Sidelines
Embracing Life's Urgency
Lyrics
I must be okay
The singer acknowledges they need to accept their current state of being okay.
With wasting time
Being fine with spending time in unproductive or non-fulfilling ways.
Cuz I waste it all away
They feel they waste their time consistently, losing it without purpose.
Everyday
Every single day is spent in this way.
I must be okay
Accepting the process of slowly losing oneself or fading away.
With fading away
Being comfortable with the gradual disappearance of oneself.
And never becoming the person
Never achieving the envisioned personal growth or development.
I wanted to be
They haven't become the individual they aspired to be.
I'm not amounting to much
Feeling like they haven't achieved much or met their potential.
At this pace
At the current speed or rate of progress, they aren't achieving significant things.
Sitting on the sidelines
Metaphorically being on the sidelines of life, not actively participating.
Watching all of the happy faces
Observing others who seem happy or content while not participating themselves.
When will I find my way
Questioning when they will find their direction or purpose in life.
Tomorrow I said today
Delaying actions and plans, always pushing things off to the next day.
Yesterday I said tomorrow
Continuously postponing tasks or goals, leading to inaction.
But tomorrow never comes
A realization that the future they hope for never arrives because of procrastination.
So
Repetition emphasizing the importance of seizing the present moment.
So
-So
-Seize the day
An imperative statement urging to make the most of the current time.
I must be okay with disintegrating
Being fine with falling apart or losing oneself.
I must be okay with humiliating
Accepting humiliation or feeling inferior.
Myself by
Suggesting embarrassment or failure in meeting personal expectations.
Never living up to what I'm worth
Feeling undervalued or not living up to their potential.
I must be okay with not becoming
Being okay with not achieving or becoming something significant in life.
Anything since birth
From birth till now, feeling insignificant or not progressing.
Dying along with the earth
A sense of helplessness, feeling tied to the fate of the world.
That no one saves
No one is coming to rescue or save them.
All just for shitty pay
Working hard for minimal or inadequate rewards.
No it ain't working this way
Realizing that the current situation or approach isn't effective.
It ain't okay
Expressing that the current state is not acceptable or tolerable.
The sidelines were not made for me
Reinforcement that being inactive or on the sidelines doesn’t suit them.
So put me in
-Or take me out
-The sidelines were not made for me
-So put me in
Repetition emphasizing the discomfort of being on the sidelines and the need for action.
Or take me out
-The sidelines were not made for me
-The sidelines were not made
-The sidelines were not made for me
-Watching all of the happy faces
-Put me in
-Or take me out
-Put me in
-Or take me out
-The sidelines were not made for me
-So put me in
-Or take me out
-The sidelines were not made for me
-So put me in
-Or take me out
-The sidelines were not made for me
Reiteration of not fitting into the sidelines' role.
The sidelines were not made
-Bye bye now
A departing phrase suggesting leaving the current state behind.
Bye bye now
-Hello crown
Transitioning from saying goodbye to embracing a new role or situation.
Hello crowd
-Bye bye now
-Hello crown
-Seize the day
Urging to seize the current opportunity or moment.
