HeyLasFas! Lyrics

Somebody told me of a silly little thing called destiny
Destiny was described to me as something silly and insignificant by someone.

Go unchecked, I’ll go blind finding how it got the best of me
If I don't pay attention to destiny, it might negatively impact me without me realizing how it happened.

The moon and the sun, the stars in the sky
Referencing the celestial objects to convey a sense of vastness and insignificance when compared to our personal struggles.

Alone on the top, I don’t even want to try.
Feeling overwhelmed and hesitant to tackle something difficult without any support.

We've made it this far all my good friends
Acknowledging the support and loyalty of good friends up to this point.

I really don’t want this to be the end.
Expressing the desire to continue the friendship and not let it come to an end.

What if I can’t?
Expressing fear and doubt over one's own abilities.

What if I don’t?
Expressing fear and doubt over not being able to meet expectations.

What if I’m not?
Expressing fear and doubt over not meeting one's own standards or not being good enough.

What if I won’t?
Expressing fear and doubt over not being able to commit or follow through.

I've never given it much thought
Admitting to not having seriously considered the implications of a certain decision or path before.

I've spent all my time proving all I've got
Focused too much on proving oneself to others rather than exploring and discovering oneself.

For the first time in a while I’m not prepared
Feeling unprepared for a new challenge or situation, after having felt confident in past experiences.

And frankly, I'm just a little scared
Admitting to being scared of the unknown or uncertain outcome of a decision or situation.

What if I'm not ready to earn my wings?
Questioning one's own readiness or worthiness to take on a new role or challenge.

It’s been a while since we met like this
Acknowledging the passage of time since the last time they met in a similar setting or conversation.

Please don’t fear as you can see
Reassuring the listener not to be afraid, as the singer has changed since their last meeting.

It’s something new that I’m getting used to
Describing the new experience as unfamiliar but gradually becoming more comfortable with it.

It’s still me under the figure
Assuring that they haven't fundamentally changed as a person despite any external changes or new responsibilities.

It’s still me, your friend
Reaffirming the friendship and emphasizing that the listener is still close to the singer.

I must be off to see her again
Referring to a mentor or someone who has been giving guidance or support in the past and whom the singer needs to meet again.

But this time, I'm so scared.
Expressing fear and anxiety over the upcoming meeting or what will be discussed.

I have to know why I was chosen
Questioning why the singer was chosen for a certain path or position, and seeking answers.

For a future involving us is all up in the air
The future of the relationship or involvement is uncertain and not yet determined.

This isn't the end, I swear
Reaffirming that the situation or relationship is not over and there will be more to come.

This isn't my last goodbye
Emphasizing that the singer is not saying the final goodbye or ending the relationship permanently.

I’ll will be back as soon as I’m able.
Promising to return when the opportunity arises.

I promise you, I promise you that I will see you again somehow
Reassuring the listener that they will meet again in the future despite the uncertain circumstances.

Somewhere? Someway? So maybe? No?
Expressing uncertainty and confusion over the specifics of the next meeting or occurrence.

I don’t want the power, I don’t want the fame, I don’t want these wings, I don’t want that name
Rejecting the trappings of power, fame, or a certain role that may come with certain responsibilities.

All I want to do is be right here, with all my friends that hold me dear
Prioritizing friendship and closeness over external achievements or responsibilities.

So to your offer I must decline, for destinies, I’m changing mine
Politely declining an offer or an expected path, in order to pursue a new destiny or direction.

Self-evident, all you said was true
Acknowledging the truth and validity of something that was previously stated or discussed.

I just don’t want… to be… like you.
Expressing the desire to not follow in someone else's footsteps or conform to their expectations or path, and to forge one's own destiny instead.
