Slacker
Slacker's Lament: A Melodic Tale of Love's Slumber
Lyrics
I open the door to you and never close it
I am welcoming you into my life and leaving the door open for you.
You make me feel brand new
Your presence brings a refreshing and rejuvenating feeling to me.
And now we are in my room, I hope you know that
We are now in my personal space, and I hope you are aware of that.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I am willing to do anything for you; there are no limits.
Mmm, mmm, hmm
(Instrumental)
I could if I'd heard
I could understand if I had heard, but unfortunately, I seem to be lazy or inefficient.
But I guess I'm just a slacker
Acknowledging a sense of laziness or lack of motivation in oneself.
And maybe it wouldn't even matter
Suggesting that even if effort was made, it might not make a significant difference.
If it always ends in disaster
Expressing a pessimistic view that relationships tend to end badly.
So I'm just a slacker
Reiterating the self-identification as a slacker, someone lacking motivation.
I'm just a slacker
Repetition for emphasis on being a slacker.
Stars are in your eyes and mine won't focus
Noticing stars in the other person's eyes, contrasting with personal difficulty focusing.
To me, it's no surprise
It's not surprising to the singer that their focus is affected by the other person.
And now I fantasize, of you in hope that
Daydreaming about the other person, with the hope that they won't notice.
You won't realize
Wishing for the other person not to realize the daydreams or feelings.
I could if I'd heard
Repetition of the idea that understanding would be possible if the singer had heard.
But I guess I'm just a slacker
Reiteration of being a slacker, possibly indicating a resigned acceptance.
And maybe it wouldn't even matter
Doubting the significance of making an effort, considering potential failures.
If it always ends in disaster
Emphasizing the expectation that relationships might end poorly.
So I'm just a slacker
Reaffirming the self-identity as a slacker with a tone of acceptance.
I'm just a slacker
Repetition emphasizing the slacker identity.
And oh, I know I've been holding this in for so long
Acknowledging a long-held emotional burden that has not been expressed.
Thinking of you every time I write a song
Thinking about the other person consistently while engaging in creative expression.
And I could if I'd heard
Repetition of the idea that understanding or taking action was hindered by lack of intelligence.
But I wasn't smart enough
Acknowledging a lack of cleverness or wisdom in a specific situation.
And I'll never rest 'cause
Expressing a persistent state of unrest or unease.
If she's circling my world
Referring to someone potentially entering the singer's world, causing disturbance.
I could if I would
Expressing a hypothetical ability to understand if conditions were different.
But I guess I'm just a slacker
Reiterating the self-identification as a slacker, emphasizing a lack of proactive behavior.
And maybe it wouldn't even matter
Repeating the skepticism about the impact of effort in the face of anticipated failure.
If it always ends in disaster
Reemphasizing the pessimistic expectation of relationships ending poorly.
So I'm just a slacker
Reaffirming the self-awareness and acceptance of being a slacker.
I'm just a slacker
Concluding repetition of the slacker identity, possibly with a resigned or casual tone.
