Lyrics

I look at my friends

Reflecting on friends and their growth

Everybody's growing up we try to pretend

Pretending to keep up with maturity

We're pulling it together but I know at the end

Struggling despite efforts, uncertain about the outcome

I know I know nothing

Acknowledging lack of knowledge

I know I have nothing

Acknowledging lack of possessions

I know that I'm nothing to be bragging about

Recognizing personal shortcomings

I spend all my life just tryna figure it out

Lifetime spent in self-discovery

But just like this degree I'll probably never learn nothing

Doubting the value of education

I know I know nothing

Reiterating lack of knowledge

I feel like I'm nothing at all

Feeling insignificant

So

Transition to the next part of the narrative

What's the message

Raising questions about the purpose or meaning

Isn't everything supposed to be some type of lesson

Questioning the concept that everything is a lesson

I remember learning that my fate is in my hands

Recalling the idea of controlling one's destiny

I don't think I understand

Expressing confusion and doubt

Cause it's nothing like it's supposed to be

Contrasting reality with expectations

And what's the issue

Seeking the root cause of discontent

Cause I'm not feeling any bit of better than I used to

Not experiencing improvement

Every single word is getting worse

Describing a worsening situation

I know

Acknowledging personal struggles

Not the first

Recognizing universality of struggles

I'm sure it's just human

Acknowledging humanity and limitations

God I'm just human

Reiterating human vulnerability

I swear that I

Swearing to something uncertain

I don't know what I

Uncertain about personal identity

Two hundred thousands walls

Large number of barriers or challenges

But my love still calls

Love persists despite challenges

Though I come so far

Feeling stagnant despite progress

I still feel like I never moved at all

Expressing a lack of significant movement

I swear that I

Uncertainty about past actions

Been waiting I

Longing or anticipating

Been chasing every moment

Pursuing every fleeting moment

I don't know what I

Uncertainty about personal understanding

Don't know cause I been learning on my own

Learning independently

Two hundred thousand walls

Reiteration of numerous obstacles

But my love still calls

Love persists despite challenges (repeated)

Though I come so far

Feeling stagnant despite progress (repeated)

I still feel like I never moved at all

Expressing a lack of significant movement (repeated)
