Trynna Finda Way
Nelly Furtado Lyrics

I left my heart in San Francisco with some club kids
I had a great time with some new friends in the big city, but I miss them and the fun already.

On a crowded street somewhere
We were probably in a busy city district or neighborhood where lots of people were around.

The sky was red and he said
The sky was likely turning colors as evening approached or as a result of pollution, and a man I met spoke to me during this time.

"Would you like to come be a part of my North American dream?"
The man I met had big ambitions for life and invited me to join him in pursuing them, specifically in North America.

I could try to chase life down
I feel like I should be living a more exciting or satisfying life, and I might try to make that happen.

Down the street and I'd find
I might go out and explore, and I feel like I'd find something new or interesting just by walking around.

The separation of fact and fiction
Real life and entertainment or stories can be blurred and it can be hard to tell them apart.

I left my conscience somewhere with my rhythm
I've been a bit careless lately with my behavior and choices, and it's probably because I've also lost touch with my morals and values.

I heard about it from the mouth of a man
Someone else told me about my conscience, as if they'd seen me do something wrong.

He was hopping some trains and combing the land
The person who told me about my conscience was a bit of a vagabond or traveler, maybe even homeless and riding trains.

Looking for a lover planted in the east
The vagabond was searching for someone they missed, who might have gone to the eastern part of the country or world.

Tryna run from the dreaded fist beast, beast, beast
The vagabond was afraid of something or someone, and needed to stay moving to avoid it or them.

And it lies and lies
Something or someone is deceiving me, possibly a romantic partner or some other person I've put trust in.

In the picket fence call
Even something as ordinary-seeming as a fence can contain secrets, betrayals, or hidden meanings.

It was my own paradise with
I often think of home or a specific place as a paradise, but maybe it's not as perfect as I imagine when I'm away from it.

My own private corridor
Even within my paradise, there's a private and hidden space that's just for me, and it might be where I keep some of my secrets or treasures.

So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed
I've had an epiphany or a new idea while resting and alone, and it's made me want to dance or follow a new rhythm in life.

My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead
Instead of holding back or being timid, I'm allowing my creative, energetic side to shine and be more obvious to others.

And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said
A sense of whimsy or possibility came over me, as if a childhood fairy tale was real and telling me to pursue my dreams.

"Evolve your destiny, child, and you'll never walk alone, no
The idea of making my own destiny and embracing the unknown appealed to me, and I felt like I'd never be lonely if I did this.

You'll never walk alone," but
Despite the encouraging message, I'm still feeling some hesitation or doubt about changing my life path.

Travel to the land of surrender
I need to give up or let go of some things that are holding me back from being myself or reaching my goals.

'Til you can't cry no more
I might need to experience some emotional pain or release before I can fully move on and make changes.

And you'll never walk alone
As I make changes and pursue my own destiny, I'll find companionship and support along the way.

All this inspiration is passing me by
There's a lot of exciting things happening around me, but I feel like I'm not engaged or participating in them fully.

All I can do is chill when I really wanna fly
Even though I have ambitions and energy, I'm not sure how to best use them, and I feel like I'm not doing enough.

And this pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind
The negativity, gossip, or drama I encounter on a daily basis is damaging my mental health and outlook.

Faster than forever in the blink of an eye
Life can change quickly and it's easy to miss opportunities or let them pass by.

To see past my lethargy is hard I feign
I'm pretending to be lazy or uninterested in things, but really I'm struggling internally and don't want to admit it.

The beauty of my youth is gone
I miss the excitement and potential of being young and carefree, and worry that I've lost something important.

But the chemicals remain
Even though I'm past my prime, I might still rely on substances or other things to keep me going, whether physically or mentally.

They're fighting
My internal angel and devil, or different desires, are in conflict and make it hard to make choices.

They're fighting, they're fighting for my attention
These different voices or impulses are both competing for my attention, making it hard for me to focus or make choices.

Hello? You have my attention
I know there's something I should be focusing on or listening to, but I'm not sure what it is yet.

Do I have your attention? Can I have your attention, please?
Maybe I want someone else to pay attention to me or acknowledge me, so I keep offering my own attention and energy.

Please, you've made such, such, such an impression on me
I'm craving affirmation, maybe from someone in particular, and I want them to know that I really appreciate them and admire them.
