Lyrics
My life was once a joy to me,
Life used to bring joy.
Never knowing, I was growing, everyday.
Unaware of personal growth occurring daily.
My life was once a toy to me,
Life was like a toy, manageable.
And I wound it and I found it ran away.
Lost control of life’s direction.
So I raced through the night
Ran swiftly through experiences.
with a face at my feet, like a god I would write,
Feeling superior, powerful.
All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white.
Enjoyed pleasant music and relationships, likely racial connotation.
It was easy to survive, my life was so alive.
Survival was effortless, life vibrant.
My life was once a flag to me
Life represented something to rally behind.
And I waved it and behaved like I was told.
Acted as society dictated, conforming.
My life was once a drag to me
Life became burdensome.
And I loudly, and I proudly, lost control
Rebelled openly and proudly.
I was drawn by a dream
Attracted by an enticing dream.
I was loved by a lie, every serf on the scene
Believed in a comforting lie, deceived by society.
Begged me to buy.
People pleaded for involvement in his life.
But I slipped through the scheme
Escaped societal pressures and expectations.
So lucky to fail
Fortunate to not succumb to societal norms.
My life was not for sale.
Refused to compromise life for material gain.
My life is now a myth to me
Life became an enigmatic tale.
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn.
Life mirrored a wanderer's transient laughter at dawn.
My life is now a death to me
Life felt like a demise.
So I'll mold it and I'll hold it till I'm born
Will shape and grasp control for a new beginning.
So I turned to the land
Turning towards an unfamiliar territory or situation.
Where I'm so out of place
Feeling out of sync with the environment.
Throw a curse on the plan
Rejecting established plans or norms.
In return for the grace
Seeking grace by breaking away from societal expectations.
To know where I stand
Desire for clarity regarding one’s position.
Take everything I own
Willing to relinquish possessions.
Take your tap from my phone
Requesting privacy by removing external intrusion.
And leave my life alone
Yearning for personal autonomy.
My life alone.
Wants to live independently.
