A look at a man dealing with depression, who finds himself in charge of a family. He searches for a better life, while fighting to not give up on his dreams.

lyrics

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN

took a ride by myself tonight
i’ve always liked this time of night
my thoughts take me down a darker road
i do my best not to let it get out of control

and it’s alright, you didn’t listen to yourself
it’s alright, it’s hard to hear over the noise

now i’m back where i want to be
underneath my family tree
i’ll dig a moat and fill it up with fire
around our rented castle
on the south side of town

it’s alright, i didn’t listen to myself
it’s alright, it’s hard to hear over the noise

you live your life like an open book
don’t get so mad when i take a look
i go back and forth with you my friend
on what exactly it means to be a man
i don't know

it’s alright, i didn’t listen to myself
it’s alright, it’s hard to hear over the noise

so don’t quit
don’t give up on your dream
‘cause if you break
you’ll never know exactly what it means

it’s alright, you didn’t listen to yourself
it’s alright, it’s hard to hear over the noise
