Des Res
Embracing Life Beyond Walls: Des Res by Dallin Applebaum Unveiled
Lyrics
In the endless contest of who grows fastest
In the constant competition of growth,
I sleep-walk right through the masses
I navigate through crowds without much awareness,
Working with one open eye
Working with partial attention,
Eat sleep play, then back in line
Engaging in the routine of life, then queuing up again,
And it would be nice to gain access
Expressing a desire to access lifestyles not prone to failures,
To life-styles not prone to crashes
But struggling to achieve it,
But i can't seem to get it right
Feeling incapable of getting things right,
These walls are starting to feel tight
Sensing a constriction in the surroundings,
It's safe inside but the roof is leaking
Safe within, but facing internal issues,
I bang my head against the wall, to the beat it makes
Physically expressing frustration by hitting the wall rhythmically,
And I am fine - I'm alive and I'm adapting
Despite challenges, maintaining a positive outlook and adapting,
To the sand in my eyes
Enduring difficulties symbolized by sand in the eyes,
Cause I'm tired of waiting for empty shells that wash ashore
Impatiently waiting for unfulfilled promises,
I'm tired of paying demigods I call landlord
Disliking the obligation to pay landlords who act like gods,
I don't wanna borrow
Rejecting the idea of borrowing,
Or pay it off tomorrow
Refusing to defer payments to the future,
But there's limited supply
Acknowledging the scarcity of resources in the desirable residence (des res),
In this des res, des res
Emphasizing the desirability of the residence,
Some settle for plaster, trashes
Some settle for inferior conditions and distractions,
No windows, rose colored glasses
Choosing to see the world through a distorted lens,
The lights go out but, hey, we've got matches
Facing challenges with available resources like matches during power outages,
No fresh food, but we've got stashes
Having reserves despite a lack of fresh supplies,
Or some prefer underhand tactics
Alternatively, employing deceitful methods,
Pick on snails slow as molasses
Exploiting vulnerabilities, symbolized by slow snails,
Socialize just to find cracks then
Interacting socially to identify weaknesses,
Take their homes right off their backs and
Taking advantage of others' vulnerabilities,
Shine a diplomatic smile
Presenting a diplomatic facade,
Cover up the whole the damn heist
Concealing the entire wrongful act,
And I am fine,
Reiterating resilience and adaptability despite challenges,
I'm alive I'm adapting
Expressing vitality and adjustment to difficulties,
To the sand in my eyes
Enduring difficulties represented by sand in the eyes,
Cause I'm tired of waiting for empty shells that wash ashore
Impatiently waiting for unfulfilled promises,
And I'm tired of paying demigods I call landlord
Disliking the obligation to pay landlords who act like gods,
And I don't wanna borrow
Rejecting the idea of borrowing,
Or pay it off tomorrow
Refusing to defer payments to the future,
But there's limited supply in this des res, des res
Acknowledging the scarcity of resources in the desirable residence (des res),
I'm gonna try to get my Des Res Des Res
Expressing determination to attain the desirable residence,
I'm not gonna lie to get my Des Res, Des Res
Committing to honesty in the pursuit of the desirable residence.
