Brunches
Embracing Creativity: Brunches, Beers, and Breaking Conventions
Lyrics
I won't forget
Expressing a commitment to remember something.
Tall cans of cheap beer
Referring to consuming inexpensive canned beer.
And cigarettes
Mentioning the act of smoking cigarettes.
Shooting the breeze here
Engaging in casual conversation or small talk.
Before a set
Before a musical performance or gig.
Passing out flyers
Distributing promotional materials for an event.
Did you get one yet
Asking if someone received the promotional flyer.
Will I see you there
Asking if the person will attend the event.
I guess I like
Expressing a sense of connection or similarity.
To think we are the same
Belief in shared qualities between "you and I."
You and I
Emphasizing a unified experience of life.
That we don't get the rest of life
Not having access to the entirety of life's experiences.
That's why we're here so many nights
Spending numerous nights in the same place.
And that's all right
Acceptance and approval of the situation.
That's all right
Reiterating acceptance and approval.
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
Rejecting superficial or insincere social activities like brunches.
For the boring and well-adjusted
Contrasting oneself with conventional, adjusted individuals.
We don't ever have to try to be like them
Not needing to emulate or imitate the "well-adjusted."
You don't have to hide away
Encouragement to express oneself openly.
Your compulsion to create
Emphasizing the urge to create.
Look around
Encouraging observation of the present environment.
Look around
Repeating the call to observe the surroundings.
Where could you rather be right now
Questioning the preference for the current location or situation.
I get that no one stays here forever
Acknowledging the transient nature of staying in one place.
By now I know better
Claiming increased understanding through experience.
You never know when
Uncertainty about unpredictable events.
Someone
Highlighting various potential negative outcomes.
Could get washed out, strung out, priced out
Listing potential adverse situations.
Pregnant, sunk in depression
Expressing discomfort discussing certain topics.
It's not something I like to think about
Avoiding dwelling on negative possibilities.
So for right now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment.
For right now
Reinforcing the significance of the immediate time.
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
Rejection of societal norms in favor of authenticity.
For the boring and well-adjusted
Reiteration of not conforming to societal expectations.
We don't ever have to try to be like them
Emphasizing freedom from societal pressures.
You don't have to hide away
Encouragement to embrace creative impulses openly.
Your compulsion to create
Repeating the encouragement to create freely.
Look around
Encouraging observation of the immediate environment.
Look around
Reiterating the call to observe the surroundings.
Where could you rather be right now
Questioning the preference for the current location or situation.
Leave the bullshit and the brunches
Rejecting societal norms and conventions.
For the boring and well-adjusted
Reiteration of not conforming to societal expectations.
We don't ever have to try to be like them
Emphasizing freedom from societal pressures.
You don't have to hide away
Encouragement to embrace creative impulses openly.
Your compulsion to create
Repeating the encouragement to create freely.
Look around
Encouraging observation of the immediate environment.
Look around
Reiterating the call to observe the surroundings.
Where could you rather be right now
Questioning the preference for the current location or situation.
