So Satisfied
Embracing Satisfaction: Eternal Planes' Wisdom in 'So Satisfied'
Lyrics
The more I learn, the less I know
The more knowledge I acquire, the less certain I become.
A paradox and cliché combo
Expressing a situation that is both contradictory and overused.
The days go by I say your name
As time passes, I mention your name.
But never want to rhyme again
Despite uttering your name, I no longer desire to create rhymes.
You never seem to worry too much do you?
Observation about someone's lack of excessive concern.
You always seem to take it in your stride
Noting the individual's ability to handle situations calmly.
You've never thought that life was out to fool you
Belief that life is not deceitful or malicious.
I wish I'd learned to be so satisfied
Expressing a desire to learn contentment from the person described.
The less I need, the more I have
Having fewer material needs results in a richer life experience.
My problem was not knowing that
Regret over not realizing this truth earlier.
There is no gain to agonise
Stating that there is no benefit in excessive worry or distress.
When we already hold the prize
Recognizing that we already possess valuable things in life.
You never seem to worry too much do you?
Reiteration of someone's apparent lack of excessive worry.
You always seem to take it in your stride
Reinforcing the idea that the person faces challenges calmly.
You've never thought that life was out to fool you
Reaffirming the belief that life is not conspiring against the individual.
I wish I'd learned to be so satisfied
Repeating the desire to acquire the contentment demonstrated.
You never seem to worry too much do you?
Continuation of the observation about the person's demeanor.
You always seem to take it in your stride
Continuing to highlight the person's ability to handle situations.
You've never thought that life was out to fool you
Persisting in the belief that life is not deceptive or hostile.
I wish I'd learned to be so satisfied
Reiterating the wish to learn contentment from the individual.
You never seem to worry too much do you?
Re-emphasizing the person's apparent lack of excessive worry.
You always seem to take it in your stride
Reaffirming the individual's composed approach to challenges.
You've never thought that life was out to fool you
Reiterating the belief that life is not trying to deceive.
I wish I'd learned to be so satisfied
Repeating the desire to have learned contentment.
