Watching The Wheels
Embracing Life's Rhythm: Watching the Wheels with Chris Cornell
Lyrics
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
People criticize my unconventional choices and actions.
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
Others offer various warnings in an attempt to prevent me from harm.
When I say that I'm okay, they look at me kind of strange
Despite assuring them that I'm fine, they view me strangely, questioning my happiness since I'm no longer conforming to societal norms.
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
Addressing the assumption that abandoning societal expectations should make me unhappy.
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
People criticize me for daydreaming and not actively participating in a conventional lifestyle.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
Others provide advice with the intention of guiding me toward a more enlightened path.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Despite their concerns, I insist that I'm content observing life's subtleties.
Don't you miss the big time, boy? You're no longer on the ball
Addressing the notion that I might regret not pursuing a more traditional and ambitious lifestyle.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
Expressing the calm enjoyment of observing life's cyclical patterns.
I really love to watch them roll
Expressing a genuine appreciation for the cyclical nature of life.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
Acknowledging the decision to step away from a monotonous and predictable existence.
I just had to let it go
Explaining the necessity of letting go of conventional expectations and routines.
I just had to let it go
Reiterating the importance of letting go and embracing a different path.
People asking questions lost in confusion
Addressing people's confusion and their tendency to ask questions about my unconventional choices.
Well, I tell them there's no problems
Asserting that there are no problems, only solutions, emphasizing a positive perspective.
Only solutions
People react skeptically, unable to comprehend the absence of conventional problems.
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me
Expressing the perception that others think I've lost my sanity due to my unconventional lifestyle.
As if I've lost my mind
Addressing the judgmental looks received for deviating from societal norms.
I tell them there's no hurry
Reassuring others that there's no rush or need to conform to societal expectations.
I'm just sitting here doing time
Indicating a passive acceptance of the time spent outside conventional norms.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
Reiterating the joy derived from observing life's cyclicality.
I really love to watch them roll
Expressing the genuine enjoyment of witnessing the repetitive nature of life.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
Acknowledging the departure from a repetitive and predictable existence.
