Lyrics
It's the time to ask why
It is a moment to question the reasons behind things
Have I
Reflecting on personal experiences or actions
Lost the power of my youthful wonder emotion
Expressing a sense of losing the enthusiasm and curiosity of youth
Like, like the jesus freaks in the sidewalk
Comparing oneself to passionate individuals, possibly religious zealots on the street
They said to me, "I just wanna help you find yourself now, let me tell you.
Encountering advice from others who want to assist in self-discovery
I don't know bout the ways that go
Uncertainty about the paths one can take in life
Like a sideways dog
Metaphorically describing movement or progression
Rise and fall but in always flow
Life's ups and downs, but with a continuous and constant flow
If you fear that ahhhh
Expressing a feeling of anxiety or uncertainty
You lost the magic ball
Suggesting a loss of something precious, like the magic ball
Well it rolls it rolls it rolls"
Repetition of the rolling ball, emphasizing the sense of loss
It's the time to ask why
Reiterating the importance of questioning
Oh why have I
Continuation of personal reflection and questioning
Misplaced my sweater cuz umm it's the setting of the sun
Misplacing a symbolic item, possibly representing a loss of comfort or stability
Bow wow
A playful onomatopoeia, possibly representing joy or excitement
Just be the dog that keeps on wagging
Encouragement to maintain a positive and carefree attitude
Like, oh mama
Expressing a desire to break free and run, possibly metaphorical
I wanna run
Yearning for freedom or escape
I didn't know
Realization of not appreciating something until it's gone
What I had
Regret for not recognizing the value of what was possessed
Maybe don't seek the fire
Suggesting caution or hesitation towards passion or intensity
But I felt it
Acknowledging the experience of intense emotions
It's the meaning by design
Highlighting the significance of purposeful intent in life
You
Directing the message to someone specific
Take a part of me
Symbolic sharing or giving away a part of oneself
Home
A place of comfort and belonging
I belong to you
Expressing a connection and commitment to someone
I wanna let you know
Communicating a desire to convey important information
As the ball rolls in
As the symbolic ball of life moves forward
Don't grasp it from behind
Caution against trying to control or hold back the natural flow of life
