Low Expectations
Dreaming Beyond Chains: Chris Wright's Perspective on Life
Lyrics
Gold chains ain’t mean change for me
Gold chains don't bring meaningful change for the speaker.
New cities new page
The speaker is in a new city, starting a new chapter.
New house same old days for me
Despite a new house, the speaker's days remain the same.
Can’t change my ways
The speaker acknowledges difficulty in changing their ways.
I’m focused on here today
The speaker is focused on the present.
I’ll focus on you tomorrow
Future focus is on someone else, possibly a relationship.
I know lately we both suffering
Both the speaker and someone else are currently suffering.
But I got no joy you can borrow
The speaker cannot provide joy to the other person.
Cynicism only goes so far
Cynicism has its limits for the speaker.
Been a minute since they towed my car
It's been a while since the speaker's car was towed.
Little visions of a sold out bar
The speaker has fleeting visions of a successful night at a bar.
I dream with low expectations
The speaker dreams with low expectations but aims for the stars.
I aim for the stars
The speaker dreams ambitiously.
But I never shoot for the stars
The speaker doesn't aim too high.
I Keep my hand out the jar
The speaker avoids getting involved in questionable activities.
I dream with low expectations
The speaker dreams with low expectations.
Little side things all wanna find center
Various distractions want to find their center in the speaker's life.
So I don’t mind being lost in the line send me home
The speaker doesn't mind being lost in the chaos.
I can’t decide why I like to side with sinners
The speaker is drawn to siding with sinners without clear reasons.
'Cause little lies tend to climb up the spine chilling bones
Small lies have a chilling effect on the speaker.
And everything leads everyone to the back bar
Everything leads everyone to a place of escape.
Where the lights off and the curtains close
A setting where reality is hidden.
And the peace comes but it never shows
Peace is elusive and doesn't manifest.
And it’s all lies but it’s okay, cause the suns out
Despite deception, the speaker finds solace because the sun is out.
And we’re here to stay, and it’s my life, live it my way
The speaker asserts their control over their life.
But I gotta keep it on the up and up right
The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimism.
Cynicism only goes so far
Cynicism has its limits for the speaker.
Been a minute since they towed my car
It's been a while since the speaker's car was towed.
Little visions of a sold out bar
The speaker has fleeting visions of a successful night at a bar.
I dream with low expectations
The speaker dreams with low expectations but aims for the stars.
I aim for the stars
The speaker dreams ambitiously.
But I never shoot for the stars
The speaker doesn't aim too high.
I Keep my hand out the jar
The speaker avoids getting involved in questionable activities.
I dream with low expectations
The speaker dreams with low expectations.
Little side things all wanna find center
Various distractions want to find their center in the speaker's life.
So I don’t mind being lost in the line send me home
The speaker doesn't mind being lost in the chaos.
I can’t decide why I like to side with sinners
The speaker is drawn to siding with sinners without clear reasons.
'Cause little lies tend to climb up the spine chilling bones
Small lies have a chilling effect on the speaker.
Gold chains are a lie
Gold chains are portrayed as deceptive.
Gold chains are a lie
Reiteration of the idea that gold chains are deceptive.
Gold chains are a lie
Continued emphasis on the deceptive nature of gold chains.
Gold chains are a lie
Repetition of the notion that gold chains are deceptive.
