Lucky Me
Embracing Solitude: Lucky Me's Message of Contentment
Lyrics
My name is unimportant
Considers personal identity as insignificant.
And my job you could call mean
Describes job as humble or lowly.
But I like the work and I do it well
Expresses contentment with job despite its nature.
That's enough for me.
Being satisfied with doing the job well is sufficient.
I think there was a time when I
Reflects on a past ability to achieve more.
Could do, and did, much more.
Previously capable of accomplishing greater things.
I have dreams in which I captain the ship
Envisions leading or being in charge.
And hear the ocean roar.
Imagines experiencing the power and sound of the ocean.
I've lived alone for all I can remember
Has been living alone for a significant period.
That only means some six or seven years.
Estimates the duration of solitary living.
I would rather be nobody else,
Expresses contentment with self despite isolation.
I'm happy as I am.
Happy with current state of being.
All I need is in my way
Feels fulfilled with what's available or attainable.
And you see no one expects too much from me.
Others don’t have high expectations.
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them.
People cry but don’t seek advice.
They want to know but they don't ask me how.
Others avoid seeking guidance despite curiosity.
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Unsure about the reasons for others' actions.
Lucky me.
Considers oneself fortunate despite uncertainties.
My friends think that I should be trying
Friends believe in exploring personal history.
To find out who I was.
Feels that exploring the past would cause pain and loss.
But I feel that road would bring me pain
Anticipates suffering on the path of self-discovery.
And too much would be lost.
Believes too much will be sacrificed in self-discovery.
How I am is how I'm meant to be now,
Accepts current self as intended.
Anyhow there's things I see more clearly
Claims clearer insights compared to others.
Than those whose heads are searching in the clouds to make discoveries,
Observes others' lofty pursuits.
And maybe fail to see
Concern that others might miss simple truths.
What's on the ground beneath their feet, not hard to find.
Points out the neglect of easily accessible truths.
People cry, but no one asks me to advise them
Reiteration of people not seeking advice despite distress.
They want to know but they don't ask me how,
Repeated interest without seeking advice.
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Expresses uncertainty about others' actions.
Lucky me.
Reiterates feeling fortunate despite unknowns.
No one asks me to advise them.
Repeats lack of consultation despite interest.
They want to know but they don't ask me how.
Repeats others' interest without seeking advice.
That's for someone else and not for me, I don't know.
Reiterates uncertainty about others' actions.
Lucky me - oh.
Reaffirms feeling fortunate despite uncertainties.
