Lyrics
Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Expressing dissatisfaction with the effort or sacrifices made so far
Future's coming much too slow
Impatience with the slow arrival of the future
And you want to run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Desire to escape or change, but feeling stuck and unable to
Can't decide on which way to go
Struggling with decision-making, unsure of the right path
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or musical effect
I understand about indecision
Acknowledging difficulty in making decisions
But I don't care if I get behind
Unconcerned about falling behind others
People livin' in competition
Observing a competitive societal mindset
All I want is to have my peace of mind, yeah, whoa
Expressing a desire for personal peace amidst competition
Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Climbing the corporate ladder with uncertainty about the time it takes
Hope it doesn't take too long
Hopeful for success but with a concern for time
Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter?
Awareness that success may become insignificant in the future
Come a day when you'll be gone, whoa
Anticipating a day when personal success won't matter
I understand about indecision
Reiteration of difficulty in decision-making
But I don't care if I get behind
Indifference to falling behind others
People livin' in competition
Noticing a society driven by competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Reiterating the desire for personal peace in the midst of competition
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Encouraging to look forward and ahead
Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Commenting on the abundance of unsolicited advice
Doesn't mean too much to me
Disregard for advice that lacks personal relevance
Lots of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Observing people pretending to live a certain way
Can't decide who they should be, whoa
Difficulty in determining one's true identity
I understand about indecision
Reiteration of understanding the challenge of indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
Remaining unconcerned about falling behind
People livin' in competition
Commenting on societal competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Reaffirming the desire for personal peace
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, look ahead
Encouraging to look forward and ahead (repeated)
