Unraveling Life's Puzzle: Crosseyed Wisdom by CitrusTexas
Lyrics
Are you a smart kid
Questioning the listener's intelligence or awareness.
Did you listen to what they said
Asking if the listener paid attention to advice or guidance.
You're always early
Highlighting the listener's consistent punctuality.
Even when you're late
Contrasting the paradox of being early even when running late.
You're a poor man
Describing the listener as financially struggling.
Waiting for his pay
Depicting a person eagerly awaiting their wages.
Keep on running from yourself
Suggesting a tendency to avoid confronting one's true self.
Chasing rabbits down
Metaphorically pursuing elusive goals or distractions.
While playing cat and mouse
Engaging in activities that involve deception or evasion.
How far have you fallen
Questioning the depth of personal decline or challenges faced.
How fast can you run
Asking about the speed of the listener's response to difficulties.
Have you made any progress
Inquiring about personal growth or achievements.
Or has your race not yet begun
Raising the possibility that the listener has not yet begun their journey.
Sit up straight now
Instructing the listener to adopt an attentive posture.
Go ahead and
Encouraging the listener to take action.
Make us so damn proud
Expressing the desire for the listener to achieve success and make others proud.
Is your hardest
Questioning if the listener's best effort is sufficient.
Ever good enough
Raising the bar for personal excellence and accomplishment.
I wanna be me when I grow up
Expressing a wish to maintain one's authentic self as they grow older.
When you wake up
Referencing a future moment upon waking up.
And the years have passed you by
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact on the listener.
When there's nothing left
Addressing the potential depletion of personal resources or achievements.
Will you finally realize
Questioning whether the listener will recognize their situation.
Oh no
Expressing concern or realization about a negative outcome.
How far have you fallen
Reiteration of the inquiry about personal decline.
How fast can you run
Repeating the question about the listener's ability to overcome challenges.
Have you made any progress
Revisiting the inquiry about personal growth and accomplishments.
Or has your race not yet begun
Suggesting the possibility that the listener's journey has not yet started.
