Embracing Change: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Figured I'd reach out and just catch up
Expressing an attempt to reconnect and catch up.
I've already talked to myself enough (I've had enough of this)
Feeling a need for external communication as internal reflection has been extensive and overwhelming.
You asked how I've been and I said I've changed
Acknowledging personal growth in response to a query about well-being.
I left out some details this year's been quite strange (Without you)
Choosing not to disclose certain challenging aspects of the year, possibly related to a past relationship.
Surrounded myself with the total wrong crowd
Being in the wrong social circle that hinders self-awareness.
Can't hear my thoughts in this bar it's too loud
Unable to think clearly in a noisy bar setting.
They told me to let loose go and have fun
Receiving advice to let loose and enjoy life.
A quarter past four perfect time to find love (No)
Rejecting the idea of finding love at a late hour.
Can we just stop what's the rush
Questioning the need for urgency in life.
God forbid you're twenty something and you're not in love
Feeling societal pressure to be in love in one's twenties.
This weight on my shoulders is getting too heavy
Expressing the burden of emotional weight becoming too much.
Can't I just skip to the good part already
Desiring to fast-forward to a more positive phase of life.
I don't recognize this place
Feeling unfamiliar with the current situation or surroundings.
I'm a stranger to myself
Feeling disconnected from one's own identity.
What's going on these days (These days)
Expressing confusion about the current state of affairs.
Just let your guard down it's what they all say
Encouraged to be vulnerable by lowering personal defenses.
Go take a sip to feel something okay
Suggested to drink to experience emotions.
Kissed pretty strangers felt nothing at all
Recalling empty experiences with unfamiliar individuals.
Nothing compares to the sound of your call
Highlighting the incomparable significance of a familiar connection through the sound of their call.
I don't recognize this place (I don't)
Reiterating the feeling of being out of place.
I'm a stranger to myself
Re-emphasizing the sense of being a stranger to oneself.
What's going on these days (These days)
Expressing continued confusion about the current state of affairs.
Can we just stop what's the rush
Repeating the question about the need for urgency in life.
God forbid you're twenty something and you're not in love
Reiterating the societal pressure to be in love in one's twenties.
This weight on my shoulders is getting too heavy
Stressing the increasing weight of emotional burdens.
Can't I just skip to the good part already
Expressing a desire to skip to a more positive phase of life.
Can we just stop what's the rush
Repeating the question about the need for urgency in life.
God forbid you're young and not in love
Reiterating the societal pressure to be young and in love.
This weight on my shoulders is getting too heavy
Stressing the increasing weight of emotional burdens.
Can't I just skip to the good part already
Expressing a desire to skip to a more positive phase of life.
Shared all my firsts with you
Recalling shared experiences and milestones with a specific person.
It's no wonder you're the first I go running to
Expressing a natural inclination to seek comfort and support from a familiar person.
What a shame that we're just strangers (These days)
Acknowledging the unfortunate reality of being strangers now.
I miss the golden days
Expressing a longing for past, better times.
The way it used to be
Reflecting on the nostalgia of how things used to be.
Kissed some pretty strangers
Recalling experiences of intimacy with unfamiliar individuals.
But now the stranger is just me
Concluding that the current unfamiliarity is internal, as the stranger is now the self.
