Decide
Junior Empire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking for a place I can go
To get old
To be younger
Looking through a hole in the wall
To a place
I can wander

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

Feeling like Iโ€ฒve given enough
To the ache?
No thunder
Maybe if the sky would erode
I could breathe
A little longer

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

There's just no waking up
Thereโ€ฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like it's giving up
Thereโ€ฒs just no waking up
Thereโ€ฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like itโ€ฒs giving up

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide
I still feel it
With my head still healing
Let my heart decide

There's just no waking up
Thereโ€ฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like itโ€ฒs giving up
There's just no waking up




There's just no waking up
Now my bodyโ€ฒs lived like itโ€ฒs giving up

Line by Line Meaning

Looking for a place I can go
I'm seeking an environment that I can inhabit


To get old
Where I can age in peace


To be younger
To escape the pressures and stress of adulthood


Looking through a hole in the wall
Peeping through a portal to a different world


To a place
To somewhere new and unexplored


I can wander
Where I can roam freely and unencumbered


I still feel it
I'm still struggling with the hurt and pain


With my head still healing
My mind is still recovering from the trauma


Let my heart decide
But I must let my intuition guide me


Feeling like I've given enough
I feel like I've done all that I can do


To the ache?
To alleviate the suffering I've endured


No thunder
But there's no dramatic resolution


Maybe if the sky would erode
If the heavens were to open up and change


I could breathe
Then maybe I could finally get some relief


There's just no waking up
I don't know how to snap out of this


Now my body's lived like it's giving up
My physical being is drained and tired

Why exactly did you have to be in your underwear? Did it have some artistic meaning?
Quite brave tho. Most people are ashamed of their bodies when they should not be :)
