Man With a Plan
Navigating Life's Unpredictable Rhythms in the Heart of the City
Lyrics
I was a man with a plan and I landed in New York City
I had a plan and arrived in New York City.
I found a world that that unfurled an taught me the meaning of haste
I discovered a world that quickly unfolded and taught me the importance of speed.
I found a well healed girl and I thought that she looked pretty
I found a wealthy girl who seemed attractive to me.
I opened my heart to her and she read it on my face
I opened up emotionally to her, and she could discern my feelings from my expression.
You mine as well as well accept the rest and not expect to prosper
It's advisable to accept the entirety of a situation without expecting success, especially when avoiding difficulties.
When your hiding from the sun
Concealing oneself, perhaps from problems or challenges.
Living fast the cold contrast fuels my fascination
Living rapidly in a contrasting environment fuels my fascination.
Like a breath before the plunge
Similar to the anticipation before a significant event, living on the edge.
I took car to bar and ordered myself whisky
Took a car to a bar and ordered whisky, my preferred drink that adds charm.
You know it's my drink of choice and it fills me full of charm
Whisky is the speaker's choice of beverage, bringing charm.
I know I've had too much when my head gets soft and dizzy
Experiencing the effects of alcohol, reaching a point of softness and dizziness.
But if you ask my wife she'd say it does more good than harm
Despite potential negative effects, the speaker's wife believes it does more good than harm.
I came out of the park that day and I wavered in the place I stood
Exiting a park, feeling uncertain in the place where I stood.
Living deep in golden city in a way I never thought I could
Living deeply in a prosperous city in a way I never imagined.
I came out of the park that day and saw it with my waking eyes
Exiting a park, witnessing reality with awakened eyes.
My breath grew short and my heart rate quickened in response to my own surprise
Experiencing a quickened heart rate and shortness of breath in response to a surprising revelation.
There was a fuss on the bus cause someone had got busted
An incident on a bus causes a disturbance because someone got caught.
I got splashed as it passed and it clattered down the road
The speaker gets splashed by the bus, which moves noisily down the road.
I seen worse and I cursed and I swore there was no justice
Having witnessed injustice before, the speaker curses and swears, expressing frustration.
And that I'd leave this town before my heart grew old
Expressing a determination to leave the town before becoming emotionally worn out.
