Why
Yearning for Solitude: Embracing the Unseen
Lyrics
I look up and see the sun
I observe the sun in the sky
I didn't want it anyway
I didn't desire it in the first place
So I just drown out everything
I intentionally ignore everything around me
'Cause I cannot feel this way
Because I don't want to experience these emotions
And I'd sit here all alone
I used to be fine being by myself
All alone, I was okay
Despite being alone, I was content
So I just sit here on my own
Now, I sit here in solitude
Now on my own, I just
Alone again, and I just
Cry myself away
I cry as a way of coping
Why can't it just be that way?
Expressing a desire for things to be different
Up against us, there's a wall
We face an obstacle, a metaphorical wall
And it just won't go away
This obstacle persists and doesn't disappear
I really want to make it fall
I truly want to overcome this challenge
It refuses to give way
But it refuses to yield
In my notebook, we can touch
In a creative space, perhaps a metaphorical notebook
We just hug, hang out all day
We can connect, spend time together
In my notebook, there is love
In this imaginative realm, there is genuine love
Love that always makes me
Love that consistently affects me
Cry myself away
Again, I find myself crying as a release
Why can't it just be that way?
Expressing a wish for a different reality
I just shout and never sing
I express myself loudly instead of singing
No one likes it anyway
Yet, no one appreciates it
So I just drown out everything
I drown out external stimuli to avoid emotions
'Cause I cannot feel this way
Because I don't want to feel this way
And so we keep going on
We continue moving forward
Though no one gets it anyway
Even though no one understands
'Cause why should we follow along?
Questioning the need to conform
If will just make us
If it will only force us to
Cry ourselves away
We find ourselves crying as a collective
Why can't we just be our way?
Expressing a desire for authenticity
The sun came out
The sun emerges
I shoved it out
I push it away
Who wants it now, anyway?
No one wants it now, anyway
