Clarity
Amy Conrad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we are just stuck on the ground
Counting the bricks
Til I find a pathway, somehow
Everybody just keeps on asking
So what do you wanna do with life?
But is it so wrong
maybe I don't know where it will lead me
but, it's a start
find me and take me away and give me some clarity
and find me here on my own and show me
where I should go
cause lately it seems the clouds are covering
the sun
find me and take me away and give me
clarity
even though you think that im strong
I'm still faced with insecurities
I'm doubting this song
right as im playing along
wondering if it's good enough for the long run
find me and take me away and give me some clarity
and find me here on my own and show me
where I should go
cause lately it seems the clouds are covering
the sun
find me and take me away and give me
clarity
clarity
yeah yeah yeah
find me and take me away and give me some clarity
and find me here on my own and show me
where I should go
cause lately it seems the clouds are covering
the sun
find me and take me away and give me
clarity

Everybody has plans of grandour
Everyone has ambitious plans for their lives
And we are just stuck on the ground
Meanwhile, we feel stuck and unable to make progress
Counting the bricks
We're so stuck that we're reduced to counting bricks
Til I find a pathway, somehow
We desperately hope to find a way out
Everybody just keeps on asking
People keep asking us about our life goals
So what do you wanna do with life?
And it makes us question what we really want out of life
But is it so wrong
Yet, it feels wrong to say that we simply want to follow our hearts
That I'm just following my heart
We still decide to go with our hearts, anyway
maybe I don't know where it will lead me
We're uncertain of where our hearts will take us
but, it's a start
But we have to start somewhere
find me and take me away and give me some clarity
We wish for someone to provide us with clarity and guidance
and find me here on my own and show me where I should go
Because it feels like we're lost and need direction
cause lately it seems the clouds are covering the sun
We feel like our path is obscured and unclear
even though you think that im strong
Others may see us as strong and capable
I'm still faced with insecurities
But we still have doubts and insecurities
I'm doubting this song
We even doubt our creative efforts, like this song
right as im playing along
Even as we try to make progress
wondering if it's good enough for the long run
We worry about whether our efforts will be worth it in the future
clarity
We repeat the word 'clarity' to emphasize our desire for it
find me and take me away and give me some clarity
Once again, we seek guidance from someone else
yeah yeah yeah
A vocalization of our frustration and yearning for something more
