What I Wanted
Unveiling the Shadows: Tracy Nitschke's Quest for True Fulfillment
Lyrics
Is this all, all that I wanted
Expressing doubt about whether the current situation aligns with the speaker's desires and expectations.
Have I found the place I belong in
Questioning if the speaker has found a place where they truly fit in and feel a sense of belonging.
My feet are on the street and the air is mine to breathe but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Despite being physically present in a place with freedom, the speaker feels unsatisfied and disconnected from what they truly wanted.
Is this all, all that I wanted
Reiterating the doubt and dissatisfaction about whether the current situation fulfills the speaker's desires.
Why am I stuck feeling so haunted
Expressing a sense of being haunted or troubled despite the appearance of a structured life.
My life is on a track and there seems no going back but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Despite having a seemingly predictable life, the speaker feels it doesn't align with their true desires.
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
Describing others as indifferent and unresponsive as they pass by, symbolizing a lack of connection or understanding.
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
Perception that others only see a facade or a disguised version of the speaker.
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining dreams when facing challenges from within.
Is this really the life that I wanted
Raising the question of whether the current life aligns with the speaker's aspirations.
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Reaffirming the doubt and questioning if the current life is truly what the speaker desired.
Thought by now I'd feel really proud
Anticipating a sense of pride that has not been realized yet.
Paper slides as they hand me the pen
Receiving a symbolic pen, possibly signifying responsibility or control, but feeling uncertain about its purpose.
But something makes me doubt what this is all about
Doubting the meaning or significance of the current situation.
But how can I judge when I'm here now
Expressing uncertainty about passing judgment on the current circumstances while being in the midst of them.
I try to make it alright good old days seem to wave from behind
Attempting to make things right, but the past and the present seem to contradict each other.
I should be in my prime but it all feels like a lie oh could I be out of my mind
Feeling that the prime of life should be experienced now, but it feels like a deception or illusion.
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
Observing others as indifferent and unresponsive, emphasizing a lack of genuine connection.
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
Reiterating the perception that others only see a masked or concealed version of the speaker.
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Experiencing a collapse of dreams or aspirations from deep within.
Is this really the life that I wanted
Repeating the question of whether the current life aligns with the speaker's true desires.
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Reaffirming the doubt and questioning if the current life is truly what the speaker desired.
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Expressing a sense of loss regarding friends and joy, questioning the realization of past dreams.
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Reflecting on the passage of time and wondering why the current reality is so different from what was imagined.
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Repeating the sense of loss and questioning the disparity between past dreams and present reality.
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Reiterating the reflection on time and the stark contrast between expectations and reality.
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
Observing others as indifferent and unresponsive, reinforcing the theme of disconnection.
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
Reiterating the perception that others only see a disguised or hidden version of the speaker.
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Experiencing the crumbling of dreams from deep within, emphasizing inner turmoil.
Is this really the life that I wanted
Repeating the question of whether the current life aligns with the speaker's true desires.
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Reaffirming the doubt and questioning if the current life is truly what the speaker desired.
