Lyrics
When I was younger I had freedom
Reflecting on having a sense of freedom during youth.
Sometimes freedom's not enough
Realizing that sometimes having freedom alone isn't sufficient.
So I set out to find limits
Setting out to explore boundaries and constraints.
But instead I found some love
Instead of limits, discovering love.
Everything evolves eventually
Noting the natural progression and change in everything.
Like the troubles that arose
Acknowledging difficulties that emerged.
All the limits I discovered
Realizing that the limits faced were self-imposed.
Were the limits I imposed
Feeling uncertain about one's moral character and understanding of it.
Unconvinced that I'm a good man
Doubting personal goodness or the definition thereof.
Or what it means to be
Confusion about the essence of being.
When the source of all my problems
Attributing problems to oneself.
Seems to be just me
Feeling accountable for personal issues.
Even if I point my finger
Realizing that blaming others affects oneself similarly.
It still bends the same
Understanding the need to rectify self-created messes.
I want to learn how I can clean
Being in an uncomfortable or challenging situation.
These messes that I make
Desiring assistance but possibly rejecting it when offered.
I ended up in the desert
Describing a difficult or trying experience.
The air was burning me alive
Suffering in a harsh environment.
Then a man with a canteen
Encountering unexpected help.
Appeared before my eyes
Desperately needing assistance for a prolonged period.
Well I begged for some water
Rejecting help when finally offered.
I think I begged for 7 days
(Empty line)
But when he finally offered
Similar doubts about personal character or understanding.
I turned him away
Continued uncertainty despite potential guidance.
Unconvinced that I'm a good man
Reiteration of doubts about one's morality.
Or what it means to be
Continued confusion about the essence of being.
When the source of all my problems
Attributing problems to oneself.
Seems to be just me
Feeling accountable for personal issues.
Even if I point my finger
Realizing the futility of blame.
It still bends the same
Desiring to rectify self-made messes.
I want to learn how I can clean
(Empty line)
These messes that I make
Coming to terms with the transience of positive things.
I think I've finally accepted
Desiring exceptions to this rule.
That every good thing ends in time
Understanding that life's vitality is tied to its finiteness.
We all wish there were exceptions
(Empty line)
But without death we're not alive
Reiteration of doubts about personal goodness or understanding.
Unconvinced that I'm a good man
Attributing problems to oneself.
Or what it means to be
Feeling accountable for personal issues.
When the source of all my problems
Realizing the futility of blame.
Seems to be just me
Desiring to rectify self-made messes.
Even if I point my finger
(Empty line)
It still bends the same
Reiteration of doubts about one's morality.
I want to learn how I can clean
Continued confusion about the essence of being.
These messes that I make
Desiring to rectify self-made messes.
