Lyrics
Your head is heavy on your shoulders
Your head is burdened with responsibility and pressure.
You can cut the corners, play it any way you'd like
You have the flexibility to navigate situations as you please.
There's retribution when you're older
Consequences catch up with you as you age.
You put your money on the other side
You've invested in the opposing option or outcome.
Living in a strange time
We are living in a peculiar era.
Living with a changed mind
Adapting to a transformed mindset.
You did your best, we couldn't punish you for trying
You tried your best, but your efforts can't shield you from criticism.
But in the back, you know they're laughing while you're dying
Despite your efforts, others mock you behind your back during difficulties.
Staring at the microwave
Engaging in mundane activities with a sense of monotony.
Maybe I was born this way
Contemplating if your nature is inherent.
Mama's boy was soaked with praise
A person heavily praised by their mother.
Throw yourself your own parade
Celebrate yourself without waiting for others.
Doc says none's wrong, gotta mop it up
A medical professional finds no physical ailment, only a psychological burden.
You know it's all in the head (all in the head)
Issues are mental rather than tangible.
While you're on, hide out from the only thing that ever got you out of the bed
Avoiding the only thing that used to motivate you.
That sound got away in the panic, now you're running through the shadow of doubt
Missing an opportunity in the chaos, now navigating through uncertainty.
And pulling out with the only lighted ember
Emerging with the only remaining flicker of hope.
They always said that I'd land on my feet
Expected to land on your feet, but experiencing unexpected setbacks.
They didn't mention that I'd shatter both my legs
Success comes with unforeseen challenges.
What finally put you in the big boy seat?
Questioning what propelled you to a position of power.
We're taking bets, was it the money or the sex?
Speculating on the factors behind your success, involving money or relationships.
Living in a strange time (yeah, you said that already)
Reiteration of living in an unusual era.
Breaking in a changed mind
Adjusting to a transformed mindset continues.
You used to say it's getting better every day
Past optimism about improvement contrasts with the current reality.
We liked you comatose and sober anyway
Preference for your subdued and clear-headed state over the alternative.
