Wannabe
Aspiring Strength and Wisdom: Taylor Kingman's Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
I wannabe strong
I aspire to be strong.
That time I proved I was right, I was wrong
Reflecting on a time when proving oneself right resulted in being wrong.
That time we talked all night, man I was drunk
Recalling a conversation that lasted all night, emphasizing being intoxicated.
Last time I came, babe, I was gone
Describing a previous departure, possibly emotionally or physically.
I wannabe strong
Reiterating the desire to be strong.
I wannabe kind
Expressing the desire to be kind.
I wannabe all open windows and warm apple pie
Wishing to embody openness and warmth, using a metaphor of open windows and warm apple pie.
I wannabe slowly blowing breezes in the sweet by and by
Aspiring to bring positive and gentle influences like blowing breezes in a pleasant future ("sweet by and by").
I wannabe arms open wide and baby it's alright
Desiring to be welcoming with open arms and conveying that everything will be fine.
I wanna be kind
Expressing the wish to be kind once again.
I wanna be wise
Expressing a desire to be wise.
I've sat stoned until sunrise, and I bet I looked divine
Reflecting on experiences of being stoned until sunrise, presenting oneself as divine.
And I've cowered with conviction, and I bet I looked wild and sly
Recalling moments of standing firm with strong belief and appearing wild and cunning.
And I've talked too long too loud, and I bet I look proud and right
Admitting to speaking excessively and loudly, potentially with pride.
But I wannabe wise
Expressing the aspiration to be wise once again.
I wannabe clear
Expressing the desire to be clear.
I wanna wear out my wanderin' and I wanna be here
Wanting to exhaust one's wandering tendencies and be present in the moment.
I wanna sober up and let sleep be the vintage of my ears
Expressing a desire to overcome intoxication and let sleep bring clarity to one's senses.
I wanna wake in my walking through the valley of voyeurs and mirrors
Desiring clarity while navigating through challenging situations represented by the "valley of voyeurs and mirrors."
I wanna be clear
Reiterating the wish to be clear.
I wanna be true
Expressing the aspiration to be true.
The blossoms of love are blighted with fear in the roots
Highlighting the challenges in love, with fear affecting its growth.
And that moment was honest, untouched by the next moment's truth
Acknowledging a genuine moment, untouched by subsequent truths.
And I'm sorry for all I've taken and I'm sorry for all I've let loose
Apologizing for actions taken and things released, expressing regret.
I wanna be true
Reiterating the desire to be true.
I wanna be forgiven
Expressing the desire for forgiveness for giving up on everything known.
For giving up on everything I knew
Reiterating the wish to be true.
I wanna be true
Expressing the desire to be forgiven for abandoning one's knowledge and principles.
