Why this, why that and why (feat. yello)

When i was thrown into this planet
I knew what’s going on
I was messing with my pacifier
All day long

Oh and i then i was twenty
And i didn’t have a clue
I was messing with my days

Trying to be true
Trying to dig out
The man that i could be
I was shouting loud to find this little me

He was stumbling through his days
What else then could he try
Looking for an answer

Why this?
Why that?
And why?

Oh and i then i was thirty
I thought i knew what it was all about
Cruising in the river

Like a silver trout
Swimming in the ocean
Respected by the sharks

Overnight the ocean turned out to be
Too dark
When i was diving deeper

There was no light no more
I couldn’t find the way out
The ocean has no door

And all the things that happened to pretty desperate guy
Leading to the question

Why this?
Why that?
And why?

I started to shout louder
What is this all about?
Struggling up the river

Not even half-way proud
For all the things that happened to this pretty desperate guy
Who was looking for an answer

Why this?
Whay that?
And why?
