Gotta Go
Hermanas Sister Lyrics

Swallowed up by society
Being consumed and engulfed by the strict regulations and expectations of society.

conforming to the style of non-originality
Trying to fit in and follow the crowd, while losing one's own unique qualities and characteristics.

tip-toeing through the pattern
Walking gingerly and cautiously through the predetermined path that society has set out for us.

and rhythm of life
Following the general flow of life, without deviating or making any significant changes.

slowly passing by all the easy riders
Gradually missing out on all the people who take the easier and more comfortable route in life.

they've found the easy way.
Choosing to take the easiest route in life, even if it goes against their own personal beliefs and values.

You've gotta go
Encouraging the listener to break free from the monotonous routine of conformity and to find their own unique path in life.

Sometimes she forgets just
Occasionally, she loses sight of her dream and aspirations.

what she want to be
Her true calling and purpose in life.

averting her eyes from
Avoiding and ignoring the things that may remind her of her true passions and goals.

all she's ever dreamed
The vision of her ideal life that she has held since childhood.

should she imitate her mama so plainly
Whether to follow in her mother's footsteps, even if it means losing her own individuality and dreams.

not knowing who she is
Being confused and lost about her own identity and purpose in life.

yet sticking with conformity
Despite her inner turmoil and confusion, choosing to follow the predetermined rules and norms of society.

cos it's the easy way out.
Choosing the path of least resistance and avoiding challenges that may lead to personal growth.

Well you know
Addressing the listener directly to emphasize the following message.

while the back of my mind's exploding
Feeling restless and overwhelmed due to the pressure to conform, despite her inner desire to break free and be unique.

conditioning slides
The societal conditioning that has been bestowed upon her throughout her life.

and I'm lost, in a maze of emotions
Feeling confused and misguided due to a mix of emotions and conflicting thoughts about her own identity and purpose.

conflicting against the oppressing systems
Fighting against the cultural and societal systems that are holding her back and limiting her potential.

but if you wanna get some satisfaction
Encouraging the listener to find fulfillment and happiness in life by breaking free from conformity and following their true passions.

or even a little compassion
Suggesting that breaking free from societal norms and following one's passions may lead to a better understanding and empathy for others.

I stop living in this prison of make-believe
Choosing to break free from the false and limiting beliefs that have been instilled by society.

I get out and spread those winds you all!
Taking charge of her life and branching out to new experiences and opportunities.

Influenced by what we hear and see
Being influenced and shaped by the messages and images portrayed in media and culture.

captured by the noise of mediocracy
Being trapped and limited by the mundane and mediocre standards that society has set out for us.

not knowing who we are yet sticking with conformity
Being lost and confused about our true identity and purpose, yet following the norm to avoid discomfort and challenges.

You've gotta go, You've gotta go, You've gotta go, gotta, gotta go.
Reiterating the importance of breaking free from conformity and finding one's unique path in life.
