lyrics

You look at me as I am now and then extrapolate
You say there’s good in me but I just want to amputate
The parts that make me sad, the parts I’ve never had
So I can start anew

I have a coping mechanism that I put in place
I remove every emotion from my hollow face
It’s just a thing I do, it’s just a thing I do
When I’m confused

I have a feeling that I’m losing my mind
Cannot deny this is a difficult time
And yet I’m telling everybody I love that I’m fine
I have to pull myself together again
Give something back to all my family and friends
It’s such a pressure on my temporal lobe
But I still have hope

I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day I’ll be free
I’m gonna prove that I’m not already gone
I’m not delirious
I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day you’ll be proud
Instead of saving me from every mistake
I’m deadly serious

And when you break it down you say it’s psychological
I look at things in the wrong way, I’m too illogical
And when it matters most, when it matters most
I fall apart

A broken heart, a broken soul, a broken everything
My inability to mend is at the route of it
If I could find a fix, if I could find a fix
To be a better me

I got a feeling that I’m losing my mind
Cannot deny this is a difficult time
And yet I’m telling everybody I love that I’m fine
I have to pull myself together again
Give something back to all my family and friends
It’s such a pressure on my temporal lobe
But I still have hope

I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day I’ll be free
I’m gonna prove that I’m not already gone
I’m not delirious
I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day you’ll be proud
Instead of saving me from every mistake
I’m deadly serious

I’m going to be who I need to be
Love who I wanna love
Live how I wanna live
Be a better version of me
Be who I need to be
Love who I wanna love
Live how I wanna live
Be a better version of me
Be who I need to be
Love who I wanna love
Live how I wanna live
Be a better version of me
Be who I need to be
Love who I wanna love
Live how I wanna live
Be a better version of me

I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day I’ll be free
I’m gonna prove that I’m not already gone
I’m not delirious
I want to be a better version of me
I have a vision that one day you’ll be proud
Instead of saving me from every mistake
I’m deadly serious

I’m gonna be, be, be, be, be what I wanna to be
Love, love, love, love, who I wanna love
Live, live, live, live, live how I wanna live
Be, be, be, be, be a better version of ….

The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
