Lyrics
I quit my day job through the week
The singer has left their regular job.
No dime is worth the energy
No amount of money justifies the effort expended.
The thoughts I get before I sleep
The thoughts occurring before sleeping have changed.
Right as I slip away
As the singer drifts into sleep, their thoughts shift.
Are different to what they used to be
Current thoughts differ from past ones.
I'm looking for a way out of my mind
The singer desires an escape from their thoughts.
Way out, way out
Yearning for a way out.
But maybe the way out is inside of me
The solution might lie within the singer.
It's such a nice day out the sun shine
Commenting on the pleasant weather.
So why do I feel like none of it's real life?
Despite the beautiful day, life feels unreal.
None of it's real
The singer perceives none of it as genuine.
The things that drive me up the wall
Frustrations that deeply bother the singer.
Up the wall
These frustrations cause emotional distress.
The things that pass others by
Issues that others overlook.
For days I wait for you to call
Waiting for a particular person's call.
When it could be me on the other line
Reflecting on being in the caller's position.
I'm looking for a way out of my mind
Seeking an escape from troubling thoughts.
Way out, way out
Desire to find a way out intensifies.
But maybe the way out is inside of me
Recognizing the potential internal solution.
It's such a nice day out the sun shine
Commenting again on the pleasant weather.
So why do I feel like none of it's real life?
Despite the beautiful day, reality feels elusive.
My inner voice knows better than what comes out of my mouth
Inner thoughts are wiser than spoken words.
Heart like leather, go getter, I hate pressure, forever
Heart resilient, ambitious, disliking stress, forever.
I wanted to do better, scared to let anyone down
Striving for improvement but afraid of disappointing.
Wish I could take back the things I didn't know before, before
Regretting lack of prior knowledge or awareness.
I'm looking for a way out of my mind
Continued search for mental liberation.
But maybe the way out is inside of me
Internal resolution might hold the answer.
It's such a nice day out the sun shine
Reiterating the beautiful weather.
So why do I feel like none of it's real?
Despite the lovely day, reality feels distant.
None of it's real
None of the perceived reality feels genuine.
None of it's real
Emphasizing the lack of authenticity.
None of it's real
Highlighting the sense of unreality.
None of it's real
Continued emphasis on the lack of genuineness.
