I WONDER
Kwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many times I've been alone with sadness in my mind
Too many times I've had lack of faith
Too many times at home frustrated and no rhyme
Yo, too many sleepless nights nightmares
Of the too many emcees without mics
Mics don't work without lyrics
Desk full of empty papers, pens broken
Poetry to the beat of the music
It sounds so easy and I try and I try
But the trick don't work
I must get sleep now
Somehow, but I can't, so I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that sound
I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that sound
I wonder
Too many times I've given up
Too many times the cry of pain echoes in my room
Too many times
Too many nights
Doing nothin', just waitin' if the flower would bloom
Yo, I'm totally empty
Insomnia every night
My head is like after lobotomy
I can't write
I want my booklet out of my sight
Fireplace is the right place to place my booklet
Where's my light
Relax no panic
I need to moderate
Artificial respiration to prevent headache
I must get sleep now
Somehow, but I can't, so I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that sound
I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that sound
I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that song
I wonder
How did the blow the horn like that (like that)
How did the slip the finger like that (like that)
How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)
How did he come up with that song
I wonder
Sounds like I wonder
Sounds like I wonder
Sounds like I wonder

Kwan expresses frustration with his lack of progress and the feeling that he is wasting time waiting for inspiration. He exemplifies the difficult process in searching for creativity and a sense of purpose, as he struggles to produce something he is proud of.
