Truman by DollyMavies

Truman is a song all about questioning the meaning of life and our origins and autonomy. Like the film (The Truman Show) the song questions our existence and whether or not we are the ones choosing our next steps, or whether it has been pre-determined for us? It is also a musical musing on whether we are getting lost in a electronic world and losing our sense of meaning and purpose.

Lyrics
Can we turn it around?
The sands of time are running out
Thought I was within
When I was without
It’s always greener somewhere else

And did we let it slip away?
Did we take it day by day?
Wasted moments
Too afraid
Of really living

Are we even real at all?
Sometimes this rock can feel so small
Am I a Truman in this tale?
Everyone’s watching
waiting for me to fail

And will we ever really know?
Are we all puppets in the show?
A grand revelation
when the curtains close
for the last time

Will you give me a break?
I’m on my laurels
my belly aches
I wish I was dreaming
But I’m wide awake
Noticing each and every breath I take

And will we ever play the part
Was it all over before it start?
Looking for salvation
In the lonely parts
Of living

Can we turn it around?
The sands of time are running out
Thought I was within
When I was without
It’s always greener somewhere else
