Ordinary Pictures
Unlocking Life's Monotony: Floodlines' Reflection on Stagnation
Lyrics
You avoid the rain, but you never got the chance
You've avoided experiencing difficulties or challenges
To become soaked and curse the world for being a long-faced guy
Not having the opportunity to fully express frustration or emotions openly
You're reading books, but you value them by weight
You assess the value of books based on their physical weight rather than their content
You let the time run out to see if things can change
Allowing time to pass without taking action in the hope that situations will change on their own
When was the last time that you have felt appalled?
When was the last time you were deeply shocked or disturbed?
Familiar themes have seized your everlasting days
Your life is consumed by repetitive and familiar patterns
Why do you feel that way?
Questioning the reasons behind certain emotions or attitudes
It is time to change the game
Encouragement to change your approach or strategy
Anything is harder when you're drowning out the sound
Tasks become more challenging when distractions overwhelm you
Skipping passages you know won't suit your ideas
Avoiding parts of information or knowledge that contradict your beliefs
No sensation is as prominent as sensible indifference
Feeling detached or unaffected is more noticeable than strong emotions
It's doing you a favor, you've been told
Being detached is seen as beneficial, according to advice received
And where's the plan (where's the plan) when you'll be walking on the surface again
Questioning plans for when things normalize or stabilize
And where's the plan (where's the plan) when you'll be walking on the surface again
Repetition of questioning future plans when things get better
Why do you feel that way?
Continuing to inquire about the reasons behind certain feelings
It is time to change the game
Reiteration to modify or transform the current approach
You showed your ordinary pictures in some ordinary book, showed the sunsets and the road signs, your defensive look
Sharing mundane aspects of life with a defensive attitude
Then 9000 days were scattered on the floor and swept away, when you tore the pages one by one with passion, you said
Destroying or discarding a long period of life (symbolized by days) passionately
'There is nothing else I couldn't get, when you were taken by that polaroid lens and
Reflecting on the insignificance of material possessions or achievements
Well, you know how that's like, yeah do you know how that's like? Do you remember how you seized that day?
Recalling a past experience captured in a photo and questioning its significance
Why do you feel that way?
Continued inquiry into the reasons behind specific emotions
It is time to change the game
Repeated encouragement to change or alter the current approach or mindset
