Be a Friend
Embracing Life's Essence: Give It All Away
Lyrics
Take the time just to sit back relax
Encouraging the listener to take a moment to relax and unwind.
Give me a moment just to review my facts
Requesting a brief pause to reflect on personal facts or experiences.
I had it all but I was missing love
Had material possessions but lacked love, prompting a decision to give everything away.
So I gave it all away
Choosing to relinquish all possessions in pursuit of a more meaningful life.
Everyday I put a suit and tie
Engaging in a conventional lifestyle, wearing a suit and tie daily.
Taught myself its right but that was a lie
Self-taught values that turned out to be deceptive or misleading.
Walked by the mirror and said who's that guy
Questioning one's identity upon seeing oneself in the mirror.
So I gave it all away
Continuing the theme of giving up material possessions.
And they said
Others' reactions to the decision to let go of possessions.
Whoa Whoa
Expressing a vocalization, possibly representing inner turmoil or conflict.
No cars No shoes No Job
Listing things absent from the speaker's life: cars, shoes, job.
Some laugh but I still thank God
Despite challenges, expressing gratitude to God.
I had I all but i was missing love
Reiterating the possession-rich but love-poor past.
So I gave it all away
Reaffirming the decision to give away everything for a more fulfilling life.
Now I have all I need
Current state of having all essential needs, embracing simplicity.
Its not much but that's fine by me
Content with having just enough, expressing satisfaction.
No stress just feeling free
Living stress-free and feeling liberated.
When I give it all away
Linking the feeling of freedom to the act of giving everything away.
Now I sing
Transitioning into a joyful singing phase.
Whoa Whoa
Repetition of vocalizations, possibly representing an emotional state.
They tell me to
Encouragement to go forward or pursue a path.
Go Go
Reinforcing the idea of moving ahead, possibly against resistance.
I say
Resisting external pressure or expectations.
No No
Choosing not to conform and insisting on staying true to oneself.
I'll just stand right here and just Be a Friend
Committing to stand by others as a friend.
If one day you need a break
Offering support for difficult times in the future.
Feeling like paradise is far away
When feeling distant from paradise, advising to remain courageous.
I hope you will remember to be brave
Encouraging bravery and a positive outlook in challenging situations.
And give it all away
Reiterating the theme of giving everything away for a better life.
Whoa Whoa Whoa
Intensifying the emotional expression with repeated vocalizations.
Whoa Whoa
Repeating the vocalization, possibly representing an emotional climax.
They said Go Go
Encouragement to move forward persistently.
I said No No No
Resisting external pressure and choosing not to move forward.
Wont you just Be a Friend
Emphasizing the value of being a friend rather than conforming to expectations.
Whoa Whoa
Repeating a vocalization, possibly representing an emotional state.
Yeah I gave it all away
Reflecting on the past act of giving everything away.
Whoa
Repeating a vocalization, possibly representing continued emotional intensity.
Now I have all I need
Reiterating the current state of having all essential needs.
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
Repeating a vocalization, possibly representing continued emotional intensity.
Wont you stand by me and just Be a Friend
Inviting others to stand by and be friends, concluding the song on a friendly note.
