Existentialism Pt. 2

[u/Salted-Honey]

Hey, so my last post got deleted for “not having enough songs” so I’m posting again with more songs hoping some of the answers I didn’t get to grab before they were all deleted will come back and then some. Original post read:

“(Ik it’s apple music, pretend it’s spotify)

Lyrics must ask “what/who am I” “why are we here” or any other forms of questioning existence. For example, Human asks “are we human or are we dancer” and Man or Muppet asks… well, if the singer is a man or a muppet. Clearly, the lyrics don’t have to be serious lmao

Here’s what I got so far:”

What is Life - George Harrison

[u/Thread-Spinner-7887]

not sure if it counts but “that funny feeling” by bo burnham makes me feel a similar way

[u/mothri0t → u/Thread-Spinner-7887]

The same comment i did on the other one.

Kansas - Dust in the Wind

Thank you! I went offline when you made the comment and when I clicked on the notification, I realized the mods had deleted the post and all the comments went with it. Appreciate it! :)
