Acapella

I'm feelin' such a vacancy, I don't feel whole (oh, oh)

Wish I can put my finger on it but I don't know what it is

Looked in every place I could see

Try'na to find the missing part of me I can't explain this feeling (feeling)
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles

And I ain't even goin' nowhere I'm lost in the middle of nowhere Something is missing Can somebody help me? Something is missing I'm missing a part of me Something is missing Show me what it is Show me what's missing Missing
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Boom, clap! (x4) Clap!
I'm in a dark room in a bad position

I'm lookin' for the light to restore my vision (vision)

Guess I'm walkin' blind, I keep falling down, I can't find my way I can't explain this feeling
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles And I ain't even going nowhere I'm lost in the middle of nowhere Something is missing Can somebody help me? Something is missing I'm missing a part of me Something is missing Show me what it is Show me what's missing Missing
Feels like I'm leavin' something behind Can't think straight, something's on my mind

Can't pay attention, 'cause I'm oh so broke Can't find the words, 'cause they all been spoke

The answer's got to be right in my face (oh, oh) What I gotta do to fill this empty space? Ohh
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles (circles) And I ain't even goin' nowhere I'm lost in the middle of nowhere Something is missing Can somebody help me? Something is missing I'm missing a part of me Something is missing (oh) Show me what it is Show me what it is
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles And I ain't even going nowhere I'm lost in the middle of nowhere Something is missing Can somebody help me? Something is missing I'm missing a part of me Something is missing Show me what it is Show me what's missing
-Brandy, "Acapella"

For no particular reason than I liked the sound of it, this song is on an old cd of mine. Today I found myself replaying it over and over, because the words have spoken to me stronger than before. The part that gets me most is " Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles, but I aint even going nowhere". That oxymoronic feeling of constantly going through the same pain, frustrations, routines, but haven't actually moved forward. It's interesting to think of what people think when they see me, because it probably doesn't reflect how I really feel at all. The "success" you see isn't the fulfilled potential I have been craving. To be continued...
