Lyrics

Will I get out of bed?

Contemplating whether to start the day.

Can't even afford to make sense

Struggling to make sense due to financial constraints.

At least I woke up not dead

Grateful for being alive today.

I can't tell if it's just a realistic dream (Please wake up)

Ambiguity about reality, questioning if life is just a dream.

We're all just paintings on people's walls

Reflection on being perceived by others like artwork.

Are we more than what our mother saw before we turned 18?

Exploring whether one's identity goes beyond parental expectations.

Fall in line for the ride

Conforming to societal expectations.

4 to 5 times you'll question all the lies that you've said

Self-reflection and questioning the falsehoods one has spoken.

Back away from gravity

Urging to step back from the pressures of life.

We're the apple tree

Metaphorically identifying as part of the "apple tree," symbolizing growth.

You can hide in disguise

Considering hiding true self behind a mask.

Would you still wear the mask?

Questioning the choice to conceal one's authentic identity.

It's never worth your life

Emphasizing the value of life over trivial matters.

Don't waste it all

Encouraging not to waste life.

And now I'm running against the tide

Feeling the pressure of going against the norm.

And I'm on fire

Experiencing intense emotions or passion.

There's more to life than just jazz and cocktails

Expressing that life is more than just pleasure and indulgence.

You think it's easy to reach nirvana?

Questioning the ease of achieving spiritual enlightenment.

Damn right, just let go and do the "ha-ha"

Sarcastically suggesting an easy path to happiness.

We're all just paintings on people's walls

Reiterating the idea of being perceived as art by others.

Are we more than what our mother saw before we turned 18?

Continuing exploration of individual identity beyond parental influence.

Don't lose that childhood innocence

Advising to retain the innocence of childhood.

I pray that it wasn't gone before you turned 18

Hoping that innocence persists beyond the age of 18.

Fall in line for the ride

Returning to societal conformity.

4 to 5 times you'll question all the lies that you've said

Repeating the theme of self-reflection on past lies.

Back away from gravity

Encouraging a break from the forces pulling one down.

We're the apple tree

Reiteration of growth, symbolized by the apple tree.

You can hide in disguise

Contemplating hiding behind a facade.

Would you still wear the mask?

Asking if one would continue wearing a mask.

It's never worth your life

Reemphasizing the value of life over superficial concerns.

Don't waste it all

Advice not to squander life.

Now that I'm out of bed

Reflecting on being awake and active.

I'll give you a rundown of my two cents

Sharing a summary of personal insights and opinions.

Who you are just depends on perspectives around you

Highlighting the subjectivity of identity based on perspectives.

So don't take it so seriously

Encouraging a lighthearted approach to life's challenges.

Just live your own damn life

Final advice to live one's life authentically.
