Hit Eject
Navigating Life's Maze: Embracing Imperfection in Eyelid Cinema's 'Hit Eject'
Lyrics
These days
Expressing the current time frame or era
I'm caught up in a what if? pattern of mind
Caught in a cycle of speculative thoughts
I'm yelling out for anything, all the time
Desire for constant stimulation or distraction
Just give me new lines
Seeking new experiences or perspectives
My walls
Metaphorical description of personal space or barriers
Covered in scuffed-up souvenirs
Physical reminders of past experiences
Pieces of my brain lost to the years
Memory fragments lost over time
Will they still shine?
Questioning the enduring quality of memories
Sometimes I just make it up as I go
Improvisational approach to life
Just like anyone else I know
Emphasizing commonality with others
The whole damn thing is a show
Life as a performance or spectacle
And it turns out
Realization of personal limitations
Man, I can't do everything
Acceptance of inability to do everything
I could change course in a redirection
Consideration of changing direction in life
In shattered glass I saw an old reflection
Seeing a distorted reflection in a broken situation
What are you trying to protect?
Questioning the motive behind protective actions
It's so much easier to hit eject
Preferring to avoid challenges or difficulties
Cross me off
Wishing to be excluded or removed from certain contexts
Cross me off these lists
Desiring to be removed from specific lists or obligations
I'm balling up my fists
Feeling frustration or anger
But every swing I take, I miss
Repeated failures or setbacks
Maybe that's just it
Suggesting acceptance of circumstances
These pieces were never really meant to fit
Recognizing that certain elements don't align
And all these routines that are making me sick
Unhealthy and monotonous routines
Starving my soul, watch it levitate and lift up
Neglecting one's spiritual or emotional well-being
If I keep running into brick walls that I build
Self-imposed obstacles
The whole damn thing is a show
Reiteration of life as a performance
And I'm burnt out
Feeling exhausted or depleted
Man I can't do anything
Acknowledging personal limitations again
It's like the only thing I'm designed to do
Perceiving a limited capability in oneself
Is set alarms and sleep straight through
Struggling with daily responsibilities
All that I protect
Guarding something valuable
It's so much easier to hit eject
Choosing the easier path of avoidance
I'm running into brick walls that I build
Continuing to face self-created obstacles
This pattern of doubt
Persistent feelings of uncertainty
It's bleeding in
Uncertainty affecting one's thoughts
But you can wash it out
Hope for overcoming doubt
It's not permanent
Belief in the impermanence of negative feelings
