Look Around
Blues Traveler Lyrics
You'll get no answer from me
About what I want of what I get
Brave enough to speak afraid to see
Confuse the issue till you forget
And I've tried
To finally decide
Why
I'm in your face
I am unable to let things go
I'm told I do it very well
But more important you should know
That all the same
You've got no one to blame
But yourself
If you call that a waste
'Cause it ain't me
That's been hurting you inside
And if you've learned
You'll know much more than I
That you're gonna have to go and fine it
You'll have to dig beneath the ground
You'll have to unearth every ugly stone
That kept you on your own
And simply put them down
You're gonna have to look around
You'll get no answer from me
About what I get or what I want
That was enough to make her leave
She's not the first one come and gone
And I don't care
Buyer beware
Of me
Cause it might get rough
If you want peace then live alone
If you want to hide then find a stage
Each a brief but perfect home
To accommodate your rage
And sometimes
In the midst of all my crimes
I feel lost
Or have I lost enough
Remaining friends
Remind me as they say
It's up to you
The things you throw away
And still you're gonna have to go and find it
You'll have to dig beneath the ground
You'll have to unearth every ugly stone
That kept you on your own
And simply put it down
You're gonna have to look around
You're gonna have to look around
You're gonna have to look around

of all the songs I've ever heard, these are my favorite lyrics. As a former performing musician, the line "If you want peace then live alone / if you want to hide then find a stage / each a brief but perfect home / to accommodate your rage" is one of the most intellectual things that has ever been in music. This whole song is worthy of a semester at Cornell. So incredible.

Those lyrics have always had a strong resonance with me.

Easily one of the finest songs yet written. A timeless classic that never fails to pull water from my eyes.

Actually I thought I was the only Swede that was listening. Glad to hear at least one more have enriched their life with this “top ten” ever songs. Brings me back to 1994 when I was an exchange student! Still listen to it almost 30 years later!
