Duke Ellington
Are You? (Take The “A” Train Fantasia)
[Intro: Andreo]
One life, one try… Hit it!
[Verse 1: Noir]
I’m feeling down I’m feeling happy
My soul is up, it’s feeling ecstatic
Conscientiousness, mood
Both show a lot compassion now
I’m feeling high up, too high up to fall down
Since you’ve been gone my mind’s truly shone
Exploration in full effect, new places, faces met
Been rehearsing for this moment
Don’t wanna let it slip
Don’t wanna be indifferent
Wanna see you moving on and leap!
And do your own thing, try out new things
Like going where someone sings
Nothing better than new life experiences
Fulfilling the empty void with an urge to co-exist
[Interlude: Noir & Andreo]
So, what arе you doing? Something?
And how are you doing? Uh, okay, I guess?
Havе you asked someone how their well-being’s been doing?
[Chorus 1: Andreo & Noir]
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you truly yourself or just part time?
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you feeling yourself or let the feeling die?
[Bridge 1: Noir]
Let’s go Andreo
Listen to us now while we spit these words
These are metaphors on metaphors into a verse
Listen to us while we spit these sentences
These are words upon words and intense them is
[Spoken Word: Noir & Andreo]
And that’s how I feel, you know? How I think a person feels
Entrapped and engulfed in a society where everyone must conform
To the rules and the rulers the one inhabits
But wasn’t the point of living your life to be good?
[Verse 2: Noir]
No! I don’t wanna be good
I just wanna be me, don’t feel you agree?
To be what you seek, not what others think
To ask yourself questions, an then make revelations
So little trust in these last couple of months
Striving to make it better to make it all up
No luck, no luck, what do I lack?
Is the problem in me or does the world just suck?
[Chorus 2: Andreo & Noir]
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you truly yourself or just part time?
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you counting yourself out or counter clockwise?
[Bridge 2: Noir]
Not everything is make-believe
Some things are real (just wait and see)
Not everyone is strong or weak
Some things are to be in between
Not everyone is destined to be
Some things aren’t to be foreseen
Not everything is black or bleak
Go search for truth if that’s what you seek
[Chorus 3: Andreo & Noir]
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you truly yourself or just part time?
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you feeling yourself or let the feeling die?
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you truly yourself or just part time?
Are you living your life or living mine?
Are you in search of meaning that coincides?
Are you bound to find truth or where it lies
Are you counting yourself out or counter clockwise?
