Not Interested
Breaking Free: A Journey Beyond Expectations
Lyrics
I'm being held at the end of a tether
I feel restrained or limited, unable to move freely.
At the edge of our yard
Metaphorically, at the border or boundary of what is familiar or known.
Stretching away
Continuing indefinitely, distancing or separating.
The work keeps going on
The tasks or responsibilities persist.
But I've had enough
I have reached a point where I've had enough or can't tolerate it anymore.
Of being held in single blocks
Feeling confined or restricted in one's actions or thoughts.
Singled out
Highlighted or made to stand out, possibly in a challenging or isolating way.
A dueling occupant
Engaged in conflict or competition with someone else.
Pushed to vow
Forced or pressured to promise or commit to something.
They say I'm not old enough
Others claim I lack experience or maturity.
But I am getting over these intercoms
I'm recovering or moving on from communications via impersonal means (e.g., intercoms).
She said I don't call them back
Referring to someone telling me I don't return their calls.
And never seem the same afterwards
People notice changes in my behavior or attitude after not returning calls.
To look as good as I did
To maintain a previously high standard of appearance.
I guess they're not interested
Others are not showing interest in me.
Is it a wonder I'm reluctant?
Wondering why I'm hesitant or unwilling.
Is it some mere intrigue that brings them forward?
Questioning if curiosity or a fleeting interest motivates their actions.
It's not as if they have to stay
They have the freedom to leave at any time; I don't rely on them.
They're not doing me any favors
Emphasizing that their departure doesn't affect me positively.
I've had enough
Reiterating a feeling of having had enough or reached a limit.
They're not doing me any favors
Repeatedly emphasizing their departure doesn't benefit me.
I've had enough
Reiterating a feeling of having had enough or reached a limit.
She said I don't call them back
Similar to line 12, reiterating not returning calls.
They never seem afterward
Similar to line 13, others not appearing the same after no return calls.
To look as good as they did
Others don't maintain their previous appeal or attractiveness.
They're not as interesting
Others are not as captivating or engaging.
It's suffocating and almost shaming
Feeling constrained or embarrassed by their behavior.
The way they carry on you would think
Others act as if they're preserving traditions, but it's not true.
We were the one's maintaining the old world's fading
Others behave as if they're the ones upholding an outdated world, which affects parents.
Mum and Dad can't seem to get past that
Parents struggle to move past this perception of maintaining tradition.
I'm leaving
Expressing the decision to depart or leave.
I don't want to upset them but
Reluctance to cause upset while still deciding to leave.
I'm leaving
Confirming the decision to leave despite concerns about upsetting others.
