When Did We Lose Ourselves
Navigating the Abyss of Lost Innocence
Lyrics
So young to seem such a mess
Expressing surprise at appearing troubled despite being young.
Dead shy and scared half to death (of the rest)
Describing extreme shyness and fear, particularly of the unknown future.
Set sail from shores of innocence
Metaphorically departing from a state of innocence.
For data banks and fashion friends
Moving towards a world of technology (data banks) and superficial friendships based on fashion trends.
We don't know what we've become
Expressing a lack of self-awareness about the current state of being.
And we're freaking out
Feeling intense anxiety or distress.
When did we lose ourselves?
Pondering the moment of losing one's true self.
When did we lose ourselves?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the search for lost identity.
Love forgive what we've become
Pleading for forgiveness for the changed or compromised self.
Cause we need you now
Recognizing a need for divine or unconditional love to overcome the current state.
So we can save ourselves
Desiring salvation or redemption from the current state of being.
So we can save ourselves
Repeating the desire for self-saving, possibly emphasizing urgency.
Transcend the trend of proofs and pills
Encouraging moving beyond the influence of trends, medication, and artificial solutions.
To numb the life that you have built (and you have spilt)
Using substances to escape the challenges and consequences of one's choices.
Breed life to fill the void inside
Advocating for creating life to fill emotional emptiness.
And teach them all to stand in line (and fall behind)
Teaching others to conform, possibly at the expense of individuality.
We don't know what we've become
Reiterating the lack of self-awareness and expressing distress.
And we're freaking out
Experiencing heightened anxiety or panic.
When did we lose ourselves?
Repeating the question about the moment of losing oneself, suggesting ongoing reflection.
When did we lose ourselves?
Emphasizing the urgency and significance of finding lost identity.
Love forgive what we've become
Asking for forgiveness for the changed or compromised self, with a focus on love.
Cause we need you now
Stressing the need for divine or unconditional love in the process of self-saving.
So we can save ourselves
Desiring personal salvation or redemption, highlighting the importance of immediate action.
So we can save ourselves
Reiterating the urgency of self-saving and the desire for a positive transformation.
