I'm confused - the comments seem to be about the right song, but the lyrics above are for the song "Soak in the Sin."
here are the proper lyrics:
I wonder Lyrics
Album: Blind Melon
All alone in the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day is my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I tried
and oh I tried
Ooh
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose
And then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find
Now you see I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
So they will leave me be
Whoa, leave me be
Why am I even here?
I wonder
You leave me wondering
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.
Now they're watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
So they will leave me be
Whoa, leave me be
And I only wanted to be 16
And free
And I wonder
my two cents on "I Wonder": Seems like a story about a teenager in a psychiatric facility. He's depressed, but feels victimized by his incarceration, and he can't figure out why he's being punished for thinking and feeling things that simply come naturally to him. He simply tries to keep to himself but the staff are always watching him, examining him for signs that he's either becoming the person that they want him to be, a person that they're molding into their idea of a "sane" person after breaking him down through behavior modification, pschotropic medications and/or electrconvulsive therapy that screws wi/ his self image and recall ability.
All he ever wanted was to be a teenager that was free to deal with his problems in his own way as he grows and develops without being locked away like a rhesus monkey in a research lab.
