Chasing Serotonin: Unraveling the Pleasures and Pitfalls
Lyrics
I'm begging for
Expressing a strong desire or plea
A northern wind to come
Hoping for a change symbolized by a northern wind
And blow from my ears the plastic
Desiring to eliminate artificial or insincere influences
Subject myself to a randomness
Willingly subjecting oneself to unpredictability
I've become a slave to the part of my mind that demands shortcuts to pleasures
Becoming controlled by the instinct for immediate gratification
Therefore I
Consequently
Have allowed myself to become abandoned by the people that
Choosing a path that leads to isolation, feeling abandoned
I could have loved
Regretting missed opportunities to love others
And could have loved
Reflecting on reciprocal love that could have existed
Me
Expressing a missed chance for mutual love
I could have loved
Reiterating the possibility of past unexplored love
And could have loved
Repeating the idea of potential reciprocal love
Me
Emphasizing the notion of unfulfilled mutual affection
The initial serotonin release of a success
Describing the initial rush of happiness from a success
We're ecstatic for sure
Acknowledging the euphoria of success
But it's quickly sobering
Realizing the fleeting nature of the joy
By the thought of "oh shit
Reacting to the sobering realization of future challenges
All I have to look forward to now is varying degrees of this!"
Anticipating a repetitive cycle of similar experiences
Cue the worthwhile moments
Introducing meaningful moments to break the cycle
Ba ba da ba da ba da da
Expressing moments through vocalized sounds
Ba ba da ba da ba da da
-Ba ba da ba da ba da da
-Ba da da da da da da da
-So somebody shoot me while I'm happy!
Ironically wishing to end happiness before inevitable disappointment
Before I ever want it so bad
Fearing the intensity of future desires
But this'll never happen again
Recognizing the rarity of the current positive experience
So somebody shoot me while I'm happy!
Repeating the desire to end happiness prematurely
Ba ba da ba da ba da ba
Repeating vocalized sounds, possibly emphasizing the theme
Ba ba da ba da ba da ba
