this place isnt real
Seeking Happiness in an Unreal World
Lyrics
Watching the sunset from the bottom of the deep end
Observing the sunset while submerged at the lowest point
Nobody likes me and they never will
Expressing a perception of being disliked and anticipating continued isolation
Nobody taught me to drown no I learned all by myself
Self-reliance in learning to endure challenges, particularly the metaphorical drowning
Watching the home team lose from the nose bleeds
Witnessing the local team's defeat from high up in the stands
Tell me your problems and I'll nod like I care
Offering a facade of empathy when hearing others' issues
I don't know where I'm going but I'll know when I get there
Expressing uncertainty about the future but confidence in recognizing it upon arrival
I want to be happy
Desire for happiness
But this place isnt real
Recognition that the current environment or situation is not genuine or conducive to happiness
I want to be happy
Reiteration of the desire for happiness
I want to be happy
-But this place isnt real
Acknowledgment that the current place or state is not authentic or fulfilling for happiness
I want to be happy
Reiteration of the desire for happiness
Watching the blankets dry on the clothes line
Observing the slow process of drying blankets on a clothesline
The sunlight traces your body through the bed sheet
Depicting the play of sunlight creating an outline of the body through bed sheets
When the sun disappears
Anticipating a shift or change when the sun sets
I'll be right where you left me
Commitment to remaining in the same state or place until someone returns
