Child of the World
Awakening the Child Within: Nick Rolser's Journey of Rediscovery
Lyrics
You came into this world without any sense of control
You entered this world without control or agency.
But they built you up and then gave you your own heavy load
Others shaped you but burdened you with your own challenges.
So now you run around like that chicken you are
You now act impulsively or aimlessly, like a chaotic chicken.
Head on your shoulders, you don't like to look far
Your focus is limited, avoiding distant perspectives.
Drive by the beach one night, look at the stars
Driving by the beach, you experience a moment of introspection.
And then suddenly you feel it
Suddenly, you sense something significant.
It's been so in your face
A revelation has been evident but challenging to comprehend.
You could hardly let it all in
Difficulty in fully grasping the reality presented.
Just a warm embrace
An emotional connection, perhaps reminiscent of maternal warmth.
Like the one that your mother would give
A comforting embrace, similar to a mother's care.
When you were a child
Recalling a time from childhood, a vulnerable and innocent phase.
When you were a child
Reiteration of the innocence associated with childhood.
A child of the world
Identifying oneself as a child belonging to the broader world.
Stuck in my house, just sitting here wishing it might burn
Feeling stuck, contemplating a symbolic burning or change.
The lights are all low and now winter has taken it's turn
The setting is somber, with low lights marking a winter phase.
But I've waited my time, now's the time to choose
A moment of decision, having waited for the right time.
I gave up everything so there's nothing to lose
Sacrifices made, embracing a risk-taking attitude.
You played the part well and forgot who you are
Having played a role but losing self-awareness.
Now suddenly, you remember
A sudden recollection of one's true identity.
It's been so in your face
A persistent revelation, challenging to fully internalize.
You could hardly let it all in
Struggling to absorb the evident truth.
Just a warm embrace
An emotional connection, akin to maternal warmth.
Like the one that your mother would give
A comforting embrace, reminiscent of maternal care.
When you were a child
Reflecting on the innocence of childhood.
When you were a child
Reiteration of the innocence associated with childhood.
A child of the world
Identifying oneself as a child belonging to the broader world.
Your hell-bent on having your own private heaven on earth
Persistently seeking personal happiness on Earth.
The truth has been lying and living through all of your words
Realizing the truth within one's spoken words.
And underneath faces plagued by disguise
Concealing true emotions behind deceptive faces.
A peace like a river sees to your demise
A false sense of peace leading to one's downfall.
Just look in the mirror and deep in your eyes
Encouraging self-reflection by looking into one's eyes.
You'll know I've always been here
A constant, unchanging presence in one's life.
It's been so in your face
A persistent revelation, challenging to fully internalize.
You could hardly let it all in
Struggling to absorb the evident truth.
Just a warm embrace
An emotional connection, akin to maternal warmth.
Like the one that your mother would give
A comforting embrace, reminiscent of maternal care.
When you were a child
Reflecting on the innocence of childhood.
When you were a child
Reiteration of the innocence associated with childhood.
A child of the world
Identifying oneself as a child belonging to the broader world.
