Long Time
Finding Peace: Paul Weller's Journey through Urban Blues
Lyrics
(For such a long time)
Expressing the duration of a challenging period
I couldn't find myself
Struggling to understand one's identity
(For such a long time)
Highlighting the extended duration of the struggle
Thought I was somebody else
Feeling a disconnect from one's true self
(For such a long time)
Emphasizing the prolonged search for inner peace
I couldn't find no peace
Describing a period of inner turmoil
For such a long time, long time
Repetition of the duration, underscoring the significance
(For such a long time)
Expressing difficulty in identifying emotional states
I couldn't place the mood
Unable to determine or understand one's emotional state
(For such a long time)
Reiteration of the prolonged struggle with identity
My feet did not fit my shoes
Feeling a mismatch between oneself and external appearance
(For such a long time)
Experiencing a prolonged period of urban blues, a metaphor for challenges
I had dem urban blues
Conveying the enduring nature of the urban blues
For such a long time, long time
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged struggle
For such a long time, long time
Continued emphasis on the enduring nature of challenges
For such a long time, long time
Highlighting the persistent nature of the difficulties
(For such a long time)
Feeling adrift and confused over an extended period
I felt so lost and confused
Reiterating the prolonged sense of being lost
(For such a long time)
Expressing a desire to escape or detach from the situation
I only wanted to lose
Repeating the prolonged desire to escape
(For such a long time)
Emphasizing the persistence of the desire to escape
There was no way I'd refuse
Underscoring the difficulty in resisting the escape
For such a long time, long time
Repetition emphasizing the enduring struggle
For such a long time, long time
Continued emphasis on the prolonged nature of the challenges
For such a long time, long time
Highlighting the persistence of the difficulties
For such a long time, long time, long time, long time
Reiteration and elongation of the enduring nature of the struggle
