Where Is the Man
Soul's Quest: Seeking the True Self
Lyrics
It wasn’t meant to be
Expressing that the intended outcome or relationship did not materialize.
A crisis of identity
Describing a struggle with one's sense of self and identity.
Giant steps on hallowed ground
Referencing significant progress on sacred or revered territory.
Searching for what can’t be found
Seeking something elusive or unattainable.
Each opportunity
Alluding to instances where opportunities have been challenging.
Taking the best of me
Feeling burdened by the demands of different opportunities.
The person that I knew before
Reflection on a past version of oneself that is becoming unclear.
I can hardly see no more
Struggling to recognize the person one used to be.
Where is the man I need to be
Pondering the whereabouts of the idealized version of oneself.
It’s like he’s nowhere to be seen
Expressing frustration at the apparent absence of the desired self.
Did I design him in my mind
Questioning whether the ideal self was a product of one's imagination.
Did I leave myself behind
Wondering if the pursuit of an ideal self led to neglecting one's true self.
Where is the man I need to be
Continuing the search for the missing ideal self.
The man who knows how to be free
Desiring to be the person who understands how to experience true freedom.
Will the two of us ever meet
Pondering if the desired self will ever coexist with the current self.
Paranoia getting deep
Experiencing increasing levels of irrational fear and distrust.
Can anyone hear me shout
Calling out for attention or assistance, possibly in a state of distress.
Beyond this wall of doubt
Expressing difficulty in moving beyond a barrier of uncertainty.
The fear is building up in me
Feeling anxiety intensify, affecting one's sincerity or truthfulness.
Drowning my honesty
Being overwhelmed by fear and its impact on honesty.
I could be holding on
Contemplating holding on to something important.
Waiting for things to come
Awaiting the future, possibly hesitating to take action.
You know you’ve got it figured out all wrong
Recognizing a misunderstanding or misjudgment of the situation.
When it’s you you’re running from
Realizing that one is avoiding oneself in challenging situations.
Where is the man I need to be
Reiterating the search for the ideal self.
It’s like he’s nowhere to be seen
Expressing frustration at the continued absence of the desired self.
Did I design him in my mind
Questioning whether the ideal self was a product of one's imagination.
Did I leave myself behind
Reflecting on the possibility of leaving one's true self behind.
Where is the man I need to be
Continuing the search for the missing ideal self.
The man who knows how to be free
Desiring to be the person who understands how to experience true freedom.
Will the two of us ever meet
Pondering if the desired self will ever coexist with the current self.
Paranoia getting deep
Experiencing increasing levels of irrational fear and distrust.
