Lyrics
I wandered into breakfast like a thief got in the house
I entered breakfast stealthily, feeling like an intruder in my own space.
Burdened since I left my room
Weighed down by a burden since leaving my room.
Wonder where the wonders of the world go
Contemplating the whereabouts of the extraordinary things in the world.
Out on holiday when I need them
These wonders seem absent when I most need them, as if on vacation.
Far from cash and company
Far away from both money and companionship.
Will every morning require
Does every morning necessitate a ceremonial act and a position of power?
An altar and a throne?
Questioning the resistance to prayer and supplication.
Though why resist supplication
Why not express oneself with an offering once again?
To speak up with some offering again?
No one possesses everything in life.
No one has it all
Nobody experiences a positive mood every single day.
No one feels good every day
Acknowledging the value of stepping outside despite uncertainties.
I know that it's worth it to go outside
Highlighting the rarity of losing composure in challenging situations.
That you don't usually
Asking if the listener will support and guide appropriately.
Lose a face when you feel that way
Questioning if I will relinquish control over my personal "skylight" or perspective.
But will you keep me and play it right?
Acknowledging that I'm reserving the most significant part for a personal, internal paradise.
Will I let go permission
Seeking reassurance to let go of control over my own perspective.
Of my own skylight?
Repeating the query about being kept and guided in the right direction.
Baby I know I'm reserving the greatest part
Expressing effort and determination in trying hard.
For a heaven only I can see
Acknowledging that the effort itself can be exhausting.
Keep me and play it right
Reiterating the question of being supported and guided appropriately.
Will I let go permission
Continuing to ask about relinquishing control over one's perspective.
Of my own skylight?
Repeating the plea for support and guidance.
And will you keep me and play it right?
Emphasizing the intensity of the effort being exerted.
I'm trying so hard
Stressing that the act of trying itself can be draining.
Though it's the trying
Repeated emphasis on the exhausting nature of trying hard.
That makes you so tired I know
Recognizing and accepting the challenges and fatigue that come with effort.
Will you keep me and play it right?
Reiterating the plea for support and guidance despite the difficulties.
I'm trying so hard
Continuing to express the challenges of trying hard.
though it's the trying
Repeating the acknowledgment that trying hard can be exhausting.
That makes you so tired I know
Restating the acknowledgment of the challenges and fatigue associated with effort.
I know
Expressing certainty or understanding.
I know
Repeating the expression of certainty or understanding.
I
Individual assertion.
I know
Repetition of individual assertion for emphasis.
Oh oh
Exclamation or emphasis.
I know
Repetition of individual assertion for emphasis.
I know
-I know
-I know
-I know
-Baby I know
Concluding by reiterating individual certainty or understanding.
