American Dream
Chasing Dreams: Andrea Turk's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Part-time, working hard 'til late at night
Working part-time diligently until late at night.
Paying the loans
Managing and repaying loans.
Hard times, yet the party never dies
Facing challenging times, but the party spirit persists.
Someone stole my phone
Experiencing the theft of a phone.
Sleeping nine to five, yeah
Having a nine-to-five sleep schedule.
Feeling less than I've ever been
Feeling a sense of inadequacy or low self-esteem.
Double up the meds, yeah
Increasing medication dosage.
This is my American Dream
Expressing the singer's vision of the American Dream.
My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-This is my American Dream
-Same songs, different cities every night
Performing the same songs in different cities without a permanent home.
Don't got no home
Lacking a stable residence.
Same old songs, to make the crowd go wild
Repeating familiar songs to energize the audience.
Working to the bone
Working extremely hard.
Sleeping nine to five, yeah
Following a nine-to-five sleep routine.
Feeling less than I've ever been
Experiencing a deep sense of dissatisfaction or inadequacy.
Double up the meds, yeah
Increasing reliance on medication.
This is my American Dream
Reiterating the singer's perspective on the American Dream.
My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-Always the underdog, out of the game
Identifying as the underdog, excluded from the game.
Holding on, yeah i'm holding
Holding on tenaciously despite challenges.
On for my life, I cannot complain
Expressing contentment and resilience in the face of difficulties.
'Cause I'm living my American Dream
Affirming the realization of the American Dream despite hardships.
My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-My-y, my-y-y yeah
-I'm waiting, waiting for the day
Anticipating a future day with hope.
I'm waiting, waiting to make a change
Waiting for an opportunity to bring about change.
But I'll stay here knowing that I'll be okay
Remaining optimistic and resilient while staying in the current situation.
Yeah, this is the American Dream
Concluding that the described life represents the American Dream.
