Lyrics
I spewed my mind when I was spoken to
I expressed my thoughts when addressed
can’t reconcile with my own loathing
Unable to make peace with self-hatred
in foreign tongues
In languages unknown to me
and from different shores
From distant places
another reality
An alternate reality
let go
Encouragement to release and let go
let go
-I am the constant stranger
Identifying as a perpetual outsider
let go
Continued emphasis on letting go
let go
-even a guest among my family
Feeling like a stranger even among family
arriving somewhere
Reaching an unspecified destination
I cannot see beyond the gloam
Unable to see beyond the darkness
arriving somewhere
Arriving somewhere
stranding in the unknown
Stranded in the unknown
like stone
Like a heavy, unyielding object
breathing
Continued existence, breathing
weighing me down
Weighed down by life's burdens
life alone
Isolation in life
living
Existence and its weight
weighing on me
Bearing down on the individual
unclenching my lips
Relaxing one's lips, opening up
I try to read your intentions
Attempting to understand others' intentions
knowing you fear the vagrant
Awareness of the fear of the unknown
pretend to know
Pretending to know what others desire to hear
what you want me to say
Stuck in the middle of expressing oneself
stuck mid-sentence
A silent emptiness
the quiet hollow
Encouragement to release and let go
let go
Continued emphasis on letting go
let go
-I am the constant stranger
Identifying as a perpetual outsider
let go
Continued emphasis on letting go
let go
-I am just a guest
Acknowledging being a transient visitor
I’m never meant to stay
Not meant to stay in one place
arriving somewhere
Reaching an unspecified destination
i cannot see beyond the gloam
Unable to see beyond the darkness
arriving somewhere
Arriving somewhere
stranding in the unknown
Stranded in the unknown
like stone
Like a heavy, unyielding object
breathing
Continued existence, breathing
is weighing me down
Weighed down by life's burdens
life alone
Isolation in life
living
Existence and its weight
weighing on me
Bearing down on the individual
I am the vagrant
Identifying as a vagrant
I am the vagrant
-I am the stranger
Identifying as a stranger
I am the stranger
-I am the constant vagrant
Emphasizing perpetual vagrancy and strangeness
I am the constant stranger
-I am the constant vagrant
Reiteration of constant vagrancy and strangeness
I am the constant stranger
-I am
Reiterating the identity as a constant vagrant and stranger
