DON'T HAVE THE DOPAMINE
Navigating Life's Rollercoaster: The Dopamine Dilemma
Lyrics
I tend to feel things more intensely than most
I experience emotions more intensely than others.
They say my dimmer switch got lost in the post
People suggest that my ability to moderate emotions is impaired.
But boy there's a party if I am the host
Despite my emotional intensity, I can be the life of the party.
Can't find my inhibitions so let's have a toast
Unable to find my inhibitions, suggesting a willingness to celebrate.
One Day I'll be out with the world at my feet
Hopeful about achieving success and recognition in the future.
The next I'll be hiding under my bedsheets
Alternating between confidence and seeking refuge under the covers.
My potential rears it's head every day on repeat
Potential talents or abilities surface regularly but fade when needed.
And when I need it most it makes it's retreat
When crucial, my potential seems to retreat.
Please mind the gap between the platform and your brain
A playful warning about the gap between logical thinking and emotions.
I'll do my best but I don't have the dopamine
Struggling with a lack of dopamine, affecting motivation and pleasure.
Give me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Desperation for motivation, humorously suggesting getting it from a cash machine.
Need motivation so hand me a magic potion please
Seeking external sources like a "magic potion" for motivation.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Claiming to possess answers but lacking the chemical drive to act on them.
I'm trying hard but I don't have the dopamine
Expressing effort in trying despite the absence of dopamine.
Lend me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Humorous request for someone else's dopamine to leave a legacy.
Better yet give me yours, I'll leave a legacy
Desire to make a lasting impact but hindered by the lack of motivation.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Reiterating possession of answers without the necessary drive to implement them.
Excuse me sir, can I pick your brain
Asking for permission to gather insights from someone's mind.
It'll take ten hours and I won't refrain
Willingness to invest time in gaining knowledge, regardless of the effort.
Cos I'm running on an engine where I can't press stop
Running on an unstoppable mental engine driven by curiosity.
Curiosity has got me and it just won't drop
Curiosity persisting, refusing to fade away.
Let's deny those who are different and consume all their work
Encouraging discrimination against those who are different.
Keep working for the monsters cos they give you good perks
Working for entities that offer benefits despite moral concerns.
Criticise and fetishise any little quirks
Criticizing and romanticizing peculiarities or idiosyncrasies.
Till we've all retrained in cyber and the worlds gone berserk
Predicting a chaotic future after widespread adaptation to technology.
Please mind the gap between the platform and your brain
Repeating the warning about the gap between rationality and emotions.
I'll do my best but I don't have the dopamine
Continued struggle with a lack of dopamine affecting performance.
Give me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Humorous plea for external motivation, again suggesting a cash machine.
Need motivation so hand me a magic potion please
Expressing a need for external motivation or inspiration.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Claiming possession of solutions but hindered by a lack of dopamine.
I'm trying hard but I don't have the dopamine
Putting effort into tasks despite the ongoing struggle with dopamine.
Lend me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Repeating the humorous request for someone else's dopamine for a legacy.
Better yet give me yours, I'll leave a legacy
Reiterating the desire to leave a lasting impact with limited motivation.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Claiming to possess answers without the necessary drive to implement them.
I'll do my best but I don't have the dopamine
Continuing efforts despite the persistent lack of dopamine.
Give me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Repeating the humorous plea for external motivation from a cash machine.
Need motivation so hand me a magic potion please
Expressing a need for external motivation or a magical solution.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Claiming possession of solutions but hindered by a lack of dopamine.
I'm trying hard but I don't have the dopamine
Continuing efforts despite the persistent lack of dopamine.
Lend me your card and I'll get some from the cash machine
Repeating the humorous request for someone else's dopamine for a legacy.
Better yet give me yours, I'll leave a legacy
Reiterating the desire to leave a lasting impact with limited motivation.
I've got the answers but I don't have the dopamine
Claiming to possess answers without the necessary drive to implement them.
