Here I Am
Yearning for Dreams: Scott Seskind's Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
Here I am in your city
Expressing the speaker's presence in a particular city.
any city will do
Indicating that any city is suitable; the specific location doesn't matter.
and I just wanna lie here
Desire to remain in the current state, possibly a moment of reflection or contemplation.
until my dreams come true
Expressing a wish to stay in the present until personal aspirations are fulfilled.
Well there are times when I feel I've been left alone
Feelings of isolation and abandonment at times.
from people trying to make it on their own
Observation of individuals striving for independence and self-reliance.
they work from a plan with sure goals in mind
Describing people with clear plans and goals, potentially at the expense of other aspects of life.
they ignore everything that could leave them behind
Ignoring anything that might hinder progress or cause them to fall behind.
You say you need more friends I only needed you
Expressing a need for connection, contrasting with those who focus on independence.
you're everything I hoped for but now you say it's through
Addressing a disappointment where someone important declares the end of a relationship.
at least listen to me cry as I bargain with the sky
Pleading for empathy during a difficult emotional moment, bargaining with fate.
for help on a helpless day
Seeking assistance on a challenging day when the speaker feels helpless.
when everything I am gets in my way
Expressing frustration when personal traits hinder progress.
I've been holding back
Admitting to holding back emotions or love.
all the love that is me
Describing the speaker's love as a part of their identity.
its been like living locked up in a cell
Comparing life to being confined in a cell, possibly due to emotional constraints.
with a crying baby out of reach
Metaphorically expressing the difficulty of reaching or expressing emotions.
there's a crying baby out of reach
Reinforcing the metaphor of an unreachable emotional state.
Are you still without the strength
Questioning the resilience of someone important to face challenges together.
to run with me out on the plank
Mentioning a restless and impulsive nature, possibly seeking adventure.
‘cause I'm so restless I can't sit still
Expressing difficulty in staying still, a sense of urgency.
how much more time must we kill
Raising the question of how much time must pass before action is taken.
Here I am in your city
Reiteration of the speaker's presence in a city, emphasizing flexibility in location.
any city will do
Repeating the sentiment that any city is suitable.
and I just wanna lie here
Restating the desire to remain in the present until personal dreams are realized.
until my dreams come true
Emphasizing the aspiration for dreams to come true while being in the current state.
