Dandy

A dandy, historically, is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of self. A dandy could be a self-made man who strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. Previous manifestations of the petit-maître (French for "small master") and the Muscadin have been noted by John C. Prevost, but the modern practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and in Paris. The dandy cultivated cynical reserve, yet to such extremes that novelist George Meredith, himself no dandy, once defined cynicism as "intellectual dandyism".… more »

I've been standing here for so long
I forgot what I came for
It seems higher than it looked from below
But you said I'd be fine
But I'm not alright
I'm scared of these heights
What if I fall
I'm not ready to fly
And what if you're wrong
But maybe you're right
How can I be who you say I am
Though you said you'd be waiting right here
You seem so far away now
I've seen others go with ease
But I can't take one step
I want to find out what I can be
This doubt has made a fool of me
You say I am more
I want to believe that's true
I want to be strong but I cannot breathe
This all is way too much for me
How can I be who you say I am
You've got this you've got this now
Take my hands and don't look down
Can't you see you were made to fly
Look what's all been here for you
You've got this you've got this now
It's OK to be afraid
You are more than you even know
I have so much in store for you
Yeah you've got this you've got this now
Take my hands and don't look down
Can't you see you were made to fly
Look what's all been here for you
See you've got this you've got this now
It's OK to be afraid
You are more than you even know
I have so much in store for you
