Oh My My Lyrics – Sons Of The East

[Verse 1]
Well I found out
There ain’t nothing like it seems
And I’m stranger
In someone else’s dream
You’re another
Hiding love up under your sleeve
How do I get off of this train
Now that I’m on it

[Verse 2]
I spend all day

With music inside my head
It’s not a bad way
To spend a lifetime in the red
Well it’s easy
Doing the same thing that you know
Why I do I need to make a wish
When I got it

[Chorus]
Oh my my
What can I do now
I wanna hold on but I never know how
Taking on water but I’m bailing it out and it’s my life, yeah
How do I do it
How do I know
‘Cause I need a way to make it back home
Keep on trying and you’re taking on water
But it’s alright

[Verse 3]
Kicking up dust
Running round the same wishing well
And it’s a royal bust
When you gamble on yourself
Should I stay or go

Try my hand in another place
Do I jump from a running train
Just to get back on it

[Chorus]
Oh my my
What can I do now
I wanna hold on but I never know how
Taking on water but I’m bailing it out and it’s my life, yeah
How do I do it
How do I know
‘Cause I need a way to make it back home
Keep on trying and you’re taking on water
But it’s alright

[Chorus]
Oh my my
What can I do now
I wanna hold on but I never know how
Taking on water but I’m bailing it out and it’s my life , yeah
How do I do it
How do I know
‘Cause I need a way to make it back home
Taking on water but I’m bailing it out and it’s my life

[Verse 1]
This verse reflects a realization that things aren’t always what they seem. The singer feels like they’re living in someone else’s reality, distant and unfamiliar. They observe others concealing emotions (‘hiding love up under your sleeve’) and find themselves caught in a situation (‘on this train’) they’re unsure how to escape from.

[Verse 2]
The singer describes how they spend their days immersed in thoughts and music, perhaps finding solace in their inner world despite facing challenges (‘lifetime in the red’). They question the need for wishes when they already possess what they need, hinting at a struggle with contentment and the search for purpose.

[Chorus]
The chorus captures a sense of uncertainty and perseverance. The singer expresses a desire to hold on despite not knowing how (‘never know how’). They acknowledge the struggles (‘taking on water’) but continue to fight (‘bailing it out’). They seek a way to navigate life’s challenges and find their path back home, believing that despite difficulties, everything will be alright in the end.

[Verse 3]
This verse explores the frustration of repeating patterns (‘running round the same wishing well’) and the risks involved in self-discovery (‘gamble on yourself’). The singer questions whether to stay in a familiar place or venture into the unknown (‘try my hand in another place’), contemplating difficult decisions and the possibility of making drastic changes.

[Chorus]
Repeated for emphasis, the chorus reaffirms the singer’s determination and struggles. They reiterate their uncertainty (‘never know how’) but also their resilience in facing challenges (‘taking on water’). The quest for meaning and direction continues (‘way to make it back home’), portraying a journey of perseverance through life’s ups and downs.

[Chorus]
The final chorus echoes the themes of uncertainty, resilience, and the quest for direction. The singer grapples with holding on amidst challenges (‘wanna hold on but I never know how’) and acknowledges the ongoing struggle (‘taking on water’). Despite these difficulties, they remain steadfast in finding their way (‘way to make it back home’), symbolizing a journey of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
