Taking It Easy Too Long
Breaking Free from Comfort: Unraveling the Lyrical Journey
Lyrics
I've been takin' it easy too long
I have been living a relaxed and undemanding life for an extended period.
Sticking around this lonesome town
Remaining in this desolate town without making a move.
Like a bird that just won't fly
Comparing oneself to a bird that refuses to fly, possibly symbolizing a lack of progress or freedom.
Oh why can't I just get over you?
Expressing frustration about not being able to move on from someone.
What'll I do?
Pondering on what actions to take in the given situation.
I've been takin' it easy too long
Reiterating the theme of leading a too laid-back life for an extended period.
Hanging around in a reckless way
Loitering in a careless manner, not showing a sense of direction.
Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks
Indulging in self-destructive behavior, such as drinking whiskey on train tracks.
All of the plans I've made just pass away
Alluding to failed plans and aspirations that just fade away.
Never again
Expressing regret and determination to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
'Cause there's wasted hours and there's wasted days
Reflecting on wasted time and days.
I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way
Expressing the intention to waste more time deliberately.
'Cause takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while
Highlighting that leading an easy life isn't the right path in the long run.
I've been takin' it easy too long
Repeating the sentiment of being too passive for an extended period.
Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone
Regretting waiting for a woman when action should have been taken earlier.
Like a song that ain't been sung
Comparing life to an unsung song, emphasizing unfulfilled potential.
That's what my life's become
Summarizing life as something unproductive and unfulfilled.
Sittin' in my car
Describing a moment of contemplation while sitting in a car.
Look at the stars
Taking a moment to appreciate the night sky.
Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night
Highlighting the vastness of possibilities represented by stars and the risk of losing direction without purpose.
You get lost if you don't shine too bright
Emphasizing the importance of standing out to avoid getting lost in the crowd.
And I've been takin' it easy most every night
Admitting to the habit of taking it easy most nights, indicating a repetitive pattern.
For far too long
Realizing that the easygoing lifestyle has persisted for too long.
I've been takin' it easy too long
Repeating the acknowledgment of living a too relaxed life for an extended duration.
