What Can I Do
Josh Galiano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They all just wanna know who I am
To be honest, I don't know
Get a lot of questions about my plans
I'm just sailing with the flow
Hey, how are you
What you do for work
I don't have the answer
All these voices that I have heard
Am I a singer or a dancer
What can I do
I'm just a human, I can make mistakes
I will get through
All these decisions that I have to make
What can I do
I'm just a human, I can make mistakes
I will get through
All these decisions that I have to make
Do you have a degree
No, I have experience
Don't need that paper s**t
I've said my words, so take me serious
At least a little bit
I realized that our world is broken
So I am here to fix it
No need for war, so I am hopin'
That we put the right stitches
What can I do
I'm just a human, I can make mistakes
I will get through
All these decisions that I have to make
I'll show you how to make all the fears subside
Trust your soul and mind
Baby come take the ride
Maybe not today
Don't think it's too late
You can press replay
It's okey, It's okey
I'll show you how to make all the fears subside
Trust your soul and mind
Baby come take the ride
Maybe not today
Don't think it's too late
You can press replay
It's okey
What can I do
Do
Do
All these decisions that I have to make
What can I do
I'm just a human, I can make mistakes
I will get through
All these decisions that I have to make
What can I do
I'm just a human, I can make mistakes




I will get through
All these decisions that I have to make

Overall Meaning

In Josh Galiano's song "What Can I Do," the lyrics capture the artist's introspection and uncertainty about his own identity and purpose in life. He expresses how people constantly inquire about who he is, but admits that he himself doesn't have all the answers. This highlights a relatable struggle of not always knowing one's own path or having a clear sense of direction.


The artist metaphorically compares his journey to sailing with the flow, suggesting that he is taking life as it comes and embracing uncertainty. He acknowledges the various voices he has heard, questioning whether he is meant to be a singer or a dancer, further emphasizing his internal conflict and the pressure he feels to define his identity.


Amidst the confusion, Galiano acknowledges his human nature and the fact that he can make mistakes. He acknowledges the difficulty of the decisions he has to make, but displays resilience and determination to find his way through. This conveys a message of self-acceptance and the importance of learning from mistakes and persevering.


The lyrics also touch on societal expectations, particularly regarding education and qualifications. Galiano dismisses the significance of having a degree, instead valuing his own experiences and passion as the foundation for his credibility. He aims to be taken seriously, despite not following the conventional path.


The chorus offers a sense of hope and empowerment, as Galiano encourages listeners to trust themselves and step away from their fears. He suggests that it's never too late to make a change or start anew, using the metaphor of pressing "replay" to emphasize the possibility of a fresh beginning. It ultimately conveys a message of self-belief, urging individuals to take control of their own lives and purposefully make decisions that align with their values and aspirations.
