Walking by Myself
Felix Wood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rocking with you vans on
Hit your cellphone
Praying that you answer
I can tell that somethings on your mind
Do you trust me
Meet me where the stars shine
You decline but honestly its alright
Im walking by myself
Ooo
Im walking by myself
Ooo
I started walking I had no where to run
My hands cold I found warmth in the sun
Don't worry bout yours mom
I have to handle business
Don't cry at my departure I'll be back in a minute
Fix my stance or end up in a clinic
My feet sore I got no where to kick it
Once caught traveling
Made a turn around
Pivet
Few steps back
Sundance
And I'm livin'
I gotta face my insecurities
With every year of age I learned pain
And maturity
With every face I meet I see iniquity is currency
And currently
I Just want security
I know I'm not alone
But I've been walking independent
I don't need a girl
To keep me on her checklist
I don't need attention
I don't need affection
And I don't need a father to tell me that I'm special
Im walking by myself
Ooo
Im walking by myself
Ooo
Im walking by myself
Ooo
Im walking by myself
Ooo
Would you walk my way
Would you take my hand
Would you understand
In Felix Wood's song "Walking by Myself," the lyrics portray a sense of independence, self-reflection, and resilience. The song starts with the singer noticing a pretty dancer who seems to be troubled by something. He reaches out to her, asking her to meet him where the stars shine to talk, but she declines. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced similar rejections in the past, and he is okay with it because he has been walking by himself before. The chorus emphasizes this point repeatedly, making it clear that the singer values his independence.
The second verse reveals that the singer has experienced hardships, but he has learned to cope with them independently. He doesn't want his loved ones to worry about him and believes that he can handle things on his own. The verse also hints at the singer's desire for self-improvement, even if it means facing his insecurities and seeking help when needed.
The last lines of the song turn to the listener, asking them to take the singer's hand and understand him. It is unclear whether this is a metaphor for a romantic relationship, a friendship, or a figurative call to the world to empathize with his struggles. However, the lyrics suggest that the singer has learned to stand on his own two feet but would still like someone to walk with him.
Overall, the song presents an inspiring message of self-reliance, growth, and perseverance while also acknowledging the importance of human connection.
