Outsider
Navigating Loss and Boundaries: The Trekker's Outsider Tale
Lyrics
Sing for something or I don't really wanna know
Singing is meaningful only if it represents something; the speaker is indifferent if it doesn't.
Look for something I lost at the show
The speaker is searching for something lost during a performance or event.
I can wait, but don't you ask where to go
The speaker can be patient, but they don't want directions on where to go.
We can wait, but you will have to let it go
Waiting is acceptable, but there's a need to let go of certain things.
Have you lost anyone?
Asking if the listener has experienced loss.
Other than the friends that you want to lose
Questioning if the listener lost people intentionally or willingly.
Did you lose anyone?
Reiterating the inquiry about experiencing loss.
Other than the friends that you didn't choose
Highlighting the involuntary aspect of losing friends.
I could show you how to lose a friend and how to break the bound
Offering to demonstrate how to lose a friend and break a connection.
Maybe I could be the one to tell you my story with her
Expressing a willingness to share a personal story.
I saw a spider
Noticing a spider and pursuing it cautiously.
And followed it on my tip toes
Continuing to follow the spider quietly.
And we end up alone
Ending up alone after the pursuit.
Till the end of the road
Reaching the end of a journey or relationship.
You just wait, but things don't change
Waiting, but recognizing that things may not change.
It's true.
A confirmation that the preceding statement is true.
Why the hell
Expressing confusion or frustration about feeling intensely sad.
I'm feeling so god damn blue
Acknowledging a deep sense of sadness.
Have you lost anything?
Asking if the listener has lost something meaningful.
Other than the friends you feel attached to
Highlighting the emotional connection to friends.
Have you lost anyone?
Repeating the question about experiencing loss.
Other than the friends that are like your jewel
Emphasizing the precious nature of certain friends.
I became an outsider
Declaring a transition to being an outsider, feeling disconnected.
I'm no longer friends with her
Explicitly stating the end of a friendship with a female.
I became an outsider
Repeating the declaration of becoming an outsider.
'Cause I broke the bound with her
Explaining the reason for becoming an outsider: breaking a bond with a female.
Yeah I am an outsider
Affirming the outsider status of the speaker.
I'm no longer friends with her
Reiterating the end of friendship with a female.
I became an outsider
Stating the continued outsider status.
'Cause I never was an insider
Affirming the speaker was never an insider to begin with.
