Navigating Life's Superficial Dream: A Benny Bellson Tale
Lyrics
I call my mom I'm comin' home
I'm reaching out to my mother, indicating a desire to return home.
These cigarettes can't calm me down
Cigarettes are not providing the expected calming effect.
Wish I could tell her no and just leave me alone
Desire to be left alone, conflicting with the need for support.
Soaked up to my neck in these feelings
Overwhelmed by deep emotions or experiences.
I don't know where to go it's so superficial
Feeling lost in a superficial world with no clear direction.
Just can't relate anymore I'm livin' in a dream store
Unable to relate to the world, living in a dream-like state.
Shopping all day but can't find a way
Engaging in materialistic pursuits without finding fulfillment.
A way to get away yeah
Searching for a way to escape from the current situation.
All the lost screams of people tryna be
Hearing the struggles of others trying to live an idealized life.
Livin' like a dreamer
Aspiring to live like a dreamer, chasing a dream-like existence.
Kisses in la as the fame fades
Reflecting on fading fame and the transient nature of success.
I don't wanna be here
Expressing a strong desire not to be in the current situation.
Sometime you talk too much
Addressing someone who talks excessively.
Maybe just shut up for once in awhile and
Suggesting the need for occasional silence and reflection.
Look at these places you've gotten here with these faces
Acknowledging the journey and experiences with various people.
Everyone contemplating the same
Everyone is contemplating similar issues or challenges.
It's like time in a bottle I can't replay
Comparing time to a limited resource that cannot be replayed.
I wish I go back just to see it again
Expressing a desire to go back in time for a second look.
Just to see it again
Reiterating the wish to revisit past experiences.
For one more time
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity or experience.
I don't know where to go it's so superficial
Repeating the feeling of being lost in a superficial world.
Just can't relate anymore I'm livin' in a dream store
Reiterating the difficulty in relating to the current reality.
Goin day by day without emotion
Living day by day without experiencing emotions deeply.
Damn just gimme some answers
Expressing frustration and a plea for answers.
Please help me out before you're lost in that dream show alone
Asking for assistance before being lost in a dream-like state alone.
Slap me in the face just to get up from this nightmare
Desiring a wake-up call to escape a nightmarish situation.
A punch to the gut let's end this night fair
Expressing a desire to end the current situation fairly.
The registers open and the man with the late shift
Referencing the end of a work shift and possibly the end of a phase.
Aisle ten ready to check out for the end of the ride
Symbolic checkout for the end of a life phase or journey.
