Clear My Mind
Escape the Concrete Jungle: Finding Joy in Life's Simplicity
Lyrics
I wanna escape this hustle-bustle
I desire to escape the hectic and noisy environment.
Everybody’s on the move
Everyone is constantly moving and busy.
There’s no time for face to face
There's no time for personal, face-to-face interactions.
No time to enjoy the view
Little opportunity to appreciate or savor the surroundings.
There’s noises right outside my window
Noises from outside disturb my peace, keeping me awake.
Keep me awake most every night
The urban environment feels restless at night.
I know it’s called a concrete jungle
The city is often referred to as a challenging and competitive place.
But there’s not any grass in sight
Contrastingly, there is no natural greenery in sight.
Now I
Transition to a new thought or perspective.
Am not a country boy
The speaker doesn't identify with a rural lifestyle.
But I
Despite not being a country boy, there's belief in finding joy.
Believe that I find joy
Emphasis on the potential for happiness.
In simple things
Enjoyment in the simplicity of life.
That this life brings
Finding joy in ordinary aspects of life.
Sometimes
At times, a desire to escape from the noise and chaos.
I wanna leave the noise
Expressing a wish to leave behind the urban clamor.
Behind
Wanting to distance oneself from the bustling environment.
And grab my steering wheel and drive
Expressing a desire to drive and escape.
Drive, drive
Repetition for emphasis on the act of driving.
To clear my mind
Driving is a means to find mental clarity and peace.
It’s hard to let your thoughts breathe
Difficulty in giving one's thoughts space to breathe.
When your mind is so polluted
The mind is polluted, likely by stress and external factors.
I’ll get my feet off this concrete
A commitment to leave the city environment.
And let myself get rooted
Allowing oneself to connect with nature and find stability.
Now I
Reiteration of not being a country person.
Am not a country boy
Despite urban life, there's a belief in finding joy.
But I
Emphasizing the possibility of happiness.
Believe that I find joy
Finding joy in simplicity despite the urban environment.
In simple things
Reiteration of joy in simple things life offers.
That this life brings
Finding happiness in ordinary aspects of life.
Sometimes
Repetition of the desire to escape the noise.
I wanna leave the noise
Expressing a wish to leave behind the urban chaos.
Behind
Wanting to distance oneself from the bustling environment.
And grab my steering wheel and drive
Expressing a desire to drive and escape.
Drive, drive
Repetition for emphasis on the act of driving.
To clear my mind
Driving as a means to find mental clarity and peace.
To clear my mind
Repetition emphasizing the need to clear the mind.
To clear my mind
Continued emphasis on the desire to clear the mind.
