Boring Story: Navigating Life's Scales and Expectations
Lyrics
Good old days
Reflecting on past times that were enjoyable and memorable.
Good old days
Reiteration of the nostalgia for the good old days.
Learn to lace
Acquiring skills or knowledge, possibly metaphorical for personal development.
Potty train
Transitioning from infancy to independence, symbolized by potty training.
Look both ways
Exercising caution and being vigilant in life's journey.
Enunciate
Speaking clearly and distinctly, suggesting effective communication.
Make the grade
Achieving success in education or personal endeavors.
Lower and uppercase
Addressing both the minor and major aspects of life.
Every letter mattered to tell me my worth
Receiving validation and self-worth through communication.
And now it's spelled out my days are numbered
A realization that one's lifespan is limited or measured.
Always under pressure
Experiencing constant stress and expectations from others.
And worried what it weighs
Concerns about the significance or consequences of personal choices.
But maybe I look better
Suggesting that external judgment may enhance personal appearance.
With your finger on the scale
Alluding to manipulation or distortion of truth, possibly in relationships.
Angry everyone was poking fun
Expressing frustration at being mocked or ridiculed by others.
That I put on a few, but walked it off
Dealing with weight gain by physical activity and resilience.
And thought "if the gut could be a baby bump
Fantasizing about a different scenario where weight gain is pregnancy.
I'd go from eating for one, to oven baked buns"
Humorous reference to transitioning from solo eating to family life.
Yum
An expression of pleasure regarding the imagined situation.
Just in case, read the recipe, it's not a race
Encouragement to take time and follow instructions, emphasizing patience.
But the last one expecting is a rotten egg
Cautionary note about potential negative outcomes or disappointments.
Thought the clock would tick as quick as it could
Misjudging the passage of time and facing the consequences.
But now I think I might of made a mistake
Realization of a possible error or miscalculation in decisions made.
You know you really had me
Acknowledging being deceived or manipulated by someone.
When you said to come over
Recalling an invitation that initially seemed appealing.
But now I wish you never had me
Expressing regret or dissatisfaction with a past choice.
I didn't ask to be bored
Rejecting the idea of being bored and not wanting such a state.
By every answer
Frustration with unfulfilled promises and unsatisfactory explanations.
You promised that I'd want
Disappointment with unmet expectations that were assured.
Some say you're out of touch
Perceived as disconnected or not in tune with reality by others.
But it sure seems like you've got your finger on the pulse
Accusing someone of having a strong influence or control over current affairs.
