Back and Forth
Symmetry of Life: Finding Identity Amidst Uncertainty
Lyrics
I'm always pacing back and forth inside just to find out what it is
I'm constantly moving back and forth, trying to understand what it takes for you to feel alive.
That you would take to make you to feel alive
Days are not repetitive in this situation.
And the days non-repetitive
Defensively, the person is like others in the past.
Well in my defense, you were like all the rest
Admitting the lack of knowledge, especially when expecting less, makes more sense.
I can't pretend I know everything
Expressing the desire for a diverse life, cautioning against reliance.
When I'm expecting less it just makes more sense but we, yeah we
Emphasizing the potential for versatility and symmetry in life.
We can still be anything, living a life in symmetry
Encouraging the idea that life can be anything, but with a warning not to rely too much on the speaker.
Just don't grow too reliant on me
Cautioning against growing too dependent because the speaker is not the ideal person.
Cause I'm not the person I want to be
Expressing a desire for personal improvement.
We can still be anything, I want the world to set you free
Reiterating the potential for diverse possibilities in life, wanting freedom for the other person.
Just don't grow too reliant on me
Warning against dependence due to the speaker's dissatisfaction with their own identity.
Cause I'm not the person that I want to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's current identity.
Thought I was tangled up in this position and thinking I could improvise
Feeling entangled but believing in the ability to improvise in this situation.
What goes along with spending time on your own
Highlighting the importance of staying aware when spending time alone.
Is making sure you always open your eyes this time
Acknowledging limited resources but making the best of them.
But this is all I got, I know it's not a lot
Reiterating the lack of comprehensive knowledge when expecting less.
I can't pretend I know everything
Expressing the desire for personal improvement.
When I'm expecting less it just makes more sense but we, yeah we
Repeating the idea that expecting less makes more sense in certain situations.
We can still be anything, living a life in symmetry
Reiterating the potential for diverse possibilities in life, urging caution against reliance.
Just don't grow too reliant on me
Warning against dependence due to the speaker's dissatisfaction with their own identity.
Cause I'm not the person I want to be
Expressing a desire for personal improvement.
We can still be anything, I want the world to set you free
Reiterating the potential for diverse possibilities in life, wanting freedom for the other person.
Just don't grow too reliant on me
Cautioning against growing too dependent because the speaker is not the ideal person.
Cause I'm not the person that I want to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's current identity.
All the lights create more strife
Describing how lights can create conflict.
And I'm telling you if it's meant to be
Assuring that if the relationship is meant to be, the speaker won't leave the other person in a difficult situation.
The last thing I'd ever want to do is leave you hanging like tapestry
Expressing a commitment to avoid leaving the other person in a challenging situation.
And I can lead the way
Offering to lead as long as the other person stays close.
As long as you don't stray too far from me
Encouraging proximity to avoid straying too far.
I'm always pacing back and forth inside just to find out what it is
Repeating the theme of constant movement and self-exploration.
That you would take to make you to feel alive
Reiterating the curiosity about what it takes for the other person to feel alive.
And the days non-repetitive
Stating that days are not repetitive in this situation.
We could still be anything, living the life in symmetry
Highlighting the potential for diverse possibilities in life, expressing hope that tears are drying.
I hope your tears are drying on me
Expressing a positive transformation in the speaker's identity.
Cause now I'm the person I want to be
Desiring personal improvement and a positive transformation.
We could still be anything, I want the world to set you free
Reiterating the potential for diverse possibilities in life, wanting freedom for the other person.
And I hope your tears are drying on me
Expressing hope that tears are drying and highlighting a positive transformation.
Cause now I'm the person I want to be
Desiring personal improvement and a positive transformation.
