Decide
Junior Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get old
To be younger
Looking through a hole in the wall
To a place
I can wander
I still feel it
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 Iโฒve 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
Thereโฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like it's giving up
Thereโฒs just no waking up
Thereโฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like itโฒs 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
Thereโฒs just no waking up
Now my body's lived like itโฒs giving up
There's just no waking up
There's just no waking up
Now my bodyโฒs lived like itโฒs giving up

The line "Looking through a hole in the wall, to a place I can wander" implies that the singer is seeking an escape from reality, a place to wander and escape his troubles.
The chorus, "I still feel it, with my head still healing, let my heart decide" suggests that the singer is battling with some pain, perhaps emotional or physical, and is trying to move forward by following his heart. The line "Feeling like I've given enough to the ache? No thunder" reveals that the singer has endured enough pain and has given up on trying to achieve a breakthrough. The line "maybe if the sky would erode, I could breathe a little longer" suggests that the singer is feeling suffocated and would like to experience something new to feel like he's alive again.
In the bridge, "There's just no waking up, there's just no waking up, now my body's lived like it's giving up" suggests that the singer is feeling defeated and that his body is giving up on him.

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 :)
