Lyrics
Saturday mornings watching cartoons in bed
Saturday mornings were once spent leisurely watching cartoons in bed
Now i wake up to feeling anxious instead
Nowadays, I wake up feeling anxious instead of carefree
All this weight on my shoulders
Feeling burdened by responsibilities and stress
Must mean that i’m getting older
Perceiving signs of aging due to the weight of responsibilities
I’d go outside, if I could get out of my head
Desiring to go outside but feeling mentally trapped
Can’t keep up with the fantasy
Struggling to keep up with an idealized version of life
we overdose on vanity
Excessively indulging in self-admiration and materialism
what we wanted to change, changed us
Our initial desires to change ourselves have altered us instead
We use to be so happy-go-lucky
Previously carefree and joyful
now all we care about is our looks and our money
Presently focused on appearance and wealth
my parents said you’ll grow up just like me
Parents foreseeing their child growing up to resemble them
but why can’t we be kids, all happy-go-lucky
Questioning why it's difficult to retain childlike innocence
we can’t buy ----, we throw our cash out on rent
Unable to afford essential things but spending on non-essentials
We can’t afford it, but we love to pretend
Living beyond means for the sake of appearances
All of this weight on our shoulders,
Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities
it should be bringing us closer
Expecting shared burdens to bring people closer together
but when did a follower mean more than a friend
Questioning the value placed on followers over genuine friendships
we over dose on vanity
Excessive self-admiration leading to dissatisfaction
god this life is killing me
Expressing discontent with the pressures of life
We use to be so happy-go-lucky
Reflecting on a happier, carefree past
now all we care about is our looks and our money
Current focus on superficial aspects like appearance and wealth
my parents said you’ll grow up just like me
Parents foreseeing their child following a similar path
but why can’t we be kids, all happy-go-lucky
Longing to reclaim the carefree essence of childhood
