Lyrics

Staring at a screen

Feeling absorbed by technology or a digital world.

Living caffeine dreams

Living in a state of hyperactivity or ambition, possibly fueled by caffeine, in pursuit of dreams.

Give me my two weeks

Requesting a brief period of time, possibly to process or adjust to a situation.

I don't meet your expectations

Not fulfilling someone else's standards or anticipations.

Marching faster feet to the city's beat

Moving quickly in rhythm with the city's pace.

But everyone I meet is looking for some inspiration

Encountering people searching for motivation or creativity.


I don't need a rhyme or reason

Not requiring a logical explanation or justification.

So lemme run this down, pain is now my motivation

Pain serves as the driving force or inspiration.

Could this be the turn of season?

Could this be a changing period?

So let me run this down, I'd like to see them try

Confidence in facing challenges or opposition.


You hold me back (Only keeping me down)

Repetition emphasizing being held back and not wanting restrictions, possibly due to losing one's status or position.

The corner's no place for me, baby

Don't hold me back (Over losing this fight)

Brawling through the streets

Moving forcefully through life's challenges, symbolized by a chaotic urban environment.

A city symphony

Comparing the city's sounds to a symphony, possibly suggesting finding beauty in the chaos.

Plays in font of me

Encountering personal standards or goals.

Meeting my own expectations
