Déjà Vu
Joey Calderaio Lyrics

I've never been here before
I have no recollection of ever being in this place

Why does it look so familiar?
Despite never being here before, everything seems recognizable and known to me

Am I lost in a dream?
I question my reality, wondering if I'm in a dream-state

But I know I'm not dreaming
I've come to the realization that I am not asleep, but in fact in a strange situation

This is déjà vu
I recognize the feeling of having experienced this before

I remember being here but I don't remember you
I recognize the environment but cannot recall the people around me

Do you know my name?
I question if the people around me remember me and my identity

Do you know where I've been?
I'm curious if anyone recognizes where I've been and what I've gone through

We are not the same
Despite the familiarity of the environment, I realize that those around me are different from me

Why do you look just like me
I question the similarity between myself and those around me

Look a little closer
I suggest to those around me to take a closer look and examine the details

Oh it cannot be
I come to a shocking realization and begin to doubt my own beliefs

Staring at the mirror
I look at myself in the mirror, examining my own reflection

Now I could see clearer
I've gained a better understanding of the situation after self-reflection

Right in front of me was a face full of terror
As I looked in the mirror, I saw a face full of fear and terror

The clock is ticking is on the shelf
I observe a clock on the shelf, indicating the passing of time

Time passing by as I stare into myself
As I reflect on myself, I notice how quickly time passes

I don't like what I see
I am not satisfied with what I have observed

Thinking it's time for a change of scenery
I decide that it's time for a fresh start and a new environment

These memories, memories won't fade
I cannot forget the memories of this situation

They constantly hit replay
The memories keep replaying in my mind

Its not clear to me, What is meant to be
I am unsure of the purpose or meaning behind this situation

In this fantasy, Woah oh
I feel as if I'm in a dream-state, but it's real

No remedy, remedy will change
There is no cure or solution that can change the situation

I'll always remain the same
I will stay true to who I am despite the situation

What you gonna do, Stuck in déjà vu, Am I breaking through to you?
I'm questioning my situation and whether or not others understand what I'm going through

Press against my temples as I lay here with my thoughts
I physically press against my head while deep in thought

Coming to my senses to process what I saw
I am trying to make sense of what I've experienced and witnessed

Oh no, I know it cannot be
I'm coming to grips with the reality of the situation and it's not what I expected

The demons I was fighting with turned out to be me
I realize that I am my own worst enemy

The repetition trips me up, My brain is looping thoughts
The constant repetition and replay of memories and thoughts is causing frustration and confusion

Caught a case of bad luck, What you gonna do when you come to realize you're stuck in déjà vu?
I feel as if I'm experiencing a string of unfortunate events and am questioning how to escape the cycle of déjà vu

Coming to grips and I can feel what's right in front of me
I am beginning to understand and accept the reality of the situation

Slipped from my hands and I can see it quickly vanishing
Something that was once in my control is fading away and I am powerless to stop it

How will I know what these visions are communicating?
I am questioning the purpose or message behind the visions

Coming from within, Déjà vu will soon return again
I feel as if the déjà vu is internal and will continue to reoccur

Am I walking in my sleep?, Am I lucid dreaming?
I'm questioning whether my reality is real or if I'm in a dream-state
