Obviously
Navigating Life's Illusions: Wavy McGrady's 'Obviously' Reflection
Lyrics
I thought I had my sights aimed in
I believed I had my goals set
But I'm pulling on the trigger
However, I am taking action without success
And I'm missing everything I thought I had
I am realizing that what I thought I possessed is eluding me
But life ain't what it seems
Life is different from what it appears to be
When you're shaken from a dream
When disrupted from a dream, the reality is unsettling
Trying not to wake up
Attempting to avoid facing reality
OO, I could've sworn it'd be different
Oh, I was convinced it would be different
But some things never change
However, some aspects remain unchanged
And people stay the same
People remain consistent
But I can't dodge the blame
I cannot escape responsibility
And I can't fit more emotions on my sleeve
I can't express more emotions openly
I'm trying to believe but it's impossible
Trying to have faith, but it feels impossible
When you are in too deep
When deeply involved in a situation
What's the problem with me?
Questioning what's wrong with me
I didn't think I was so bad
I didn't think I was so flawed
But I don't control that
But I can't control that perception
Obviously
Clearly
I thought I could stop my wishing
I believed I could stop yearning or desiring
But I'm doing all that I can do
Yet, I am doing all that is within my power
And you still don't want to listen to what I say
And you still refuse to listen to my words
Drinking down my sorrows
Trying to numb my pain with alcohol
Still a hard pill to swallow
Still finding it difficult to accept
But some things just can't be avoided
Some things are inevitable and can't be avoided
Now you've got me at a stand still
Now, I'm at a standstill
Working for the lonely man still
Working for someone who is lonely
Should've had a backup plan I know
Should have had a contingency plan
Cause it's true that people reap just what they sow
Because people face the consequences of their actions
And I can't fit more emotions on my sleeve
I can't express more emotions openly
I'm trying to believe but it's impossible
Trying to have faith, but it feels impossible
When you are in too deep
When deeply involved in a situation
What's the problem with me?
Questioning what's wrong with me
I didn't think I was so bad
I didn't think I was so flawed
But I don't control that
But I can't control that perception
Obviously
Clearly
