What's It Like Now
Unveiling the Enigma: Mikky Ekko's Reflections in 'What's It Like Now'
Lyrics
What's it like now? Let's just say it's hard to remember, ooh ooh
Reflecting on the difficulty of remembering the past.
Every light's out, every store's open, I'm tender ooh ooh
Describing a situation where external signs contradict emotions (lights out, stores open).
You made me your prophet of stage
Acknowledging being positioned as a spokesperson or leader.
Say you shouldn't rattle your cage
Advising against causing disturbances or challenges.
Only to realize that I'm still living in the wide world
Realizing one's existence within a vast, unpredictable world.
What's it like now, what's it like now
Repetition emphasizing the query about the current state of things.
What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now? I become your favorite pretender, ooh ooh
Assuming the role of pretending to be someone's favorite.
Keep me tied down, keep your mind off of my temper, ooh ooh
Highlighting the need to control one's temper in the relationship.
One day then I'll laugh in your face
Anticipating a future moment of laughter in response to a specific situation.
You picture a pastor of grace
Imagining oneself as a figure of grace, possibly a religious reference.
Only to realize the future's still out in the wild
Recognizing that the future remains unpredictable and untamed.
I sleep in alleyways and waterfalls to find where I begin
Expressing a willingness to explore unconventional paths and experiences.
I see the future and the past
Claiming the ability to perceive both future and past events.
I feel the present caving in
Sensing the pressure of the current moment.
I wash my hands of it and trade it for a world inside my head
Choosing to detach from reality and opt for a personal, imaginative world.
Can't remember what you said
Facing difficulty in recalling past conversations or instructions.
What's it like now, what's it like now
Repetition of the question, maintaining the focus on the current state.
What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
Continued repetition, emphasizing the curiosity about the present.
What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
Persistent questioning about the current situation and its nature.
What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like now
-What's it like now, what's it like, what's it like
-Hey
Including casual expressions, possibly as an interjection or an attempt to get attention.
Hey
