Holiday
Escape the Grind: Embracing Freedom in 'Holiday'
Lyrics
My drug is a paycheck for my time
Work is like a drug providing income for time spent
And now the colors are fading from my eyes
Feeling a loss of vibrancy or enthusiasm in life
Just one more mistake - I'll lose my mind
Fearful of making another error that could lead to mental distress
I really need a vacation cause the feeling's dry
Strong desire for a break due to emotional depletion
I'm under my payments
Struggling to meet financial obligations
I'm under the nose
Feeling overwhelmed or under pressure
And I wonder who pays them
Curious about who is responsible for paying debts
And I wonder who knows
Questioning who is aware of the struggles being faced
Let's go on holiday
Suggesting taking a break or vacation
You're sick of what you do
Feeling fed up with one's current occupation
Let's go on holiday
Advocating for a holiday due to feeling mistreated
You're sick of getting screwed
Feeling taken advantage of and seeking relief
Let's go on holiday
Implying a need for a break due to financial stress
Your bills are overdue
Highlighting overdue bills and the necessity of a break
Let's go on holiday
Reiterating the desire for a vacation
You're sick of what you do
Repetition emphasizing dissatisfaction with current work
Oh, you're sick of what you do
Expressing frustration with the current job
Oh, you're sick of what you do
Reinforcing the dissatisfaction and feeling trapped in the job
Oh, you're sick of what you do
Continued frustration with the job's circumstances
Oh, hey boss. I gotta take a day off
Requesting time off from work
Everything is chaos
Everything feels chaotic or disorganized
Maybe we could get a little drunk one day?
Suggesting drinking as a means of coping or escapism
Haven't been enough to pay off
Not earning enough to cover expenses
Everybody laid off
Observation about widespread job layoffs
Sure as hell not looking like a fox
Feeling unattractive or undesirable
Can't help but to whisper to myself
Talking to oneself about the facade people put up
Everybody's someone else
Noticing how people project false personas
They can't seem to do it for themselves
Others relying on external factors or individuals
Can't tell if you're bitter but it sells
Uncertain if bitterness is genuine or just for profit
They put you through this hell
Recognizing others enduring difficulties
Don't know that they need help so I tell em' you should go
Advising others to take a break like suggesting a holiday
On holiday
Reiteration of the suggestion to go on a holiday
Let's go on holiday
Continued emphasis on the need for a break
You're sick of what you do
Reiterating dissatisfaction with current occupation
Let's go on holiday
Expressing frustration with being taken advantage of
You're sick of getting screwed
Repeating the feeling of being mistreated
Let's go on holiday
Stress over overdue financial obligations
Your bills are overdue
Continued emphasis on needing a break due to financial stress
Let's go on holiday
Reiteration of the desire to escape current work situation
You're sick of what you do
Continued expression of dissatisfaction with current job
Oh, you're sick of what you do
Final repetition of dissatisfaction with current occupation
