Something Special
Embracing Change: Striving for Something Special
Lyrics
What am I now?
Reflecting on personal identity and current state
Another boy becoming man
Transition from adolescence to adulthood
Who wants to change
Expressing a desire for personal growth and transformation
Who's not afraid
Embracing change without fear
I've had to run
Escaping a mundane and uninteresting life
From boring streets
Moving away from commonplace surroundings
And bitter priests
Rejecting conventional or dogmatic influences
From smoking gun
Avoiding conflict or trouble
And stern parade
Resisting conformity and strict authority
For when you're living on your own
Living independently without romantic or housing commitments
Without a girlfriend or a home
Susceptibility to gossip and speculation
People speculate
People making assumptions about the individual
But I'm much stronger than them
Asserting inner strength and resilience
I want to be something special
Expressing a desire to achieve something exceptional
I want to be something special
Reiteration of the aspiration to be unique or extraordinary
Now I play the London game
Engaging in a challenging urban lifestyle
A hand-to-mouth existence
Living on the edge with limited resources
Till someone calls my name
Anticipating recognition or opportunity
I want it now
Expressing urgency and determination
My chance has come
Seizing the current opportunity
And I will grab it
Emphasizing determination to bring about change
Just to change
Desire to alter personal characteristics or circumstances
The way I am
Understanding the need for self-improvement
I understand
Acknowledging comprehension of life's plans
The plans you make
Considering and making future plans
The risks you take
Acknowledging and embracing risks
The way you can
Recognizing one's capabilities
When you're a man
Asserting maturity and independence as a man
And if I sometimes have to do
Willingness to pursue lifelong aspirations
The things I've always wanted to
Unwavering commitment to personal goals
I won't shy away
Not avoiding challenges or difficult tasks
Because I'm much harder than that
Confidence and resilience in facing obstacles
I want to be something special
Reiteration of the desire to be exceptional
I want to be something special
Reaffirming the aspiration to stand out
Now I play the London game
Continuation of an urban, challenging lifestyle
A hand-to-mouth existence
Surviving with limited means until recognized
Till someone calls my name
Anticipation of being acknowledged or called upon
