Dusty Glass
Navigating Life's Dusty Glass: A Poetic Journey of Choices
Lyrics
It’s late, you say to the window
Feeling a sense of lateness or urgency, speaking to the window as if addressing a person
Head takes all day to get up though
Having difficulty getting motivated or energized
Friends leave, kids scream on the pavement
People depart, children loudly playing outside
You think where am I gonna be landing
Contemplating the future and where one will end up
I know it feels like you’re just stuck in some malaise
Feeling trapped in a sense of stagnation or disinterest
A dusty glass on all your days
Life feels monotonous or unexciting, like viewing days through a dusty glass
You wonder how long it’ll take
Questioning the duration of this feeling
It doesn’t matter what you think or what you do
Implying insignificance of thoughts or actions in the face of life’s movement
You’re gonna catch life on the move
Life will progress regardless of personal expectations or plans
You’re gonna bite off more than you choose
Expectation of encountering challenges or responsibilities beyond one's intentions
I know it feels like you’re just stuck in some malaise
Reiterating the feeling of being stuck or in a rut
A dusty glass on all your days
Continued imagery of life feeling dull or mundane
You wonder how long it’ll take
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the duration of this feeling
It doesn’t matter what you think or what you do
Reasserting the idea that individual thoughts or actions may not significantly impact life's course
You’re gonna catch life on the move
Life's momentum will carry on despite personal considerations
You’re gonna bite off more than you chew
Expecting to face challenges or tasks larger than anticipated
So get the haircut make the purchase
Suggesting actions that could break the routine or bring change
At the store, drop your dollar on the floor
Symbolizing a trivial loss, possibly implying insignificant decisions
Run back home and wake up sore
Returning home fatigued or worn out
Or don’t do anything you don’t really wanna do
Encouraging authenticity in choices, suggesting not to do things out of obligation
Mean who am I to tell you
Recognizing individual agency, implying freedom to choose
You’re on a roll just push on through
Encouragement to persist despite difficulties or challenges
