Nothing
Unraveling Life's Symphony: The Box Turtles' Melody of Existence
Lyrics
Here's a song I wrote
Introduction to the songwriting process.
About nothing at all
Acknowledgment that the song is about nothing specific.
But there's so much more
Implies that despite the surface, there is depth to the singer's emotions.
To me than what meets the eyes
Suggests there's more to the singer than what is immediately visible.
Teacher asks me what's two plus two
Describes a mundane school scenario.
Teacher I don't know oh, I just wanna huff glue
Expresses disinterest in academics and a desire for escapism.
He doesn't like that at all
Indicates the teacher's disapproval of the singer's attitude.
He pulls my card on the wall so hard
Describes a disciplinary action taken by the teacher.
Oh lord its time out for me ya
Conveys a sense of consequence for the singer's actions.
Oh sister sister, can you hear that sound
Asks if someone (sister) can perceive a troubling situation.
Sister sister, you're no where to be found
Expresses a sense of abandonment or isolation.
Oh it's so cold in the dark
Describes a lonely and cold emotional state.
Well I don't wanna talk about myself I'd
Declares a reluctance to discuss personal matters.
Rather sit here and worry about everybody else
States a preference for worrying about others rather than oneself.
Well I don't know what came over me
Reflects on an unexplained change in behavior or mindset.
In the bathroom during the party
References a private moment during a social event.
Oh I just had to unwind
Justifies the need for a break or relaxation.
Well I don't wanna talk about the scars on my arms
Expresses a desire to avoid discussing personal struggles.
I'd rather, sit here and wander ohh
States a preference for contemplation rather than communication.
What's in the stars
Expresses contemplation about the unknown future or destiny.
Well I don't wanna talk about myself
Reiterates a reluctance to focus on oneself.
Well I'd just rather I'd just rather
Emphasizes a preference for concern about others.
Sit and worry about everybody else
Reiteration of the singer's inclination to worry about others rather than themselves.
