Lyrics

Look, we pick our coins from where it comes (Where it comes)

Reflecting on the origins and choices in life, acknowledging the source of one's earnings or achievements.

Trying to make sense, my mind is on the fence

Expressing confusion and indecision, grappling with the purpose of existence.

The reason why we're here (Here)

Pondering the reason for being in a particular situation or existence.

Or why things began

Questioning the inception or starting point of things in life.

What I really think I'm trying to say

Struggling to articulate thoughts, possibly indicating a complex or ambiguous perspective.

I'm living in a shade of grey

Living in a state of uncertainty or ambiguity, represented by the metaphorical "shade of grey."

Of time and space, yeah

Referring to the fluidity and interconnectedness of time and space.


I been ready for weeks now

Feeling prepared for a significant event or challenge after weeks of readiness.

Am I out of my league now?

Questioning one's competence or suitability for a particular situation.

Never seem to be winning the race

Expressing a consistent struggle and lack of success in a competitive environment.

I keep coming in 2nd place, yeah

Repeated experience of coming in second place, implying a sense of near-victory but not achieving the ultimate goal.

Can't seem to close my eyes the thought of sleep just blows my mind

Difficulty in finding rest or sleep due to persistent thoughts and concerns.

Every little chance I get, I think of the steps that I didn't take yet

Reflecting on missed opportunities and contemplating the unexplored paths in life.


Are we only reaching for medals?

Pondering whether life's pursuits are solely focused on achieving tangible rewards such as medals.

For things we can hold, silver and gold

Questioning if the primary goals are materialistic, symbolized by the desire for silver and gold.


Pick up your crown nah live your life inna regret

Encouraging to embrace one's worth, advising against living with remorse.

Just keep it moving forward and put down your cigarette

Urging to continue progressing and to abandon harmful habits represented by the metaphor of putting down a cigarette.

Don't get caught in the lies and swim your way around the net

Cautioning against deception and advocating for navigating through challenges without succumbing to falsehoods.

And give thanks and praise for another day

Expressing gratitude for each new day and emphasizing the insignificance of medals in the grand scheme of life.

It's just medals at the end of the day, that you get doing things along the way

Highlighting that the medals obtained are a byproduct of the journey and experiences along the way.

Endless ladder of levels, always fighting our devils, no

Describing life as a continuous struggle against personal challenges or inner demons.


I been ready for weeks now

Reiteration of being prepared for an extended period, possibly emphasizing the prolonged anticipation.

Am I out of my league now?

Repeating the question about one's adequacy or fitting into a particular context.

Never seem to be winning the race

Echoing the theme of consistent struggles and a pattern of not achieving first place in endeavors.

I keep coming in 2nd place, yeah

Reiterating the experience of consistently being in the runner-up position.

Can't seem to close my eyes the thought of sleep just blows my mind

Persisting difficulty in finding peace or rest due to mental preoccupations.

Every little chance I get, I think of the steps that I didn't take yet

Continuing to contemplate missed opportunities and the paths not taken.
