To Be As I Be

The Lyrical Genesis: Every INFJ dreams of a place where the constant hum of expectation finally falls silent. This song imagines that place. A wide, salt-scented escape where the world no longer pulls at you. No phones, no clocks, no noise. Just time, the sea, and the slow rhythm of your own breathing. It’s a fantasy, yes, but it’s also a reminder: sometimes the truest self appears only when the rest of the world fades away. *** [Verse 1] No more I-phones No more people No more pleasing The passive sheeple I’ve got my toes in endless tan Some grass to spark a softer scan No memos, clocks, or checkout beeps Just coconut air and twelve-hour sleeps [Bridge 1] Adios, agenda! I’ve left the loop! Tuned out the nonsense, Skipped the group [Chorus 1] I’m free to be me To see as I see To say as I see To be as I be (Down here where the world lets me be) [Verse 2] I study tides and crab migrations Skip the news and allegations The sea repeats, the sand forgives This is the place where presence lives No horns, no queues, no veiled offense Just driftwood thoughts and salt-swept sense The days dissolve, the nights don't rush Even the breeze has learned to hush [Bridge 2] Back home, the texts keep ringing in “Where’ve you gone?” “You should check in!” But signal fades, and so do cares I trade their noise for coastal airs [Chorus 2] I’m free to be me To see as I see To say as I see To be as I be (Out here where the world sets me free) [Bridge 3 ] They say, “You can’t hide forever.” But forever’s not what I’m after. Just a moment that doesn’t apologize For feeling this good. [Final Chorus] I’m free to be me To see as I see To drift where I drift To sit where I sit (With tide and crab to keep me lit) [Outro] The world may call... But I don’t pick up.
