show me (commentary) Songtext

Show me


For a very long time in my life I wanted to be in control of everything
I also wanted to understand everyone
And all the things around me
But that′s impossible
And, later in life, I realised
That there are so many things you can't really control at all
And so many things you can′t even properly describe in words
And there are so many things in life you can't make sense of, at all
And the song "Show Me" is about being ok with all of that
And that there is this interesting beauty in not knowing exactly what something means
It's ok to be not 100% sure where life is going to take you
You′ll never really know anyway
And I guess you have to be at peace knowing that life is so unpredictable
During the "album1" writing process I really started to accept and embrace this mindset
And the first couple of lines of "Show Me"
Really capture that feeling
"I am floating out to sea
Time will take it all from me
Don′t know where the wind will take me now
But we'll see"
Yeah, like I said "Show Me" is just about being ok
With not being too sure where life is going to take you
Speaking about the music side of things
I′m really happy with how the drop turned out
These sparkly guitars
With this heavy 'A′-weight bass that
I think the contrast between those things is very pretty
(Sorry guys I got really thirsty)
