What Have I Done
St. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found some silence among those trees
Tried to keep up with some nice talking
What have I done
I walked the stairs to my room
Spent some time on another song
Stayed away for three hours
They did not know
Questions run inside my head
Tried to keep up
With some nice talking
What have I done
I'm gone away for some time
I will never settle down
I'll keep myself away from you
I will never settle down
I'm gone away for some time
I will never settle down
I'll keep myself away from you
I will never settle down
The lyrics to "What Have I Done" by St. Thomas showcase the inner turmoil of the artist as he retreats into isolation and tries to figure out his next moves. The opening lines describe how he seeks refuge in the living room, among the quiet of trees while struggling to maintain a pleasant conversation with his friends or family. He retreats to his room, where he spends three hours working on a song, all the while wondering what he has done. St. Thomas then walks around in circles, grappling with his thoughts and trying to keep up with the outside world as he contemplates his actions.
In the chorus, St. Thomas declares his desire to leave and never settle down. He wants to keep himself away from the people around him and embrace solitude, possibly as a way of finding himself or achieving some sort of inner peace. The lyrics convey a sense of restlessness, uncertainty, and a need to escape the pressures of daily life. The song is a poignant reflection of the artist's state of mind, and the stark honesty of the lyrics resonates with listeners who can relate to the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.

I went to the living room
I moved into the room where everyone was gathered
Found some silence among those trees
I found some peace amidst the chatter and noise
Tried to keep up with some nice talking
I tried to join in with the pleasant conversation
What have I done
I realized that something had happened or changed
I walked the stairs to my room
I went upstairs to my own space
Spent some time on another song
I used music to help me cope with my emotions
Stayed away for three hours
I avoided being around others for a while
They did not know
No one else was aware of my actions or feelings
So I walked around in circles
I was lost or confused and didn't know what to do
Questions run inside my head
I was plagued by doubts and uncertainties
Tried to keep up
I attempted to maintain a facade of normalcy
With some nice talking
By pretending to engage in pleasant conversation
What have I done
I questioned my own actions and decisions
I'm gone away for some time
I am leaving to retreat from the situation
I will never settle down
I don't plan on staying in one place or situation for long
I'll keep myself away from you
I don't want to be around whoever the 'you' refers to
I will never settle down
I'll keep moving and searching for something new
