Somebody New
Embracing Change: A Night of Transformation with Rance Lazarus
Lyrics
As people keep driving to places I dreamed off
Describing the continual movement of people towards destinations the singer once envisioned.
I'll still be hiding in a safe place that I call home
Expressing a preference for staying in the comfort and safety of their own home.
It's what I call home
Reaffirmation that home is a secure and comforting place for the singer.
I'll stare at the paintings of birds flying high
Reflecting on observing paintings of birds soaring in the sky.
There's no time for waiting
Emphasizing the urgency of not wasting time.
Reminds us how free we could be
Contemplating the idea of freedom hinted at by the sight of birds flying.
How free we could be
Repeating the notion of the potential freedom being hinted at.
So I'll step outside
Deciding to step outside.
And look at the stars again
Intending to gaze at the stars once more.
I can't watch my life
Feeling a disconnect from actively participating in their own life.
Play out from my windowpane
Watching life passively from a distance, perhaps through a window.
This is the night
Declaring the current moment as significant.
I'll say my goodbyes
Preparing to bid farewell.
It's time to keep an open mind
Embracing a mindset shift towards openness.
And leave my old self behind
Ready to leave behind their past self.
Will I wake up feeling like somebody new?
Questioning whether they'll awaken transformed or changed.
Somebody new
Repetition emphasizing the desire for a new identity or experience.
Somebody new
-Somebody new
-This is the night
Reiteration of the significant moment of departure.
I'll say my goodbyes
Reiterating the intention to bid farewell.
It's time to keep an open mind
Reaffirming the readiness to embrace change.
And leave my old self behind
Reiteration of leaving the past self behind.
Say what you want
Encouraging others to speak their mind without harmful intent.
I know you mean no harm
Acknowledging that others' words are not meant to hurt.
It's time to show my real face
Committing to revealing one's true self.
And make sure my steps can't be retraced
Determined to take steps forward that cannot be retraced.
Will I wake up feeling like somebody new?
Repeating the earlier question about waking up transformed.
