what it is
J.Rocwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got nothing I could leave
I got things that you should see
I went riding all around
Hit the pass, I built this sound
Tried to picture it going down
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Felt a pull I pulled away
We got nothing that I'll say
Still I feel it's not this way
Waiting nothing's going down
Can't seem to get it off the ground
Seeing if I'll come around
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Or is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
I know my soul is battered
And I know my mind is gone
I been waiting for an answer
But the question takes too long
I need guidance on the river
I need everything I've done
So familiar's coming at me
Don't wanna blow it all at once
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Or is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
The lyrics of J.Rocwell's song "What It Is" is a reflection on the artist's personal struggle to find a sense of purpose and direction in life. The opening stanza suggests that the singer has achieved a certain level of material success, yet none of it seems to be fulfilling. He has things that others should see but still is lacking something in his life. The second stanza talks about him taking a ride and trying to picture his life going down a certain direction. There is a sense of restlessness and feeling stuck in his life.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is waiting for something to happen, for something to change. He repeats the line "come on wait for me" four times, emphasizing his hunger for change. The next verse suggests that he has been feeling some inner conflict and waiting for an answer for a long time. He wants guidance and a direction for his life. He feels like he might be close to a breakthrough but doesn't want to lose everything he has in the process.
In the end, the chorus repeats with the addition of the phrase "is it you." The whole song suggests a search for something that has not been found yet. The lyrics are sparse but evoke a strong sense of longing and introspection.

I went riding all around
I explored various places
Hit the pass, I built this sound

Tried to picture it going down
I attempted to imagine the success of the music
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Please wait for my confirmation on the completion of the task
Felt a pull I pulled away
I experienced an internal struggle and distanced myself from it
We got nothing that I'll say
There is nothing of substance to discuss
Still I feel it's not this way
Despite the lack of important matters, I sense that something is not right
Waiting nothing's going down
While waiting, no noteworthy events are unfolding
Can't seem to get it off the ground
I am struggling to initiate the task
Seeing if I'll come around
Assessing whether I will eventually agree or comply
Or is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Could it be that you are the cause?
I know my soul is battered
My spiritual and emotional self has experienced significant damage
And I know my mind is gone
I am aware that my mental state is not optimal
I been waiting for an answer
I have been anticipating a response or solution
But the question takes too long
The inquiry or problem is taking an excessive amount of time to address
I need guidance on the river
I require assistance to navigate through a difficult situation
I need everything I've done
I am in need of recognition and validation for my efforts
So familiar's coming at me
Instances of previously encountered situations are recurring
Don't wanna blow it all at once
I do not want to risk losing everything in a single event
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Could you be the reason why I am experiencing this difficulty?
