Smile with Your Teeth
Embracing the Beautiful Chaos Within: Smile with Your Teeth
Lyrics
Why am I so addicted to my cell phone?
Reflecting on an addiction to the cell phone and questioning its impact.
It's not telling me anything I don't know
Expressing that the cell phone doesn't provide new information.
Just that I'm anxious and bored
Noting feelings of anxiety and boredom.
Wish I could be someone who doesn't constantly need
Desire to be less dependent on external validation for self-esteem.
To seek out their self esteem
Expressing a need to find self-worth independently.
From what other people think of me
Recognizing the impact of others' opinions on self-perception.
And while I'm waiting patiently
Impatiently waiting for change or self-improvement.
I'm comparing myself to
Comparing oneself to younger and more attractive individuals.
What the younger hotter people do
Feeling the pressure to conform to societal standards of attractiveness.
But I mean it when I say
Asserting that time is spent purposefully, even if it seems unproductive.
I waste my time in the best way
Embracing the idea of wasting time in a way that brings personal enjoyment.
Even on the days that I enjoy this
Acknowledging the contradiction of finding enjoyment in seemingly pointless activities.
Feels pointless but I guess
Contemplating the purposelessness of certain experiences.
I could be somebody else entirely
Considering the possibility of adopting a different persona.
Comb my hair and smile with my teeth
Desire to present oneself differently, including physical appearance and facial expression.
Get a job that actually makes money
Contemplating a career change for financial gain.
Forget happiness eventually
Questioning the pursuit of happiness as a long-term goal.
But if that's how it was
Imagining an alternative life scenario but suggesting it might be less enjoyable.
I'm pretty sure I'd have less fun
Highlighting the importance of having fun in the current situation.
Cause I mean it when I say
Reiteration of spending time purposefully, even if it seems unproductive.
I waste my time in the best way
Reaffirming the idea of enjoying time spent in a way that brings personal fulfillment.
Trying to add some point to what feels
Attempting to find meaning or purpose in seemingly pointless activities.
Pointless so pointless
Emphasizing the perceived lack of purpose in certain actions.
But I guess I could go somewhere else
Considering a change of environment or perspective.
A vacation from myself
Contemplating a break from the current state of mind or routine.
Am I at the point where I'm supposed to ask for help?
Questioning the need for external assistance or intervention.
