Ordinary Life
Embracing the Unconventional Journey
Lyrics
I'm sick of this record already
I'm already tired of listening to this record.
Let's wreck all the preconceived notions we bring to it
Let's challenge and break down our preconceived ideas about this record.
Check all the baggage or better yet burn it
Examine all the emotional baggage or discard it altogether.
Start all over again
Start fresh, begin anew.
Let's start with your life as you know it
Let's examine and question your life as you currently understand it.
Way back in our mothers' wombs folded like notebooks
Reflecting on the early stages of life, symbolized by the fetal position in mothers' wombs.
We had no idea of all the tote bags and meat hooks
No awareness of future challenges represented by tote bags and meat hooks.
Waiting out in the world
A metaphorical transition from the safety of the womb to the uncertainties of the world.
One September in Boston
Referring to a specific time and place, possibly marking a significant life event.
I lost the will to live
Feeling a deep sense of despair, likened to an astronaut disconnected from the spacecraft.
I was just like an astronaut cut from the ship
Sense of detachment and vulnerability, floating and awaiting inevitable consequences.
And floating and waiting to die
Expressing a state of hopelessness and waiting for an end.
I was sick of my ordinary life
Expressing discontent with an ordinary, mundane life.
I was so sick of ordinary life
Reiteration of the strong dissatisfaction with an ordinary life.
I was sick of this ordinary life
Repetition of the dissatisfaction with an ordinary life.
The human mind gets sick real easy
Highlighting the fragility of the human mind and its susceptibility to dissatisfaction.
The human mind gets way fucking sick of beauty
Expressing how the human mind easily becomes tired of beauty.
And I know, and it's happened to me
Personal acknowledgment of experiencing this dissatisfaction repeatedly.
Again and again, again and again
Emphasizing the need for constant renewal and innovation.
You've gotta make it new
Advocating for the continuous creation of new experiences and perspectives.
You've gotta keep it new to keep it true
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining truth by constantly refreshing one's outlook.
And you're allowed to do anything you've gotta do
Asserting the freedom to take any necessary actions to break free from an ordinary life.
Just 'cause you're sick of your ordinary life
Just because life is ordinary, it doesn't justify giving up or ending it.
Doesn't mean you should bottle up and die
Encouraging resilience in the face of dissatisfaction, discouraging self-destructive behavior.
Lose your way completely but stay alive
Suggesting that it's acceptable to lose your way but emphasizing the importance of staying alive.
