What Are We All Searching For
Journey of Self-Discovery: What Drives Us Forward
Lyrics
When I was young I only wanted to be older
The speaker desired to be older during their youth.
Ooo am I the only one who felt that way?
Questioning if others shared the desire to be older in their youth.
Did you feel that way?
Asking if someone else also felt the same desire to be older.
Now I’m grown I wish I felt a little younger
As an adult, the speaker wishes to feel younger.
Ooo am I the only who feels this way?
Expressing if others feel the same wish to feel younger as adults.
Do you feel that way?
Asking if someone else also wishes to feel younger as an adult.
When I’m scared, I wish I was a little braver
Desire to be braver when feeling scared.
Ooo am I the only one who feels this fear?
Questioning if others share the feeling of fear and the wish to be braver.
Have you felt that fear?
Asking if someone else has felt the same fear.
When I Talk I wish I’d sound a little smarter
Wishing to sound smarter while speaking.
Ooo am I the only one who feels unsure?
Questioning if others feel uncertain while talking.
Have you felt unsure?
Asking if someone else has felt unsure.
All the ghosts still haunt over these trails
Referencing lingering memories or unresolved issues that continue to affect the present.
Cause all the will in the world can’t move the scales
Despite determination, some obstacles remain unmovable.
So we ride on the wind from shore to shore
Metaphorically traveling through life's experiences, seeking a purpose or destination.
But what are we all searching for?
Pondering the universal quest or purpose that drives human existence.
Yeah, what are we all searching for?
Rhetorical question questioning the purpose everyone seeks.
When I’m tired, I wish I worked a little harder
Wishing for more effort when feeling tired.
Ooo am I the only one who breaks this way?
Questioning if others experience similar emotional breakdowns when tired.
Do you break that way?
Asking if someone else also breaks down when tired.
When I sing, I wish I felt a little stronger
Desire to feel emotionally stronger while singing.
Ooo am I the only one who feels this way?
Questioning if others share the wish to feel stronger while singing.
Have you felt that way?
Asking if someone else has felt the same wish to feel stronger while singing.
All the ghosts still haunt over these trails
Reiteration of haunting memories or unresolved issues affecting the present.
Cause all the will in the world can’t move the scales
Despite determination, certain obstacles remain unchangeable.
So we ride on the wind from shore to shore
Continuously navigating life's experiences without a clear understanding of the ultimate goal.
But what are we all searching for?
Reiteration of the central question about the purpose of life's pursuit.
Yeah, what are we all searching for?
Rhetorical repetition questioning the collective pursuit of purpose.
Oh will we find it now?
Querying whether the purpose will ever be discovered.
Is it buried like a treasure is it lost in the crowd?
Wondering if the purpose is hidden or obscured within the masses.
What if we never do?
Contemplating the consequences of never uncovering the ultimate purpose.
Calls and echoes are falling through
Repetition of the idea that communication or inquiries seem to go unheard or unanswered.
Calls and echoes are falling through
Further repetition emphasizing the lack of response or clarity.
All the ghosts still haunt over these trails
Recurrence of haunting memories or unresolved issues that persist.
Cause all the will in the world can’t move the scales
Despite relentless determination, certain obstacles remain unmovable.
So we ride on the wind from shore to shore
Continued journey through life's experiences without a clear resolution to the search for purpose.
But what are we all searching for?
Rhetorical repetition questioning the ongoing search for purpose.
Yeah, what are we all searching for?
Reiteration of the central question about the purpose behind the collective search.
