Questions
Bamboo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For these answers that may never come our way
So we hold on to each other
Hoping to find what's missing
A million more questions by the end of the day
So we've been getting all this inside information
Are you as confused as me or it's all driving you insane
Lose your inhibitions go talk to someone
It's a million more questions by the end of the day
It's who we are
It's who we are
It's who we are
It's who we are
We try to get a way out, pray for shade
Follow what will we find
Return to sacred ground or the mem'ry of one strange
Is it a new day?
Bored? Sounds all too familiar
A Good excuse for change in pace
Go forth be a happy clone
Questions at the end of the day
It's who we are
It's who we are
It's who we are
It's who we are
Running in circles
In this once in a lifetime
I got this
One last chance
To ditch this borderline life
My place in this world
Last day I draw breath
I'm about to collide
With myself
With myself
With myself
It'll all get better all we need is time
Drag yourself out of bed
Waiting for that change in season
Praying for a line
Living in a rainbow
Or drowning in the gray
You've filled in all the blanks
It ain't all that bad

Bamboo has transcended from being a rock icon to a more deeper soulful singer. Too bad his audience doesn't get the appeal of songs like this so he resorts to playing old rock hits in concerts. But to a very few who appreciate, these kind of songs are a secret handshake. More of the soulful bamboo please.
@mariedavid5059
King's Quay i agree with you
@KARENKYLENICS
yeah but its nice BTW
@cristinagorospe2362
I agree :) until know it's still nice to hear.
@lemonadeztollz2331
He has a nice voice. But lyrics and the way its compose are not good compare to Rico blanco who wrote entire Rivermaya Songs.
@cyrusaaron4933
You're right
@berryl22
Among the Filipino Male arists, I love Bamboo the best. His voice is soothing my ears. If you are stress or having a hard time, listen to him and he will pacify your soul. A true artist indeed!
@milleth6477
during this quarantine period, let’s stream more of OPM, especially bamboo’s songs. he is so underrated. he deserves more recognition. :(
@grantroxas7236
How come to say hes under rated? Hes a rock legend if you live here in the philippines. And also he is one of the most expensive artist. 😁
