Maybe Not
Christian Walz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aaoh ha-a-aow...
Haow...
Aaoh aaoh

Aaoh ha-a-aow...
Haow

I want to reach the one
I want to quit and run
I want to face the ground
Still want to see the sun

Pain is a minute old
I want to be untold
I'm gonna let it die
Still want to see it grow

I'm gonna go to there all dressed
Wake up reborn and go to flesh

I!, I'm gonna scream out loud
I want to make no sound
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not
I'm gonna face my fears
I want to hold my tears
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not

That is to slow to fast you see
That doesn't mean a thing to me
I'm gonna prove I'm tough
I hope no one says enough
I want to be alone
I want to be with ya'll
I want to be like me
Want to be T are P

I'm gonna go to there all dressed
Wake up reborn and go to flesh

I!, I'm gonna scream out loud
I want to make no sound
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not
I'm gonna face my fears
I want to hold my tears
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not

Now I'm gonna tell
All this makes my day a hell
I don't even know,
But sometimes I change my way
See my own delay (delay dela, delay)
Now I don't even know,
But sometimes I change my way
Just see my own delay, dela, delay, de dela-dela-de

I!, I'm gonna scream out loud
I want to make no sound
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not
I'm gonna face my fears
I want to hold my tears
Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not

Aaoh ha-a-aow...
I want it, maybe not
Aaoh ha-a-aow...




Want to know what I love
I want it, maybe not

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Christian Walz's song Maybe Not describe the conflicting desires and emotions that come with seeking self-discovery and personal growth. The song suggests a feeling of being torn between wanting to face difficulties and wanting to avoid them, wanting to know what one loves but also acknowledging the possibility of not wanting it after all. The singer seems to be struggling to find his place in the world and decide on his true desires, and acknowledges the pain and delay that come with this process.


The repetition of "I'm gonna scream out loud, I want to make no sound, want to know what I love, I want it, maybe not" is particularly significant, as it highlights the singer's ambivalence and indecision. The use of fragmented and sometimes nonsensical lyrics ("Want to be T are P") adds to the overall sense of confusion and uncertainty.


This song is an expression of the human experience, conveying the sometimes difficult and confusing path towards self-discovery and the struggles that come with it. It is a reminder that this journey can be messy, contradictory, and hard, but that ultimately it is worthwhile.
