Seeking Authenticity: Longing for Life's True Essence
Lyrics
I want your sincerity
I desire your genuine honesty and authenticity.
You know i want a song that will dig into my
I am seeking a song that deeply resonates with me.
Bones i want a place to live
I long for a place to live that feels like home.
Where I can raise my kids
A place where I can raise my children and build a family.
Settle down with you and call it a home
To settle down with you and establish a meaningful home.
I want a town as big as New York
I aspire for a town as bustling as New York.
Where the masses and the buildings are
A place where masses and buildings are born.
Born i want an anonymous place where nobody
I desire an anonymous place where I can be unknown.
Knows my name if that were possible
A place where nobody knows my name, if such a thing is possible.
I wouldn't need much anymore
If anonymity were achievable, I wouldn't need much more in life.
I want a bar where I can drink until
I desire a bar where I can drink until my face becomes numb.
My face turns numb gimme a bottle
Gimme a bottle of wine to pass the time.
Of wine so I can kill some time
To kill some time without the need to prove anything to anyone.
I don't gotta prove anything to anyone
I don't feel the need to prove myself to others.
When I get back to the house
Upon returning home, a binding webbing of thoughts and emotions forms.
A binding webbing forms
A dream of hell-bound barking dogs takes shape.
Dream of hell-bound barking dogs
Afterward, I walk back out the door, facing challenges.
And then walk back out the door
This process repeats, reflecting the struggles of life.
If I get this far when I grow old
If I reach old age, I won't desire material wealth.
I won't want for any fortune of gold
Instead, I seek the markings of a life well-lived.
I want the markings, instead, of
The true value lies in the experiences and deeds.
A life well lead
These markings are more meaningful than a fortune of gold.
And the force of a body turning cold
The strength and impact of a life diminish as the body turns cold.
A lover's eye does define a life
A lover's eye defines a life that is good and true.
That is good and true
Many times, the desire for connection has sent shivers down my spine.
Many a times I've been chilled to
Chilled to the spine due to the longing for a significant other.
The spine because I wanted you
Expressing the intensity of the desire for a specific person.
