Evan

Evan is a Welsh masculine given name derived from "Iefan", a Welsh form for the name John. In other languages it could be compared to "Ivan", "Ian", and "Juan"; the name John itself is derived from the ancient Hebrew name יְהֹוחָנָן‎ Yəhôḥānān, which means "Yahweh is gracious". Evan is also the shortened version of the Greek names "Evangelos" (meaning "good messenger") and "Evander" (meaning "good man"). The name is also occasionally given to women, as with actress Evan Rachel Wood. It may be encountered as a surname, of which Evans is the most common iteration. Other languages also assign meaning to Evan as a word or name. It is related to the Gaelic word "Eóghan" meaning "youth" or "young warrior", and means "right-handed" in Scots.

I've found as I get older, I can look into things moreover
What the average 6 or 7-year-old mind could discover
I came to understand hubris at a younger age
And thanks to Jimmy Neutron, also bacteriophage
By age 9 and 10, they told me not to play pretend
So I just did all that they asked and learned to comprehend
Now I've gotten to a point where I see things deep
But no one told me how this ledge was deftly steep
In Austin and with Autism
My worry was wisdom
It's all a part of growing up, they said, "We all get 'em."
But I don't understand, if they want me to be a man
I wonder why must I obscure these parts of who I really am?

I know all of Abe's kids equal about what God gave me in wit
I know, but what am I supposed to do with all of it?

I'd say I need help, but I don't how to yelp
I can't shake this thing I feel within myself
There used to be not a thing I couldn't do
Please somebody help, I'm worried that I, that I, that I, I can't do

I've found that when I dance, I'm not shifting with my own stance
My head and spirit's gone cold, gimme Zicam
I get so frustrated, I feel to die or cry, and
My mind, it seems against me, I wonder why, man?
When I was younger, I could keep it up with MJ
Back then, before I thought to think about or worry
I'm less flexible, my moves are so robotic
But worry doesn't break me, I ain't turning to narcotics
But what to do about all this anxiety?
Like chains wrapped around my torso; why I can't speak
These butterflies, they keep mi stomach inside, I think
I think too much and subsequently, oh, and, uh... I think I mean 'and thus,' I'm afraid to go out and do anything
Mmmh! Outta pocket cuz I'm anxious
I wanna be known, not famous

I know that God gave me as many gifts as he gave Jimi riffs
I know, but what am I supposed to do with all them?

I'd say I need help, but I don't how to yelp
I can't shake this thing I feel within myself
There used to be not a thing I couldn't do
Please somebody help, I'm worried that I, that I, that I, I can't do

Guess he was right about
I Guess he was right about this
When I assimilate with the Earth
These grown thoughts befall my gifts
Ask me to draw a flower bird
I worry, and say that I draw ships
I guess this is growing up; gist
A lifetime of, "God, I can't do this!"

I'd say I need help, but I don't how to yelp
I can't shake this thing I feel within myself
There used to be not a thing I couldn't do
Please somebody help, I'm worried that I, that I, that I, I can't do
