I Want Out
Seeking Freedom: Challenging Norms & Embracing Independence
Lyrics
From our lives' beginning on
Reflecting on life from the beginning
We are pushed in little forms
Constrained into societal norms
No one asks us how we like to be
Lack of consideration for personal preferences
In school they teach you what to think
Schools dictate what to think
But everyone says different things
Contradictory advice from various sources
But they're all convinced that
Confident individuals each claiming insight
They're the ones to see
Belief in personal superiority
So they keep talking and they never stop
Continuous chatter without cessation
And at a certain point you give it up
Resignation after enduring incessant talk
So the only thing that's left to think is this
Only personal thoughts remain
To live my life alone
Desire for solitary existence
(I want out)
Expressing a strong wish to break free
Leave me be (I want out)
Pleading for freedom from interference
To do things on my own (I want out)
Emphasizing the need for independent actions
To live my life and to be free
Yearning to live freely
People tell me a and b
Others imposing viewpoints 'a' and 'b'
They tell me how I have to see
Mandating how one should perceive
Things that I have seen already clear
Already clear perceptions dismissed
So they push me then from side to side
Being pushed between opposing views
They're pushing me from black to white
Forced into extremes of black and white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
Pushed until nothing more to hear
But don't push me to the maximum
Resistance against being pushed to the limit
Shut your mouth and take it home
Advocating for silence and introspection
'Cause I decide the way things gonna be
Insisting on personal control over destiny
To live my life alone (I want out)
Reiterating the desire for solitude
Leave me be (I want out)
Pleading to be left alone
To do things on my own (I want out)
Stressing the importance of self-reliance
To live my life and to be free
Reaffirming the quest for freedom in life
There's a million ways to see the things in life
Highlighting diverse perspectives in life
A million ways to be the fool
Acknowledging myriad ways to make mistakes
In the end of it, none of us is right
No one possesses absolute truth
Sometimes we need to be alone
Recognition of the necessity for solitude
