Borrowed Time
Navigating Life's Monotony: Struggles, Pain, and the Pursuit of Freedom
Lyrics
I'm doing the same thing every day
Expressing monotony and repetition in daily activities.
I'm stuck in my ways
Feeling trapped in established habits or routines.
I'm just trying to get paid
Desire to earn money as a primary motivation.
It's never changing just more of the same
Sense of stagnation and lack of change in life.
Am I losing my mind or relieving the pain
Questioning mental stability due to repetitive experiences.
Every time I'm where I want to be
When achieving goals, feeling pulled back by negative influences.
The devil's pulling on me constantly
External negative forces constantly affecting decisions or actions.
You can try to live
Existence doesn't require effort, but dying does.
But you don't have to try to die
Contrasting ease of crying versus forcing oneself to smile.
You can try to smile
Physical or emotional suffering internally.
But never have to try to cry
Encouraging a retreat to escape or recover from pain.
Pain that you feel
Feeling bothered or irritated by someone's actions.
Burning inside your mind
Various influences causing irritation or frustration.
Take a step back
Suggesting a reunion or encounter after a setback or break.
I'll see you on the other side
Feeling deeply affected or bothered by someone or something.
You're getting under my skin
Diverse impacts causing discomfort or irritation.
In different ways
When stumbling, confronted immediately by challenges.
And when I trip up
Life remains unchanging and uninteresting.
You're right in my face
Feeling stationary or not making progress.
It's never changing
Similar to line 8, life doesn't require effort to live.
It's all so mundane
Contrasting the ease of crying versus forcing oneself to smile.
I feel stuck on a wheel
Enduring internal suffering or discomfort.
I'm just running in place
Encouraging a retreat to escape or recover from pain.
You can try to live
Feeling bothered or irritated by someone's actions.
But you don't have to try to die
Various influences causing irritation or frustration.
You can try to smile
Suggesting a reunion or encounter after a setback or break.
But never have to try to cry
Feeling deeply affected or bothered by someone or something.
Pain that you feel
Diverse impacts causing discomfort or irritation.
Burning inside your mind
When stumbling, confronted immediately by challenges.
Take a step back
Life remains unchanging and uninteresting.
I'll see you on the other side
Feeling stationary or not making progress.
On the other side
Similar to line 8, life doesn't require effort to live.
On the other side
Contrasting the ease of crying versus forcing oneself to smile.
Pay attention to this cautionary tale
Enduring internal suffering or discomfort.
If you fail to plan you better plan to fail
Encouraging a retreat to escape or recover from pain.
I keep pushing but I never know just where I've been
Feeling bothered or irritated by someone's actions.
Moving forward
Various influences causing irritation or frustration.
Or ever closer to the edge
Suggesting a reunion or encounter after a setback or break.
Closer to the edge
Feeling deeply affected or bothered by someone or something.
Falling down that drain again
Diverse impacts causing discomfort or irritation.
Closer to the edge
When stumbling, confronted immediately by challenges.
