Open
Unveiling the Human Experience: Regina Spektor's 'Open'
Lyrics
I am
I exist
Down the road and up the hill
I am on a journey, facing challenges
I wait for you still
I continue to wait for someone
Wires 'round my fingers
I am entangled in complexities
Potentially lovely
Possibly beautiful
Perpetually human
Always human
Suspended and open
Existing in a state of suspension and openness
Open
Repeated emphasis on being open
Open
-I am
Continuation of existence and journey
Through the woods and past the trains
Moving through challenges and past experiences
I wait here in vain
Still waiting, perhaps in vain
Scrubbing out the stains again
Struggling to remove emotional marks
Potentially lovely
Potentially possessing beauty
Perpetually human
Consistently human
Suspended and open
Remaining in a state of suspension and openness
Open
Reiterated emphasis on being open
Open
-In a night, the snow starts falling
Describing a night with snowfall
And everybody stares
People observing the beauty outside
Through their windows at the streetlights
Looking through windows at streetlights
Too beautiful to see
Beauty too overwhelming to comprehend
I am
Existing in a self-made space
In a room I've built myself
Details of the constructed room
Four straight walls
-One floor
-One ceiling
-And day after day, I wake up feeling
Repetition of waking up with consistent emotions
Day after way feeling, feeling
-Potentially lovely
Possibly possessing beauty
Perpetually human
Always human
Suspended and open
Remaining in a state of suspension and openness
Open
Reiterated emphasis on being open
Open
-Open
-Open up
Encouragement to open one's perception
Your eyes
Specifically, open one's eyes
And then
Continuation or completion of a thought
