Wandering
Radical Face Lyrics

I fall asleep in a comforting mess
I feel at ease amidst the chaos and clutter around me, and this helps me drift off to sleep.

The room is yellow and the windows the deadest white
The room I'm in has a dull, lifeless color scheme that makes everything seem drab and uninteresting.

I smell the ghost of your dinner
I can still smell the remnants of the meal you cooked, even though you're not here with me.

And the space heater is glowing like a miniature gate to hell
The heater I'm using is hot and uncomfortable, almost like it's a portal to a fiery inferno.

I hear the dogs as I dress myself
I can hear the barking of the dogs outside as I get dressed for my departure.

I pin the letter on the back of a paper plate
I attach the letter I've written to the back of a disposable plate, which seems trivial but is the best option I have.

It tells you that I'm gone now
The letter I wrote informs you that I've left and won't be returning any time soon.

And I'm sorry if I don't make it back
I'm expressing regret in advance in case I'm not able to return to you at all.

Well, I know it's a good life
I understand that my life up until now has been fortunate and enjoyable.

But I've gotta keep moving
Despite the good life I've had, I feel compelled to keep traveling and seeing new things.

I was made to keep moving
I believe that it's part of my destiny or purpose to constantly be on the move and exploring new places.

And I know it's a long shot
I realize that my goals and dreams are lofty and unlikely to come to fruition.

It was always a long shot
I've known for a while that my ambitions are difficult to achieve, and I accept that challenge.

But I'm trusting my aim now
Despite the odds against me, I'm starting to believe that I can accomplish what I set out to do.

Yeah, I'm trusting my aim
I have faith in myself and my abilities to achieve my goals, despite the uncertainty ahead.

But I've gotta keep moving
Again, I feel a strong sense of urgency to keep moving, even though it may not be easy or comfortable.

I've gotta stay on the move
Continuing to travel and explore is essential for me to feel fulfilled and purposeful in life.

I had a dream but I called it a plan
I had a vision for what I wanted to achieve, but I tried to make it more concrete and realistic by calling it a plan.

A stream of hopes that I figured would serve me well
My ambitions were like a river of possibilities that I imagined would ultimately benefit me in some way.

But then the dream turned sour
Unfortunately, my plans did not pan out as I had hoped, and my ambitions began to crumble.

Sometimes delusions aren't the comfort you want them to be
I learned that sometimes it's better to confront reality head-on, rather than clinging to false hope or unrealistic expectations.

Now I'm broke and my luck's run out
My finances are depleted and I've hit a rough patch in life where things seem to be going wrong at every turn.

My new acquaintances will never be someone to trust
I've met new people along my travels, but I don't feel like I can rely on them or trust them with my problems.

My house is now a grave yard
The place I once called home is now a symbol of loss and disappointment, like a cemetery for my shattered dreams.

And it's hard to fall asleep with no one watching your back
I feel vulnerable and alone, and it's difficult to feel at ease when I'm not sure if someone has my best interests in mind.

Well, you've got my name now it's all the same
I don't have much to offer anymore, so you can have my name and everything that goes with it.

It don't mean much but you can have it all
My name and my possessions are not worth much, but I'm willing to part with them if it helps you in some way.

And I sold my heart for another start
I made sacrifices in order to start over and pursue a new chapter in my life.

I had my face burnt, I shattered it all
I suffered setbacks and hardships that caused my confidence and sense of self-worth to crumble.

Now the price is a big one
The cost of pursuing my dreams and ambitions has been steep, and I'm not sure if it was all worth it.

Though my mind is made up (well, I'm having a good life)
Despite the challenges I've faced, I'm still determined to keep moving and seek out new experiences.

And I'm no different now, but (yeah, I'm having a good life)
I haven't fundamentally changed as a person, but my circumstances and outlook have shifted, and there are positive aspects to my life.

I follow the questions (but I had to keep moving)
I'm constantly seeking out new knowledge and experiences, even if it means leaving familiar places and people behind.

because I'm bored with the answers, I'm bored with the answers (but I had to keep moving)
I'm unsatisfied with the status quo and need to challenge myself and my assumptions in order to grow and find meaning in life.

Sure I missed a lot (and I know that I messed up)
I know that by pursuing my dreams, I've had to sacrifice other things and opportunities along the way.

And I'm no better off but (yeah, I know that I messed up)
Despite my efforts, I'm not necessarily in a better position than before, and I recognize that I've made mistakes along the way.

Sitting idle ain't a thing I was built for (but I still gotta keep moving)
I need to keep pushing forward and striving for new experiences, because I feel restless when I'm not working towards something.

I gotta keep moving, gotta stay on the move (yeah, I still gotta move)
Continuing to pursue my ambitions and explore new horizons is essential for me to feel fulfilled and purposeful in life.

Well, I'm having a good life
Despite the challenges I've faced, there are still positive aspects to my life and things that I'm grateful for.

But I had to keep moving
The urge to travel and explore is deeply ingrained in me, and I couldn't be content with staying in one place.

But I still gotta keep moving
Even though my experiences have been mixed, I still feel compelled to keep seeking out new adventures and opportunities.
