Modern Man
Modern Man's Tragic Tale: Balancing Dreams and Reality
Lyrics
Satisfaction guarantee, if you join the company
Satisfaction is promised if you become part of the company.
Pension plan, quiet life, it's alright.
There's a retirement plan and a peaceful life awaiting.
Working hard is easy when you love your job right?
Working hard feels easy when you genuinely enjoy your job.
Anyway, I've got no choice, dept is just a part of life
Having debt is inevitable, a normal part of life.
Once a year I get away, drink toquilla everyday
Once annually, there's an escape, consuming alcohol regularly.
Don't really care about the place, a beach, a bar, I can't complain
Not concerned about the location while relaxing, content with a beach or bar.
I levelled up my life, mum and dad they did alright
Improved my life, following in the successful footsteps of parents.
But if they had a brain and looks like me, I'd be man of the century
If my parents had my attributes, I'd be immensely successful.
This ain't the way stars aligned
Life isn't aligning as expected or desired.
Doctor prescribes to fix my mind
Seeking medication to mend mental struggles.
I can't believe a tragedy
Feeling disbelief at a tragic situation.
It's not as it seems, I live a dream.
Life isn't what it appears, living in a perceived dream.
The girl ain't satisfied, never signed up for this life
The woman isn't content, didn't choose this life.
Glances at the tele screen to wish away her wildest dreams
Glimpses at the television screen to escape her unfulfilled aspirations.
Honey please, won't you leave?
Plea to the partner to depart from the relationship.
The house is paid for, leave the keys
Offering the house keys, implying separation.
Nothing mends a broken heart, but a baby means we'd never part
Belief that having a child would strengthen the bond.
Anyway that's not the case, she loves me, we'll be okay
Despite doubts, reassurance that love will prevail.
She's often out, I never doubt, she knows I'm the best around
Confident in partner's acknowledgment of being the best.
Five bed house, facing south, privet school, swimming pool
Describing a luxurious lifestyle with a large house, school, and pool.
Modern man, model wife, quiet village, simple life
Being a modern man with an ideal wife, living in a tranquil place.
This ain't the way stars aligned
Similar to line 10, life's alignment isn't as desired.
The doctor prescribes to fix my mind
Repetition of seeking medication for mental issues.
I can't believe a tragedy
Reiteration of disbelief in a tragic circumstance.
It's not as it seems, I live a dream.
Emphasizing that life isn't as it appears, living in a perceived dream.
This is the way your stars aligned
Indicating the actual alignment of someone else's life, living in deceit.
Living a lie, you lost your mind
Suggesting that living falsely has led to mental instability.
You hate your life, you hate your wife
Expressing dislike for life and partner.
This ain't your dream it's a tragedy
Highlighting the tragic reality instead of the dreamed life.
This is the way your stars aligned
Repeating the situation of someone living a lie and facing mental turmoil.
Living a lie, you lost your mind
Continuing to describe the consequences of a false life.
You hate your life, you hate your wife
Expressing hatred towards life and partner.
This ain't a dream you're just a walking tragedy
Clarifying that it's not a dream but a tragic existence.
