WHIMSICAL
Whimsical Reflections: Nostalgia's Path and Teenage Certainty
Lyrics
All of these outlines fade away
All the defined shapes or plans lose significance or clarity.
Paving a path that seems to fall
Creating a path that appears to collapse or fail.
Out of my way
Challenges or obstacles are not hindrances for me.
Longing for teenage certainty
Desire for the certainty and simplicity of teenage years.
Minding the gaps too much as
Being overly concerned about the spaces or discrepancies.
An absentee
Acting like an absent person, possibly emotionally or mentally.
The dotted lines in question
The uncertain aspects or decisions in my life.
How can this be my own design?
Questioning how the current situation aligns with my intended design or plan.
We were once so whimsical
Reflecting on a time when we were carefree and imaginative.
How did we become so cynical?
Wondering how and when we adopted a more skeptical and distrustful attitude.
If our shouts were visceral
Considering if our expressions were once deeply felt and emotional.
When did our figures become literal?
Questioning when our representations or identities became more literal and less abstract.
Was the past as good as I remember?
Reflecting on whether the past was genuinely as positive as remembered.
Feels like I'm missing all the turns
Feeling like I'm not making the right choices or decisions in life.
The only line I stayed in case I return
Choosing to remain in a particular direction in case I decide to come back.
The rearview mirror never blurs
The memories of the past are always clear, and nothing is obscured.
And things look bigger there
Objects or events from the past seem more significant but are fading away.
Yet dissapear
Despite appearing important, things from the past are disappearing or losing relevance.
