Lyrics
There was a boy
Introduction of a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
Describing the boy as mysterious and magical
They say he wandered very far, very far
Indicates the boy's extensive travels
Over land and sea
Emphasizes the vastness of the boy's journey
It's a
Transition in the song structure
Short beat so they put it on repeat
Reference to a repeated musical beat
Writing every rhyme right before I got to sleep
Creation process of writing lyrics before sleep
Simple for me when its the language that I speak
Expressing ease in communicating through language
Luckily it seems their the songs that you need
Recognition that certain songs resonate with listeners
And I'm happy to provide
Expressing willingness to share and provide comfort
And I just hope, even if it's just a line
Hoping even a single line can make a positive impact
When your standing on the edge I can talk you down from suicide
Offering support to those struggling with suicidal thoughts
Because it's never just another life
Emphasizing the uniqueness of each life
Perfection in the difference
Highlighting the beauty in diversity
Diversity is boiled down to numbers and statistics
Criticizing the reduction of diversity to statistics
Sadistic this sickness is spreading
Commenting on the negative impact of a spreading sickness
Coping and depending
Describing coping mechanisms and dependence on devices
On all of these devices
Dependency on technological devices
Constantly pretending
Observation of pretending despite inner struggles
That they're working
Commenting on the apparent pain behind the facade
When we know their hurting
Recognition of hidden pain in society
Burning through the youth at a pace that is concerning
Concern about the rapid depletion of youth
Suffocating truth learning just to make an earning
Highlighting the compromise of truth for financial gain
Melting in the pot ever wonder who is stirring
Metaphorical stirring and questioning the instigators
Huh, I wonder if they heard me
Expressing uncertainty about being heard
There was a boy
Reiteration of the introduction of the boy
On a journey
Emphasizing the boy's journey
Tryna find the wording so that this will stop occurring
Seeking the right words to address recurring issues
Send us of to war but not many are returning
Reflection on the casualties of war and limited returns
Say that we're defending in the hope of re assuring
Cynical view on defense and reassurance in war
But it's Hard to be assured when it Clearly isn't working
Expressing doubt about the effectiveness of current approaches
And we've been singing it for centuries
Noting the long-standing nature of societal issues
Sentimental letters for the widows of your enemys
Recognition of the impact on families through letters
Running out of ink not to mention running out of trees
Highlighting environmental concerns and resource depletion
Searching for god she's in the leaves
Metaphorically finding divinity in nature
So take a walk out in the grass
Encouraging contemplation in nature
Think about the questions they don't want you to ask
Promoting critical questioning of societal norms
Like who the fuck bought the land of the earth in the past
Raising questions about land ownership and its commercialization
And then decided they could sell it to us for whatever they ask
Commenting on prioritizing money over essential needs
Money first for the food or you starve
Emphasizing the urgency of meeting basic needs
Hoping for a dream but not caring for the craft
Contrasting dreams with practical necessities
Hope that you can see that societies a farce
Pointing out the deceptive nature of society
If we wanna make a change then we better do it fast
Advocating for prompt action to bring about change
