Ahmed Abu Amsha – Lyrics, recording, & Vocals
Everyone is moving… but who actually knows where?
Here in Gaza, life feels heavy.
We don’t know what’s coming next, where we’re going, or how long we’ll stay stuck somewhere in between.
Where Am 1? | أنا وين؟
This song is about the life we’re living – waiting, uncertainty, and trying to understand where we are inside all of this.
Lyric translation:
Where am I?
Am I here?
Or somewhere in between?
I suddenly laugh without even knowing why,
and ask myself: am I awake, or am I dreaming?
I go through my day just like yesterday,
but I don’t even feel where I am anymore.
There’s a voice inside my head asking:
Should I laugh again, or should I cry?
Maybe I’m not hearing things right,
and the whole world is playing games with me.
A picture flashes through my mind,
then disappears before I can make it out.
Maybe it’s something from a long time ago…
Easy, my heart, take it easy on me.
Everything keeps moving while I’m standing still,
everything looks clear, but I still can’t see.
I laugh it off and tell myself, “That’s just how it is,”
then I end up saying, “I really don’t know.”
Maybe it’s near, maybe it’s far,
maybe it’s simple, maybe it grows.
I pull myself together, moment by moment,
then somehow I get lost all over again.
Where am I?
Where am I?
Am I here?
Or somewhere in between?
Who am I?
Why am I like this?
