Neón - worldview Lyrics

This is my worldview
I hope it goes through
Let's break the tall walls
Between me and you

This is how I feel
Turning twenty two
I'm gonna write it down
In this song for you

Gliding across these borders
And these boundaries with my fingers
On a world map that's much larger
Than my narrow viewfinder

Of my own perception
Conceived from reflection
Always out of focus
Is this a rose or a lotus?

Living multiple lifetimes
All at once, in my mind
Speeding through the red lights
The sparks of friction ignite

As I slam down the brakes
Hold my breath and wait
Always out of time
Did I cross the line?

Bustling streets and neon lights
All our lives are intertwined
Not just me who feels like I'm
Stuck in this world that we define

This is my worldview
I hope it goes through
Above the noise
That keeps us up at night

This is how I feel
Trying to sit still
Can't help but wander
What's more for me to do?

Reading these newspapers
Stories of war and disaster
There's so much more to ponder
Outside my little shelter

All of this darkness, all of this pain
How much evil can one contain?
The rich get richer, the poor complain
Is there a way to leave this game?

Railway tracks and limousines,
Side by side, we compete
We want a house, we want a ring,
Anything for that aesthetic

This is my worldview,
I hope it goes through
We're all so caught up
With our likes and views

This is how I feel
About my own pursuits
Kinda ironic
That tis' the life I choose

We don't know what we have till it's all gone
The footprints that we left when the lights come on
We see ruins of an era bygone
The promise of forever's only so long

So Imma keep on writing these songs
Telling these stories of my life & more
One in a billion, who can hear me roar
From a tiny little room, in Singapore

Now that I'm 23, it seems clear to me
All that I hope for, will come back to me
Don't need to worry, it's all part of me
This is our story, so please do fill me in
