Lyrics
You see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy,
You feel confident and content with yourself, sitting atop a situation.
But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free.
Despite being bailed out by your parents, you don't feel truly liberated.
You're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all.
School is mundane and disappointing compared to your expectations.
Trouble is not the answer. I know what you want to know:
Emphasizes that trouble is not the solution, and the speaker understands your curiosity.
Slow down;
Slow down; a call for a more deliberate pace in life.
Why you wanna move so fast?
Questioning the rush, suggesting a need for patience.
Why you wanna walk so far?
Why the haste? Encourages reflection on the need for distant journeys.
I think I know what you want.
The speaker believes they understand your desires.
Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win.
Your father manipulates, expecting to win a harmful game.
In order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him.
Avoiding engagement is the key to not losing in the game.
Anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth.
Positive actions contribute to your history and wealth.
You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself:
Anticipating a moment of self-reflection when you question your choices.
Slow down;
Reiteration of the need to slow down and contemplate.
Why you wanna move so fast?
Questioning the rush once again.
Why you wanna walk so far?
Repeating the question about the need for distant journeys.
Wait and find out who you are
Suggesting that self-discovery is crucial for lasting success.
And how you're gonna make it last.
Emphasizes the importance of understanding oneself for long-term success.
Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name.
Change is imminent; a play on words with a call to redefine oneself.
Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train.
Fed up with emotional ups and downs, suggesting a need to change course.
And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely,
If you feel lost, lonely, the speaker wants you to know your significance.
I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me.
An expression of deep emotional connection and value for the person.
