Discover the story of the song > I M Not A Cynic – Alec Benjamin

The protagonist is being realistic and honest with himself. He has tried to be positive, but it hasn't made a difference. He has to accept that this is his reality. He is not being pessimistic, just realistic. Today is not a good day for him and he has tried to see things from different perspectives, but it doesn't change the outlook. His glass feels empty today, but he wants to make it clear that he is not a cynic, he just doesn't have any hope or optimism right now. He compares himself to a boat on the ocean, going along with the waves. He is tired of pretending to be okay and faking his emotions. He just wants to accept things as they are and ride out the storm.
