Embracing Freedom: Rediscovering the Essence of Youth in Stereophonics' 'Wonder'
Lyrics
I wanted it all, wanted what I could not control,
I desired everything, things beyond my control.
I just can not control it all
I simply couldn't control everything.
I leveled it off
I brought things to a balanced state.
To a place where I can feel alive
To a place where I can experience life fully.
And not weighed down at all
Without feeling burdened or restricted.
I'm learning a lot
I am gaining knowledge and insights.
Learning that I've just gotta let go,
Realizing that I need to release control,
I cannot carry it all, it's not who I was
I cannot bear the weight of everything, not true to my identity.
Taking me back to the place
Taking me back to a place of childhood innocence.
Where I loved when I was just a boy
Reminiscing about the time when I loved as a young boy.
Don't you wanna,
Inviting someone to consider.
Just remember who you are?
A reminder to recall one's true self.
I wanna be, back in our summer,
Expressing a desire to return to a past summer.
Do you remember?
Asking if the listener remembers.
Come with me
An invitation to join in the nostalgia.
No room for thunder
No place for negativity or disturbances.
Not going under
Not succumbing to challenges.
I wanna be free, breathe, dream about
Desire for freedom, to breathe and dream about that summer.
Our summer, I'll always wonder
Always wondering about that memorable summer.
Yeah we wandered around,
Recalling times of wandering.
Swimming at night under the stars
Nighttime swimming under the stars.
And no-one there to bring us down,
No external forces to bring us down.
We'll never be down
Ensuring a perpetual positive state.
Now I know that when I think back,
Reflecting on the past, realizing it's a mental state.
All this stuff's a state of mind
Encountering challenges is a state of mind.
Don't you wanna,
Inviting someone to remember their true self.
Just remember, who you are?
A reiterated call to recall one's identity.
I wanna be, back in our summer,
Expressing a wish to return to a past summer.
Do you remember?
Asking if the listener remembers.
Come with me
Invitation to join in the nostalgic journey.
No room for thunder
No space for negativity or challenges.
Not going under
Remaining resilient and not succumbing.
I wanna be, as good as it was,
Expressing a desire to relive a past experience.
It wasn't enough, I wanted it all,
Acknowledging that the past wasn't sufficient, desiring more.
I wanted too much, I'll never forget,
Acknowledging an excessive desire that is unforgettable.
About our summer,
Revisiting memories of a particular summer.
I'll always wonder,
Perpetual curiosity and contemplation about that summer.
About our summer
(Repetition of the desire to know more about that summer)
I'll always wonder,
-About our summer
-I'll always wonder,
-About our summer
