Off the Record
Downpour of Redemption: Unraveling Life's Maze in Off the Record
Lyrics
Rain fall, clear the town
Rainfall, clearing the town.
Your hair is wet, mine wears me down
Your hair is wet, burdening me.
Say, not when but how?
Questioning the method, not the timing.
Did I get so fenced in, spent to the pound?
Feeling confined, spent and restrained.
I know not where you have come from
Uncertain about your origin.
But boy I know just where you've been
Aware of your past experiences.
Swear it slipped right through your fingers
Noticing missed opportunities slipping away.
As sweat goes dripping from your chin
Comparing the passing of time to sweat dripping.
Oh, what a hell of a downpour
Reflecting on a significant and intense rainfall.
Did it get to you quick?
Questioning the impact of the downpour on you.
I ran as far as my head would
Running away mentally as far as possible.
Further still
Desiring further distance.
I'd like to speak blind off the record
Expressing a desire for off-the-record conversation.
High for the second
Feeling elevated for a moment.
I could get a day job, say I get the message
Considering a conventional job but understanding the message.
They just want to cut lines, keep it independent
Advocating for independence and resisting conformity.
I just drop bombs, save some face on my tenner
Choosing to make a bold statement, preserving pride.
Never mind, they say never mind
Disregarding advice, asserting indifference.
Left cut cold on the borderline
Feeling abandoned and isolated on the edge.
And every time, they say never mind
Repeatedly dismissing concerns with "never mind."
Just another week out in paradise
Reflecting on a challenging week in paradise.
Think you front enough you're making pennies mate
Questioning the value of efforts, earning little.
They could run it blind and you won't feel a thing
Suggesting that actions may go unnoticed.
Seven days I'm on and I don't catch a break
Enduring a relentless seven-day cycle without respite.
Seven ways to back it into retrograde
Facing difficulties from multiple directions.
It shed's no light, on much now anyway
Realizing that shedding light doesn't change much.
I don't think twice, I don't have the time or the energy
Rejecting overthinking due to lack of time and energy.
But it's fine, I think I'll cut now anyway
Accepting a decision to cut ties despite challenges.
I don't mind, It's all a but much anyway
Expressing indifference towards overwhelming circumstances.
Said it's fine, I think I'll cut now anyway
Reiterating a decision to cut ties amid challenges.
I don't mind, It's all a but much anyway
Maintaining indifference towards overwhelming situations.
