answering - joel (sweden) lyrics
grew up in middle cl-ss, i grew up on welfare
weekdays with moms, weekends at foster care
and i visit my father too, at his apartment
still remember a thing or two, i kept it in compartments
the reason that i’m writing this isn’t to start sh-t
i’m just jogging my memory, so don’t think i’m heartless
this is just the smartest, solution needed to process
that most of my life has been garbage
but it all started before we decided to be departed
couldn’t think of a better way to start this
off with, i see a lot of broken fathers
not a lot of guidance provided
on how to handle it and no one bothers
looking at the patterns of parents who leave
is it the genetics or is it a thing that repeats?
slowly started evaluating what i was told as a teen
gradually developed a disbelief…
_______
towards everything, wanna know some things
questioning anything, but no one is answering, me
about anything, wanna know some things
questioning everything, but no one is answering, me
_______
guess it’s time to open up this chapter
back to ’95, where my father still mattered
had me every second weekend, remember laughter
remembered a few things, but nothing that mattered
bending over backwards, searching for answers
as to why he disappeared and never came after
that weekend two weeks before
my mother claimed he came knocking on the door
with a cast around of his arm, said he’d be gone
didn’t know for how long, never really questioned my mom
cuz i didn’t have a reason, not to believe anyone
especially not a person i’m supposed to count on
came to find out, he’s ten minutes away from
the place i’m located, and that was a strange one
did he know about my place? i’m-
contemplating if we ever p-ssed each other on occasions
_______
questioning everything, wanna know some things
just about anything, but no one is answering, me
about everything, wanna know some things
questioning anything, but no one is answering, me
_______
don’t even know if he listens?
don’t know a thing about him, really have no interest
lived my life for 16 years without him in it?
so why would i need him now? it’s past my limit
what he did, is the reason i have no image
with him still in the picture, wish it sounded less cynic
wish i was less timid, but i guess that’s what i get
for being upset with it, confess that i regret
a lot that i didn’t, and of course i reflect
about this whole inhibit
way of approaching anything i find different?
but i was told, once i wasn’t alone with it
like it would sooth my soul if it
came to my knowledge how cold the world is if
we get broken down as kids and lose spirit
most of us tend to go around incoherent
_______
towards everything, wanna know some things
questioning anything, but no one is answering, me
about anything, wanna know some things
questioning everything, but no one is answering, me
