Turtle
My Heart Is a Metronome Lyrics

Someone said the world is balanced On some poor old turtle's shell
Is there a deeper meaning to the world we live in? A theory claims that the world is like a turtle carrying everything on its back, and this raises the question of whether it's true or just another myth.

Is there truth to this my friend?
The singer is asking whether the theory is true or just a fanciful legend.

Cuz' I want this to take me places Places I have never been Make it worth the wait of staying here Make it worth the time I've left behind
The singer desires to explore the unknown and hopes that this theory will open up new horizons and prove to be worth the time and effort.

Is there more to this existence? Are there that many ways to go?
The artist is curious about the vast possibilities and different directions one can take in life, beyond what the theory suggests.

Cuz' I don't even know where I am now No I don't even know where I am now
The artist is lost and unsure of their current place in life, adding to the sense of confusion and searching for meaning.

See I'm not scared of getting answers I'm not scared of finding out I don't often cry But tonight I do
The singer is not afraid of seeking answers and finding out the truth, but acknowledges the emotional impact this process can bring, leading to tears.

And I'd give my eyes Just to find out If this is it Then it's alright
The singer is willing to sacrifice everything, including their sight, just to find out if the theory holds true, as it would bring a sense of clarity and fulfillment.

I don't think you'll ever find me I don't think I'm comin' home Cuz' I don't even know where I am from No, I don't even know where I am from
The artist feels so lost and disconnected that they don't believe anyone can locate them, nor do they feel a connection to their origin or past life to provide them with a sense of belonging.

So I'll be runnin' up all mountains Asking stars 'bout where to go I don't often cry But tonight I do
The artist is willing to go to great lengths, even seeking advice from the stars, to find direction and purpose, despite the emotional vulnerability it brings.

Take my eyes
The artist is willing to give up their sight to find the answers they seek, emphasizing the extent of their desire for clarity and understanding.

Is there more to this my friend? Cuz' I am gonna give it all this time
The singer reiterates their curiosity and determination to explore every avenue possible and find out the truth, no matter what it takes.

And I'd give my eyes Just to find out If this is it Then it's alright
The artist seeks the truth above all else, placing value on knowing the reality of the world and their existence, even if it means giving up something as precious as their eyesight.
