This song is about realizing you aren’t quite as amazing as you think you are. Your problems probably aren’t any more unique or heartbreaking than anybody else’s. I’m a 4 on the enneagram personality test, so maybe this song is just for us 4s. Because we think we’re special and we do dumb things so we can justify feeling that way.
I was raging like a prophet I was hungry as a cub I was sure as a young man never taken punches yet read a book and thinks he’s wise I had expectations I had my birthright I had a vision of who I was, fell in love with it like a drunk found that light but oh hey, I’m fine
cause I fight like a man, fly like a dove hide when I can’t, lie when I don’t how about you?
me, I got rich, white problems as big as my TV I got open doors left and right who’s to say where I might feel the call next week? my dreams have swept me out to sea
I have this sick feeling there’s something in the wind the scene before the doctor calls and nothing stays the same at all I hope I’m wrong again sometimes I get like this
