What I Have
Embracing Contentment: Unveiling Life's Essence in 'What I Have'
Lyrics
Time
Reference to the concept of time.
It waits for me
The inevitability of time affecting the individual.
It's relative
The perception and experience of time vary among individuals.
A minute passes and months are wasted
Emphasis on how quickly time passes and how it can be wasted.
Lies
Falsehoods or deceitful statements.
They wait for me
Deceit or untruths have an impact on the individual.
Open every day now
Availability or accessibility consistently.
Turn on the TV and open wide again
Engaging with media and being open to its messages.
The more I learn the less I want to be here
The more one learns or understands, the less appealing existence feels.
Went on my own to find I had it all
Personal journey to realization that everything one needed was already present.
I've gone and screwed it up completely
Having made significant mistakes or errors.
Forgot to be happy with what I have
Repeated emphasis on neglecting appreciation for one's current situation.
Forgot to be happy with what I have
-Forgot to be happy with what I have
-What I have
Repetition underscoring the importance or emphasis on the present situation or possessions.
What I have
-What I have
-What I have
-News it tells of death
News highlighting death or mortality.
So gleefully
Death or negative news is conveyed with enthusiasm or excitement.
The daily dead is read out with a smile
Death announcements are made cheerfully.
Free
Questioning the possibility of being truly free.
How can I be?
Despite being connected, there's a sense of entrapment or dependency.
I'm connected
Questioning the consequences of disengaging or disconnecting.
Tell me if I switch off will I switch on?
The more one understands, the more life feels burdensome.
The more I learn the less I want to be here
Repetition emphasizing the need to appreciate the present and be content.
Went on my own to find I had it all
-I've gone and screwed it up completely
-Forgot to be happy with what I have
-Forgot to be happy with what I have
-Forgot to be happy with what I have
-What I have
-What I have
-What I have
-What I have
-Full of self righteous indignation but I've got a point
Feeling of being morally superior or having a justifiable reason to be upset.
The poignant reminder that our way of life is on the brink
Recognition that the current way of life is precarious or vulnerable.
Infinite growth but less cash to go around?
Expectation of constant growth, but limited resources.
Like fuck will it trickle down
Doubtful belief in the benefits of a top-down economic system.
Fuck the one
Repetitive expression of frustration or anger towards a singular entity or situation.
Fuck the one
-The more I learn the less I want to be here
Reiteration of the struggle to recognize and appreciate the current blessings or situation.
Went on my own to find I had it all
-I've gone and screwed it up completely
-Forgot to be happy with what I have
