Lyrics
A double emotion I
A sense of conflicting emotions
Have never experienced it before
Expressing a novel and unprecedented experience
Tonight, I feel
Sensing a change or transformation tonight
Something's changing
Awareness of a significant shift happening
They say “there's no time to waste”
Advice or common belief emphasizing the urgency of time
Time, again
Repetition of the theme of time
In this pleasant place
Describing the current setting as pleasant
There's so many people here
Observing a crowded environment
It's hard to breathe
Feeling overwhelmed in a crowded space
I need my hug
Expressing a need for comfort or support
Some air, my cat… silence, please!
Seeking moments of quiet and solitude
I have always done everything they asked me I
Adherence to societal expectations and obligations
Never really wanted to want
Lack of personal desires or aspirations
And I wonder if I can really want
Questioning the capacity to desire something significant
Something important
Contemplating the possibility of wanting something important
I have always done everything they asked me, I
Continuation of conformity to external expectations
Never wondered what I really wanted
Never exploring personal desires or wants
I've never had a mission
Never having a clear purpose or goal in life
Excited and afraid
Feeling a mix of anticipation and fear about a mission
So these are the places that
Reflecting on places that mark a separation from the past
Separated me from my past
Symbolic places representing a personal transformation
I met a man
Encountering a man with a mission
A mission he needs
A man seeking a purpose or goal
He's not happy but he smiles
Noticing a paradox of unhappiness masked by a smile
At least he tries
Acknowledging the effort to stay positive despite challenges
Alone as I am, should I tell him the truth
Considering whether to share personal truths about roots
‘Bout my roots?
Contemplating openness about personal origins
I see he's torn, we look alike
Recognizing similarities with the man
What should I do?
Uncertainty about the appropriate course of action
I have always done everything they asked me I
Reiteration of conforming to external expectations
Never really wanted to want
Repeating the lack of personal desires
And I wonder if I can really want
Questioning the capability to desire something important
Something important
Repeating the contemplation of wanting something significant
I have always done everything they asked me, I
Reiterating conformity to external expectations
Never wondered what I really wanted
Repeating the lack of exploration of personal desires
I've never had a mission
Repeating the absence of a clear purpose or goal
Excited and afraid
Repeating the mix of anticipation and fear about a mission
I have always done everything they asked me I
Reiterating adherence to societal expectations
Never really wanted to want
Repeating the lack of personal desires or aspirations
And I wonder if I can really want
Repeating the question about the capacity to desire something significant
Something important
Repeating the contemplation of wanting something important
I have always done everything they asked me, I
Reiterating adherence to external expectations
Never wondered what I really wanted
Repeating the lack of exploration of personal desires
I've never had a mission, an aim
Reiterating the absence of a clear mission or aim
And together it could be better
Suggesting the potential for improvement through collaboration
