Things I Didn't Read
Discovering Life's Wisdom Through the Things I Didn't Read
Lyrics
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
The content I read holds no significance for me
Nothing to me, nothing to me
Emphasizing the lack of importance in the things read
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Reiterating that the read material has no value to the speaker
Nothing to me all along
Confirmation of the preceding lines, stating it has been meaningless all along
Cause loyalty I learned from my family
Expressing that the speaker's sense of loyalty is rooted in family
And music taught me how to speak
Acknowledging that music has been a crucial influence in the speaker's communication skills
True beauty I found in the wilderness
Finding true beauty in nature, contrasting with a negative experience
Before she brought me down, crying on my knees
Reflecting on a past emotional downfall caused by someone
I studied the mistakes of my elders
Studying the errors made by the older generation
Still had to make all the same ones myself
Despite learning from others, the speaker still goes through similar mistakes
My TV taught me that there’s none you can trust
Expressing skepticism about trust, influenced by television
But my friends taught me trust was enough
Contrasting the lack of trust with the importance of trust learned from friends
And love I don’t know if I’ll ever be done
Ambiguity about the completeness of understanding love
I learn a little more every day
Continuous learning and evolving understanding of love
Direction is pointless I can see it in the wind
Expressing the futility of having a set direction, influenced by the wind
I travel but it blows me away
Traveling experiences, with the wind symbolizing unpredictability
Oh I spent all my years in a school
Highlighting spending significant time in an educational environment
Only to find out I’m just a clueless fool
Realizing personal ignorance despite formal education
Learned to listen when I learned to stop talking
Learning the value of listening and minimizing talking
Realized I felt more than I show
Acknowledging that inner feelings surpass outward expressions
For most of what I did to have happened at all
Recognizing the role of determination in the speaker's actions
Determination I just had to know
Uncertainty about the completion of understanding love
And love I don’t know if I’ll ever be done
Continuous learning and evolving understanding of love, repeating theme
I learn a little more about it every day
Consistent learning and growth in comprehension of love
Direction is pointless I can see it in the wind
Reiteration of the aimlessness in having a set direction, influenced by the wind
I travel but it blows me away
Continued travel experiences, impacted by the unpredictable nature of life
It blows me away
Emphasizing the overwhelming impact of life's experiences
I travel but it blows me away
Repeating the idea of being blown away by life's unpredictable aspects
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Reiteration that the content read holds no significance for the speaker
Nothing to me, nothing to me
Repeating the theme of the insignificance of the read material
The things that I read don’t mean nothing to me
Stating again that the things read have no meaning for the speaker
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the absolute lack of meaning in the read content
