Trouble Where You Seek It
Unraveling Life's Troubles
Lyrics
The plot gets thicker and it always goes astray
The storyline becomes more complicated and consistently deviates from the expected path.
You're never holding in your hands a particular play
You never have a specific plan in your hands.
You're not satisfied with the taste or smell
You are not content with the flavor or scent.
And it's not what you ordered, well
The outcome is not what you anticipated or desired.
There's a good chance some body else has got it made
There's a high probability that someone else has achieved success.
Well, there's trouble where you seek it
Trouble is present in the places you actively look for it.
You see it in store windows
You observe it in store windows.
And the box is twice as big as the item
The packaging is disproportionately larger than the actual item.
There's a spotlight shining from the corner both night and day
A spotlight draws attention day and night from a specific location.
Some gather round and paw the glass
Some people gather around and touch the glass.
Others who know better pass
Others, who are more informed, ignore it and move on.
And they whisper to themselves, they'll never find their way
Whispers circulate that certain individuals will never find their way.
With stars in their eyes, they'll never find their way
Individuals with ambitious dreams ("stars in their eyes") may struggle to find their path.
There's trouble where you seek it
Trouble is present in the places where you actively search for it.
You don't have to go sneaking around
No need to sneak around; others have already discovered your secrets.
To find they've found you out by now
It's already known that you've been found out.
There's trouble where you seek it
Trouble is found in the places you deliberately explore.
You're opening cans with your teeth
You resort to unconventional methods, such as opening cans with your teeth.
Chewing on the grizzle, trying just to have some cake
You deal with difficulties while trying to enjoy some benefits.
Toying with intentions, undoing what you make
You play with intentions, often undoing what you create.
It's hard to chew the fat, harder to swallow
It's challenging to deal with the excess and harder to accept or digest.
Under every bit of bone is the last bit of marrow
Beneath every layer, there's the essential part, and it's challenging to access.
There's trouble where you seek it
Trouble is present in the areas where you actively look for it.
