Don't Wanna
Embracing Solitude: Tristan Palmer's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
I've been around for a day
I've been present for a short period.
Is it too soon to ask for some time, away
Is it too early to request some time apart?
Is there another way, I can be there for you
Is there an alternative way I can support you?
Without having to show my face, today
Can I assist you without being physically present today?
I don't feel like I wanna, introduce myself to your aunt, uncle, or your mama
I don't want to meet and greet your extended family.
I just want some solitude
I desire some time alone.
Alone but damn it feels so good
Being by myself feels incredibly satisfying.
Maybe I'm misunderstood
Perhaps people don't understand me.
I'll go sweat in the sauna
I'll go and relax in the sauna.
Maybe even smoke some mari- no I don't wanna
I don't want to smoke marijuana.
Cause I got so much energy
I have a lot of pent-up energy.
Bursting right inside of me
I feel a strong inner drive.
Asking for a quick release
I'm seeking a quick way to relieve this pressure.
Don't think of that visually
Don't interpret that in a literal way.
Can you feel what I'm feeling
Do you understand my emotions?
I'm so tired of people pleasing, for no reason
I'm tired of pleasing others without reason.
Asking for permission, just for the admission, to my own life
Asking for permission to live life on my terms.
Tell me why
Questioning why I feel pulled towards something I don't need.
I feel it try to grab me, pull me to the dirt and tell me I need you so badly
I sense something trying to control me and make me dependent.
Give it just a couple days, let me screw my head on straight, re-access the choices I made
Give me a little time to think clearly and reconsider my decisions.
Are you not, entertained
Am I not providing enough entertainment?
By these thoughts that run my brain
Are you intrigued by my complex thoughts?
I know you've got something like it
I know you experience similar feelings.
Come on let's hear what you've been hiding
Share what you've been concealing.
