Distracted
Chasing Desires: Unraveling Coffin Corner's Craving Tale
Lyrics
It feels like I'm missing out
Expressing a sense of being left out or excluded from something.
Addicted so I want it now
Desiring something intensely and immediately due to addiction.
They tell me that I need it
External influences suggesting a perceived necessity for the desired thing.
So finally I'll feel succeeded
Anticipating a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment upon obtaining the desired thing.
I want more stuff so I feel fine
Seeking material possessions to achieve a state of well-being.
I cannot wait till it's all mine
Impatience and eagerness for the desired possessions to be acquired.
But when I finally have it
After obtaining the desired possessions, a new desire or craving arises.
There's a craving for the next bit
Continual cycle of desire and satisfaction leading to an ongoing craving for more.
I feel alive when I have it yeah
A sense of vitality and fulfillment when in possession of the desired things.
I need your stuff
Expressing dependency on external possessions for personal well-being.
And if I press on till my days are done
Persisting in the pursuit of desires until the end of one's life.
Then I tried everything I could
Having exhausted all efforts to fulfill desires but possibly with a sense of futility.
I feel alive when I have it yeah
A repeat of the sentiment of feeling alive when in possession of desired things.
I need your love
Expressing a need for emotional or relational fulfillment alongside material possessions.
And if this goes on till our world is gone
Continuing the pursuit of desires until the end of the world.
I tried everything I could
Reiterating the idea of trying everything to fulfill desires, possibly with a sense of desperation.
Collected much I didn't need
Accumulating possessions that are unnecessary or excessive.
Distraction controlled over me
Being controlled or influenced by distractions in life.
I had so much to look after
Feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities and commitments.
That it blurred the plans I had once
Having one's original plans and goals blurred or obscured by distractions.
Delight ain't found in all my gear
Finding joy not in material possessions but in the impact one leaves behind.
But in the trace I'm leaving here
Highlighting the importance of the legacy or mark one leaves rather than the possessions.
Cause short will be the pleasure
Emphasizing the transient nature of pleasure derived from material possessions.
Regret might be forever
Warning about potential long-term regret associated with prioritizing material gains.
I cannot take all I want through this narrow gate
Recognizing limitations in achieving all desires through a narrow path or means.
If I'm holding on to my heart it will be the end of me
Cautioning against clinging too tightly to one's desires as it may lead to negative consequences.
I cannot take all I want through this narrow gate
Reiterating the caution against pursuing desires in a way that jeopardizes one's well-being.
I will be losing my soul if I can't come along with you
Expressing the risk of losing one's essence or identity if desires are pursued recklessly.
I feel alive when I have it yeah
Repeating the theme of feeling alive when possessing desired things.
I need your stuff
Expressing a continued need for material possessions for a sense of vitality.
And if I press on till my days are done
Continuing the pursuit of desires until the end of one's life.
Then I tried everything I could
Reiterating the idea of trying everything to fulfill desires, possibly with a sense of futility.
I feel alive when I have it yeah
Repeating the sentiment of feeling alive when in possession of desired things.
I need your love
Expressing a need for emotional or relational fulfillment alongside material possessions.
And if this goes on till our world is done
Continuing the pursuit of desires until the end of the world.
I tried everything I could
Concluding the idea of trying everything to fulfill desires, possibly with a sense of desperation.
