Anyway
Dr.Own Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not normal
But I don't have to be
It actually feels healthy to be a product of imagining (Yes)
Little brain farts creating my best parts
Mixed with reflection while done in the jet dark
I set sail on a maiden voyage
To find myself
And hey
If you dig deep enough with a shovel
You can burst your bubble
And maybe uncover
And discover some new parts
Discover some new things
Drifting in the dark
Through mood swings
While the light beams
And the moon gleams
Maybe walk underneath it, and see new things
Truly I'm built of a soup of ingredients
Tell me if it works, don't tell me it's meaningless
I'm fiending for a reason so I keep pressing on
With my soles of my shoes growing souls like a lawn
Water me, God (water)
Water me, God (water)
Show me how to stretch to the sun in the park
Water me (water, water, water, water, water)
Water me (water, water, water, water)
Yeah
Show me how to reach to the sun like the plants do
Teach me new truths I can journal in tattoos
Draw me into the taboos
That seems to be the way we progress, and make grand moves
Grand moves
Grand moves
Forget the bad tunes
Bad tunes putting us in bad moods
Grand moves
Making grand moves
And the sad truths
Just trust in that, and make your fans move
It's good (yeah)
You're moving in the way that you should (ok)
Just understand, even through ruts
At the end of the day we're all misunderstood
(Yeah I think that's the structure I want right there)
We are all just a little bit misunderstood, but believe me when I say that life could still be just as good
It can be great
It really can, if you just trust the plan, ha
The grander one
Yeah, yeah
This is where your life begins (mhm)
Open up your journal and notate with a pen, yeah
And don't take no offense
All I'm tryna do is place your defense
And make it strong, make it solid
Show you you got options
If you wanna pop out, then go and pop then, son
Let yourself be free of all the darkness (yeah)
Let your wings spread, disregard the heartless (mm)
I know it feels like the hardest (yup)
We're all holding on to these bars of our cages
On the gilded stages
Performing and playing for audience ungrateful, yeah
But you gotta be gracious (why?)
Anyways, then
Any way you can
Any way you stand
It's all part of this grander plan, yes
Understand
Understand this
It's grandid
But it ain't granted
But it ain't granted
We are all just a little bit misunderstood, (True)
but believe me when I say (Believe)
that life could still be just as good (ahh)
