer layer, not the desired self
It's not who you want to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the present identity
But you're gonna change
Commitment to undergo a significant change
You've just about made up your mind
A firm decision to transform
(You're gonna change)
Reiteration of the impending change
You're gonna change
Confirmation of the resolution to change
And when you leave it all behind
Leaving behind the current state
What will the past remember?
Reflecting on what the past will retain
What will the future bring?
Anticipation of uncertainties in the future
When you walk out
Addressing the act of walking out or leaving
When you walk out
Repetition for emphasis on departing
You were brought into this world
Introduction to life with potential and ideas
With a head full of good ideas
Initial existence with creative thoughts
But the person you became
The current self diverging from the original intentions
Well you just couldn't be for real
Questioning the authenticity of the present self
But you're gonna change
Reaffirmation of the commitment to change
You've just about made up your mind
Nearing a final decision to transform
(You're gonna change)
Reiteration of the imminent change
You're gonna change
Affirmation of the decision to change
And when you leave it all behind
Leaving the past behind as part of the transformation
What will the past remember?
Concerns about how the past will be remembered
What will the future bring?
Contemplation about the uncertainties the future holds
When you walk out
Reiteration of the act of walking out
When you walk out
Emphasis on the departure
But you're gonna change
Reaffirmation of the commitment to change
You've just about made up your mind
Nearing a final decision to transform
(You're gonna change)
Reiteration of the imminent change
You're gonna change
Affirmation of the decision to change
And when you leave it all behind
Leaving the past behind as part of the transformation
What will the past remember?
Concerns about how the past will be remembered
What will the future bring?
Contemplation about the uncertainties the future holds
When you walk out
Reiteration of the act of walking out
When you walk out
Emphasis on the departure
When you walk out
Repetition for emphasis on departing
When you walk out
-When you walk out
