Lyrics
You’re feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling a sense of isolation and sadness.
Quiet life is not for you
Expressing discomfort with a quiet and uneventful life.
And your soul seems to die
Feeling a sense of inner death or stagnation.
It wanna fly ,it wanna fly
Desire for freedom and a wish to break free from constraints.
You don’t fit in this small town
Feeling out of place and disconnected in a small town.
And it really brings you down
Experiencing emotional distress due to not fitting in.
Pack your things in a carpetbag
Symbolic representation of leaving one's current life behind.
Leave the town and don’t look back
Encouragement to move forward without dwelling on the past.
Your parents never wanna lose you
Parental concern for the person's well-being.
And you have never left ’em to this day
Acknowledgment of never having left one's parents until now.
But such a deed is gonna prove you
Suggesting that taking a bold step will demonstrate strength.
You’re strong enough to go your own way
Asserting the individual's capability to choose their own path.
Big city lights at the end of your tunnel
Symbolizing hope and opportunity in the bustling city.
Open your eyes, it’s real, you’re still alive
Encouragement to recognize reality and appreciate being alive.
Big city lights... You’re very young now
Reiteration of the allure of city lights for a youthful person.
Big city lights... You’ll find a reason
Expressing confidence in finding a purpose or motivation in the city.
Feeling lonely, feeling down
Reiteration of feelings of loneliness and sadness.
With a lotta friends around
Contrast between loneliness and the presence of many friends.
Listen to your burning heart
Encouragement to listen to one's passionate and determined heart.
Make a start, come make a start
Prompt to take action and initiate change.
What a new day’s morning brings?
Raising the question of what each new day brings.
You need room to spread your wings
Highlighting the need for space and freedom to grow.
Idleness is killing you
Stressing the negative impact of idleness on well-being.
Tell me what you’re gonna do
Prompting a contemplation of future actions.
You know that you’re a child no longer
Acknowledging the transition from childhood to adulthood.
Not what your parents wanted you to be
Recognition of deviating from parental expectations.
You’re growing up, you’re growing stronger
Acknowledging personal growth and strength.
You’re doing right you gotta make ’em see
Emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself.
