Lyrics
Woke up
Waking up
Fell down
Falling down, experiencing challenges or setbacks
Looked for a purpose all over town
Searching for a purpose in various places
I was dying to find myself
Expressing a strong desire to discover one's true self
Came up empty handed what the fuck’s that all about
Feeling disappointed or unfulfilled despite efforts
Oh I got a name
Declaration of having an identity
(What’s your name?)
Questioning for the other person's name
Oh, yes I got a name
Reiteration of having a name
My parents called me Olen
Introduction of the artist's given name
And I’m still trying to figure out what that means to me
Expressing ongoing self-discovery and the significance of the given name
Good heart
Contrasting a good heart with a challenging mind
Bad brain
Acknowledging struggles in decision-making or thoughts
Francis tells me I can still change
Reference to the possibility of personal transformation, influenced by advice from Francis
I’m trying to listen, everyone shouts
Attempting to heed advice, but facing external noise and confusion
They tell me to calm down I don’t know what they’re talking ‘bout
Feeling misunderstood or unable to follow the advice given
I haven’t peaked yet
Not having reached one's peak or full potential
Cuz I haven’t done my best
Linking the lack of peak achievement to not giving one's best effort
But when I finally do
Anticipating a future moment of success or accomplishment
I’ll still be filled with regret
Expecting to still feel regret despite future success
But, oh I got a name
Reaffirming the possession of an identity (name)
Oh, yes I’ve got a name
Reiteration of having a name
