Seriously
Breaking Free: Unveiling the True Meaning Behind Dylan Dunlap's 'Seriously'
Lyrics
I got everything I ever wanted
I achieved everything I desired.
But not the way that I expected
The outcome wasn't as I anticipated.
I looked everywhere that I was walking
I was oblivious while moving through life.
But never really paid attention
Lacked awareness in my surroundings.
I put in the work too much
I focused too much on my career.
But life’s more than an occupation
Life is more than just a job.
Pretty sure I lost touch
I lost a sense of connection.
But it wasn’t from the medication
Not due to medication but disconnection.
If only I knew it would take time
I underestimated the time needed.
To laugh at jokes without a punchline
Struggling to find humor without a clear point.
I took myself too seriously
I took myself too seriously.
To be someone else when I coulda' been me
Failed to be true to myself.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things
My emotions fixated on trivial matters.
‘Cause I took myself too seriously
Resulting from taking myself too seriously.
I got everything I ever needed
I possessed all essential things.
Said it was enough, but I didn’t mean it
Claimed it was sufficient, but insincerely.
I looked everywhere for all the answers
Sought answers everywhere, yet they didn't matter.
But they never even really mattered
The questions were insignificant.
I put in the work too much
Invested too much in my work.
But life’s more than an occupation
Life's more than a profession.
Pretty sure I lost touch
Lost touch with reality.
But it wasn’t from the medication
Not influenced by medication.
I took myself too seriously
I took myself too seriously.
To be someone else when I coulda' been me
Chose to be someone else, not authentic.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things
Obsessed with insignificant details.
‘Cause I took myself too seriously
Resulting from taking myself too seriously.
I put on quite a show
Presented a facade, a carefully crafted act.
Stuck to the script I wrote
Adhered strictly to a predefined script.
The funny part was thinking I could make it on my own
Deluded in thinking I could succeed alone.
I put on quite a show
Repeated the same performance.
Stuck to the script I wrote
Stuck to a predetermined script.
The funny part was thinking I could make it on my own
Realized the humor in trying to go solo.
I put on quite a show
Continued the charade.
Stuck to the script I wrote
Followed the same script rigidly.
The funny part was thinking I could make it on my own
Humorously believed I could make it alone.
I put on quite a show
Maintained the act.
Stuck to the script I wrote
Adhered to the scripted narrative.
The funny part was thinking I could make it on my own
Ironically thought I could succeed independently.
I took myself too seriously
I took myself too seriously.
To be someone else when I coulda' been me
Chose to be someone else, not authentic.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things
Obsessed with insignificant details.
‘Cause I took myself too seriously
Resulting from taking myself too seriously.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things
My heart fixated on trivial matters.
‘Cause I took myself too seriously
Resulting from taking myself too seriously.
