Lyrics
So tired of trying to keep up with someone else's pace
Feeling exhausted from trying to match someone else's speed or lifestyle.
You got a new tattoo, but the same old face
Observing a physical change (tattoo) but perceiving no change in the person's character or essence.
Complacency is the enemy and I've been acting old
Recognizing complacency as a foe and feeling aged due to its influence.
There's got to be more to life than doing what we're told
Expressing a desire for a more meaningful existence beyond societal expectations.
You can't bottle this it always slips away
Highlighting the elusive nature of something valuable, implying it cannot be preserved.
Shut out of a dream we had not long ago
Feeling excluded from a recent aspiration or goal.
There's nothing to prove, nothing to show
Stating there's nothing to prove or showcase to others.
We've been told all this before
Acknowledging familiarity with the advice received before.
So why am I still keeping score
Questioning the persistence of keeping track or comparing oneself to others.
Constraints are all around you every single day
Highlighting the omnipresence of limitations in daily life.
When you're feeling overloaded you can't run away
Feeling trapped when overwhelmed and unable to escape from the challenges.
And everywhere you go there's another wall in life
Noticing obstacles everywhere in life.
No matter where you look there's no end in sight
Expressing a sense of endless difficulties and challenges.
You can't bottle this it always slips away
Reiterating the inability to preserve or capture something valuable.
Shut out of a dream we had not long ago
Revisiting the feeling of being excluded from a recent dream or aspiration.
Nothing to prove, nothing to show
Reiterating that there's nothing to prove or showcase.
We've been told all this before
Recalling the repetition of received advice.
And I'm still keeping score
Questioning why the comparison or score-keeping persists.
I understand you've got pressure's
Acknowledging external pressures on someone.
But I can't accept your reaction
Expressing difficulty in accepting the person's response or reaction to the pressures.
It's been a long road
Reflecting on the lengthy journey and questioning its purpose.
Is it all a distraction?
Wondering if everything experienced is just a diversion or distraction.
Birth, school, work, death
Listing fundamental life stages (birth, school, work, death) that everyone must face.
These are things we all have to accept
Accepting these stages as universal experiences.
And sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall
Encountering difficulties and feeling stuck or blocked.
I can't make sense of it all
Expressing confusion and an inability to make sense of everything.
Shut up!
An abrupt exclamation, possibly signaling frustration or a desire for silence.
It's another time and another place
Indicating a shift in time and place, suggesting a need for a different perspective.
Get a different view and a brand new take
Encouraging a new outlook and approach.
It's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
Emphasizing the freshness of a new day.
Brand new day

It's a brand new day
Reiterating the theme of a new beginning.
Brand new day
