about

"Just because I'm wondering, doesn't mean I'm lost"...

In a world buzzing with the ever increasing noise of the web; silence to find “self” is becoming a space of imagination. With fear of failure and the lie of instant success, individuality is more dependent on subscription rather than the sum of ones influences. Now realizing the “authentic you" is less “whom am I?” and more "who am I like? ". The vale of virtuality thickens. Stepping out on a REAL limb is now just "too risky".

Within this binary Babel exists the 'few'. Those with a sense of purpose, who despite imminent pitfalls, are willing to wander the desolation of the unknown in search of real meaning.

"Just because I'm wandering doesn't mean I'm lost".

lyrics

Verse 1

I don't have no answers
I don't ask no questions
Is it wrong is it right /I don't care I don't care Oh well I feel I'm afraid Of being scared of nothing Am I brave or a fool/ In the way of a wave that could save me or take me away Maybe I'm a tyrant A man of indifference Well I figure I could take it or leave it to chances that save me no pain

Pre Chorus
Maybe it's a matter of devotion
Maybe I don't have it but I hope some
Day
Somebody will show me the way
Until, I'm just a wondering wanderer

Chorus
Wondering wanderer
Wondering wanderer
Wondering wanderer
Ooooooooooo

Verse 2

Doesn't matter
Circumstance is neither here nor there
I live in the moment
Reprocusions
Him and I have never been cool
Friendly fire
I dodge it
Only to crash and burn
Safe inquisitions/ fairytale replies
I life full of unmet demands
And so I'm thinking ...

Pre Chorus
Maybe it's a matter of devotion
Maybe I don't have it but I hope some
Day
Somebody will show me the way
Until, I'm just a wondering wanderer

Chorus
Wondering wanderer
Wondering wanderer
Wondering wanderer
Ooooooooooo

Phenomenal classic. Composition and lyricism on point as always. Never reviewed this on here and just had to say it was one of my favorites of that year, easily. Mars Cruise

As soon as I heard the song Like Really I just had to buy the album. Then I finished listening to all the songs, and knew I made a good choice. Oddisee is one of the best hip hop artists on bandcamp. Devin Anderson
