The World Is Too Much With Me
Navigating Life's Chaos: Darrell Scott's Reflection on the Overwhelming World
Lyrics
Outta touch outta time
Feeling disconnected and running out of time.
Outa reach and outta line
Out of reach and crossing boundaries.
In this world but in the dark
Existing in the world but feeling lost.
Patiently waiting for a spark
Waiting patiently for inspiration or a positive change.
From the cradle to the grave
Life journey from birth to death.
We stand in line please and behave
Following societal norms and expectations.
Feel the truth but keep it hid
Recognizing the truth but keeping it hidden.
Under radar under lid
Operating beneath the radar or unnoticed.
I bring my best and I brave the cold
Putting forth the best effort despite challenges.
Live from my heart til it or me is old
Living authentically from the heart.
I dream in sleep but it's gone in wake
Dreaming in sleep, but dreams fade upon waking.
The world comes in to take and take
Worldly pressures taking away without giving back.
Not fit to work not fit to change
Feeling unfit for work or change.
Not fit to fit or rearrange
Unable to fit in or adapt.
Underwhelmed underachieved
Feeling unimpressed and not achieving potential.
Under the gun but still can't leave
Under pressure but unable to escape.
So we stay the course and wait it out
Persevering and enduring challenges.
This too shall pass there is no doubt
Believing that difficult times will pass.
But no such tricks will work today
Tricks or strategies won't work on a particular day.
It's ship of fools Inauguration Day
A reference to a misguided or foolish event (Inauguration Day).
Oh the world is too much with me
Overwhelmed by the demands of the world.
The world too much with me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by the world.
Too much today
Expressing that today's challenges are too much.
Oh the world is too much with me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by the world.
The world too much with me
-Too much today
Expressing that today's challenges are too much.
Ooh the world is too much with me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by the world.
The world too much with me
-Too much too much for me today
Today's challenges are excessively burdensome.
Ooh
Expressing the overwhelming nature of the world.
The world is too much with me
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by the world.
The world too much with me
-Today
Emphasizing the difficulty faced in today's world.
