That's You
Discovering Life's Essence: That's You by Ryan & Willie
Lyrics
When you tell yourself something is bound to begin
Expressing anticipation or uncertainty about the beginning of something.
Or maybe it's finished and through
Suggesting a possibility that the situation has either concluded or reached its end.
You just hope there's more out there, whatever it is
Expressing a desire for more opportunities or experiences, regardless of their nature.
After all, that's all that's you
Emphasizing individuality and selfhood as the core essence.
And the sun seems to pale
Describing a sense of diminishing brightness or enthusiasm, possibly linked to failure.
Every day that you fail
Highlighting a recurring sense of disappointment or setback.
To bring in the best you can do
Encouraging the effort to bring forth the best possible outcomes despite challenges.
That's all, that's you
Reiterating the importance of individual effort and identity.
When your eyes are like diamonds on the side of the road
Comparing the eyes to diamonds, possibly signifying value or uniqueness.
You say you got nothing to lose
Claiming a lack of attachments or risks, implying a fearless attitude.
And you find yourself whining for there's nowhere to go
Expressing a feeling of aimlessness and dissatisfaction.
And you're scared of facing the truth
Acknowledging a fear of confronting the reality or truth of a situation.
And the world seems to fold
Describing a collapse or downturn in the world, possibly metaphorical.
Cause there's nothing to hold
Emphasizing a lack of stability or support.
And sometimes you hope it's not true
Expressing a hopeful desire that a negative situation isn't true.
That's all, that's you
Reiterating the central theme of personal responsibility and identity.
Do you find yourself out on the front of the stage
Questioning the circumstances of being in the spotlight or on a particular path.
Or maybe you're bound for the road
Considering the possibility of being destined for a journey or change.
Are you feeling the ecstasy starting to fade
Sensing a fading excitement or joy, leading to solitude.
And leaving you once more alone
Describing a recurring sense of being left alone after an experience.
Cause after it's done
Reflecting on the aftermath of an event, regardless of the outcome.
And you've lost or you've won
Acknowledging the uncertainty of success or failure in a situation.
Who will measure what you've lived up to
Pondering the lack of external measures for one's life achievements.
No one, just you
Stressing the individual's sole responsibility for evaluating their life.
