Anybody Seen My Mind
Lost in a World of Noise: Seeking Clarity in Michael Franti's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Everybody wants to be what they want to be
Desire for personal fulfillment and autonomy
Everybody want to have a good time
Desire for enjoyment and pleasure
I just want to hang out with my peaceful itty bitty family
Wishing to spend time with a small, peaceful family
Playing sweet, sweet music with some friends of mine
Playing music joyfully with friends
But I try to fake it, I can't do it all the time
Struggling to pretend or deceive, unable to maintain it consistently
Try hard to break it, but it was just a waste of my time
Attempting to overcome something futilely
When I turn on my TV, seems like they're winning all the time.
Observation of prevalent success in the media
I pray to God to please show me a sign
Seeking guidance or a signal from a higher power
Has anybody seen my mind?
Repetition emphasizing the search for lost thoughts or stability
Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
-I would never ever leave you hanging on the corner with a problem
Commitment to support others in times of trouble
I would never ever leave you all alone
Assurance of not abandoning someone in need
I always wanted you to know that you could depend on me
Offering dependable support and reliability
When I come out to your place, I will never be without a home
Assuring a sense of belonging and security
But I try to fake it, I can't do it all the time
Struggling to maintain a false facade
Try hard to break it, but it was just a waste of my time
Efforts to overcome prove ineffective
When I turn on my TV, seems like they're winning all the time
Perception of constant success displayed in media
I pray to God to please show me a sign
Requesting guidance or validation from a higher power
Has anybody seen my mind?
Reiterating the quest for lost mental clarity or stability
Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
-I want you to walk with me now, talk with me now
Invitation for companionship and assurance of everything being fine together
Be with now, and everything is all right
-Walk with me now, talk with me now
-Be with now, and everything is all right
-Walk with me now, talk with me now
-Be with now, and everything is all right
-Walk with me now, talk with me now
-Be with now, and everything is all right
-I try to fake it, I can't do it all the time
Struggle with maintaining a false appearance
Try hard to break it, but it was just a waste of my time
Failure in attempts to overcome the struggle
When I turn on my TV, seems like they're winning all the time
Perception of constant success displayed in media
I pray to God to please show me a sign
Seeking guidance or validation from a higher power
Has anybody seen my mind?
Continued search or plea for the lost state of mind
Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
-Has anybody seen my mind?
