I Wanna Be There
Yearning for Freedom: Decoding The Velvet Hands' 'I Wanna Be There'
Lyrics
Am I just wasting time
Questioning if time is being wasted
Or am I caught in the middle of something
Uncertain if caught in a confusing situation
I don’t understand?
Expressing a lack of understanding
The twilight zone is a little unnerving
Comparing the situation to the unsettling Twilight Zone
I need it
Repeatedly expressing a strong need for something
Need it more
-I need it
-Need it more
-I wanna be there
Expressing a strong desire to be present or involved
I wanna be there
-I wanna be there
-Give me some freedom
Requesting freedom
I’ll be out screaming
Planning to express oneself loudly
I wanna be there
Reiterating the desire to be present
Can I not see the wood for trees?
Questioning one's ability to see the bigger picture
Am I walking blindly through the forest?
Wondering if moving forward without clear vision
Take no map; face sylvan dread
Facing fear without guidance in a wooded area
I won’t sit back and be another tourist
Rejecting the role of a passive observer
‘cos I need it
Repeatedly expressing a strong need for something
Need it more
-I need it
-Need it more
-I wanna be there
Reiterating the strong desire to be present
I wanna be there
-I wanna be there
-Give me some freedom
Requesting freedom again
I’ll be out screaming
Planning to express oneself loudly again
I wanna be there
Reiterating the desire to be present
