Cover art for What I Am lyrics by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians

That lyric puzzled me in the 1980's until I heard her in an interview. She wasn't commenting on the song lyric but she was commenting that her personality was one that wasn't into thinking "deep" and wanted to keep things simple. I figure that lyric says just that...I'd rather die now than try to figure it all out. What I am is a simple saying...why figure it out?!
