about
Partly inspired by a real situation, but again just looking at the absurdity of life. Sometimes people want to tell you what you should be doing which is absurd enough, but even more so when you are literally doing what they "think" you should be doing!
lyrics
Wondering where I'm at, curiosity
One way to find the answer, talk to me
Realistically, would you label something bad
Before you ever had the chance to see
Focus on who I am over what I'm not
The things that matter sometimes are forgot
The things you say
I've heard them once or thrice before
With love and due respect
I know them more
A somewhat typical man
The other side of the land
I know whats meant to be will be
Give me a chance, to enhance
Before signing off check the facts
Miscommunication in the way
Of what you think of me and what I say
The things I want
Exactly what you say I need
From a rut I try
To be free'ed
Appearance of it different to thee
Another vision each of us does see
Realistically who is anyone to see
Their's is a better way
Impossible I say
A somewhat typical man
Wants to play in a band
But realises he has to eat
Give me a chance
To enhance
Before signing off check the facts
From the quiet I ran
Because I can
There's just too much to do and see
Show it to me
A somewhat kind of almost typical man
OK with being who I am
I might not know the next thing I will do
Just let me find my way through
One way to find the answer, talk to me
Realistically, would you label something bad
Before you ever had the chance to see
Focus on who I am over what I'm not
The things that matter sometimes are forgot
The things you say
I've heard them once or thrice before
With love and due respect
I know them more
A somewhat typical man
The other side of the land
I know whats meant to be will be
Give me a chance, to enhance
Before signing off check the facts
Miscommunication in the way
Of what you think of me and what I say
The things I want
Exactly what you say I need
From a rut I try
To be free'ed
Appearance of it different to thee
Another vision each of us does see
Realistically who is anyone to see
Their's is a better way
Impossible I say
A somewhat typical man
Wants to play in a band
But realises he has to eat
Give me a chance
To enhance
Before signing off check the facts
From the quiet I ran
Because I can
There's just too much to do and see
Show it to me
A somewhat kind of almost typical man
OK with being who I am
I might not know the next thing I will do
Just let me find my way through
