My Old Fifth Grade Yearbook
Nostalgic Reflections and Shrek Vibes: My Old Fifth Grade Yearbook
Lyrics
Shrek yeah I just remembered I have Red Bull
Expressing realization about having Red Bull.
Shrek yeah I think I'll open that shit up
Deciding to open and consume the Red Bull.
Shrek yeah I think I'll watch Fast Times at Ridgemont
Planning to watch the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont."
I haven't seen it but I've heard only good things
Acknowledging positive reviews about the movie.
Shrek yeah I still have my old fifth grade yearbook
Noting the possession of a fifth-grade yearbook.
Shrek yeah I had some interesting friends
Reflecting on interesting friends from fifth grade.
Shrek yeah there are a few that I still talk to
Mentioning still maintaining contact with a few friends.
But most of us have gone our separate ways
Noting the divergence of paths with most childhood friends.
We all have our own lives, it's alright
Accepting that everyone has their own lives.
And I've made some great friends in all that time
Expressing the formation of new meaningful friendships.
Sometimes I wonder if nostalgia isn't real
Questioning the authenticity of nostalgia.
If it's all a load of shit designed to make us feel alone
Speculating whether nostalgia is a construct to induce loneliness.
But I don't think so
Disagreeing with the idea that nostalgia is not genuine.
We're making progress
Asserting progress in life.
And we're keeping it real
Emphasizing authenticity in actions and feelings.
Shoutout to everyone who makes us feel less alone
Giving a shoutout to those who alleviate loneliness.
Shrek yeah I wish that I could meet Dewey Finn
Expressing a desire to meet a fictional character, Dewey Finn.
Shrek yeah why can't I live inside that film
Wishing to live inside a specific film (context: "School of Rock").
Shrek yeah I could rock out with Zack and Lawrence
Imagining interacting with characters Zack and Lawrence from the film.
And tell No Vacancy they've got bad taste
Expressing a critical opinion about the band "No Vacancy" in the film.
Shrek yeah I don't think most people are evil
Believing that most people are not inherently evil.
Shrek yeah for the most part they're pretty good
Asserting the general goodness of people.
Shrek yeah I try to stay positive these days
Trying to maintain a positive outlook in life.
But sometimes that just seems like a lost cause
Acknowledging the difficulty in staying positive.
If I can find something to make me smile
Expressing the importance of finding joy.
Then I think I've done well for myself
Considering personal success in finding happiness.
Sometimes it's easy to get down about yourself
Recognizing the ease of feeling down about oneself.
To become your own worst critic and forget to laugh it off
Acknowledging the tendency to be self-critical and forgetting to laugh.
We all need a break
Highlighting the need for breaks and relaxation.
We're making progress
Reiterating the theme of personal progress.
And we're keeping it real
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity.
Shoutout to everyone who makes us feel less alone
Acknowledging and appreciating those who alleviate loneliness.
Shrek yeah I just don't care about being cool
Expressing indifference towards the pursuit of being "cool."
Shrek yeah there are much more important things
Stating that there are more important priorities than being cool.
Shrek yeah why can't we all just stop pretending
Questioning the need for pretense and superficial importance.
Like anything deserves more than a shrug
Expressing a belief that nothing deserves excessive attention or concern.
Shrek yeah tonight I'm gonna take it easy
Anticipating a relaxed and easygoing evening.
It's something I've forgotten how to do
Acknowledging a forgotten ability to take it easy.
There's nothing wrong with being unproductive
Advocating for the acceptance of unproductivity at times.
Maybe I'll finally notice the view
Expressing the possibility of noticing the beauty in the present.
