Work in Progress
Unveiling Life's Canvas: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through the Lyrics of 'Work in Progress'
Lyrics
I took my meds but they haven't kicked in yet
Taking prescribed medication, but its effects haven't taken hold yet.
I made my bed but I haven't left it
Physically made the bed but emotionally or mentally stuck in it, possibly feeling unmotivated.
I gotta hangover the size of a fighter jet
Experiencing a severe hangover, using hyperbole by comparing it to the size of a fighter jet.
And I'll drink again to forget it
Intending to drink again as a coping mechanism to forget or numb the hangover or other difficulties.
I am forever a work in progress
Expressing a self-awareness of being a constant work in progress, acknowledging personal growth and development.
Not always getting better but I do my best
Acknowledging the ongoing effort to improve, even if the progress is not always evident.
Because you never know when something might come 'round
Emphasizing the unpredictability of life and how unexpected challenges can test one's entire existence.
And put your whole damn life to the test
Highlighting the potential for life events to challenge and assess the entirety of one's life.
Slow down and take it easy
Encouraging a slowdown and the adoption of a more relaxed approach to life.
You don't know what you're doing
Suggesting a lack of clarity or purpose, advising caution in actions.
Just settle down now
Encouraging calmness and the search for stability.
And find your stable ground
Advocating the establishment of a stable and secure foundation.
To be blunt I never thought I'd get this far
Bluntly expressing surprise at reaching a point in life that was not anticipated.
Because I never really set a bar
Acknowledging a lack of initially set goals or standards.
But now I'm giving it my all and I won't stop until I have no gas in the car
Demonstrating a commitment to giving maximum effort until complete exhaustion.
I am forever a work in progress
Reiterating the self-awareness of being a perpetual work in progress.
But what that even means is anyone's guess
Questioning the true meaning of being a work in progress, leaving it open to interpretation.
Because eventually you're gonna trip up
Anticipating inevitable mistakes or setbacks in the journey of personal development.
And you might make a mess of it
Acceptance of the possibility of making a mess and learning from it.
Slow down and take it easy
Repeating the advice to slow down and approach life with ease.
You don't know what you're doing
Reiterating the uncertainty and advising a more composed approach to actions.
Just settle down now
Encouraging the search for stability and a grounded state of being.
And find your stable ground
Emphasizing the importance of finding a stable and secure foundation in life.
I am forever a work in progress
Restating the perpetual nature of being a work in progress.
Not always getting better but I do my best
Acknowledging the ongoing effort to improve, even if the progress is not always evident.
Because you never know when something might come round
Reiterating the unpredictability of life and the potential challenges it may bring.
And put you to the test
Highlighting the unpredictability of life events that can test and challenge an individual.
I am forever a work in progress
Repeating the self-awareness of being a perpetual work in progress.
I am forever a work in progress
Emphasizing the perpetual and ongoing nature of personal development.
I am forever a work in progress
Reiterating the idea of continuous self-improvement and growth.
I am forever a work in progress
Affirming the enduring commitment to personal development and improvement.
