Gone To Rest
Navigating Life's Twilight: Ghost World's 'Gone To Rest' Reflections
Lyrics
2 am and my good sense has gone to rest
It's 2 am, and my rationality or good judgment has temporarily ceased.
Now I'm stuck in this naive glow
I'm currently trapped or stuck in an innocent or inexperienced state of mind.
Thinking, god I hope those pictures were tasteful
I hope that certain photographs I've seen were in good taste.
Now I'm sitting on all these empty invitations
I'm sitting with unaccepted offers or unused invites.
Trying to find where all these like-minded people are
I'm attempting to locate individuals who think similarly to me.
But when I get there, they're all pastel color bound
Upon finding such people, they conform to conventional or unoriginal standards.
And really reaching for some discourse over the end of the last criterion
They're earnestly seeking a conversation about the conclusion of the last standard or norm.
I guess it's fine
Acceptance or resignation towards the situation.
She calls me up and says I like your joie de vivre
Someone compliments my zest for life (joy of living).
But then just cheapens it with alcohol and it loses all its meaning
However, the admiration loses value when diluted with alcohol.
But everyone went a million miles an hour
Others are moving very fast in their lives while I'm still pondering insignificant matters.
And I'm still trying to figure out what the stars have to do with the way I cut my fucking hair
Trying to understand a connection between celestial bodies and personal grooming.
Yeah I'm doing just fine
Expressing a facade of being okay despite difficulties.
With the slums and the losers
Content with the less privileged or those considered failures.
I'd take it all back
Expressing regret for one's actions to regain self-respect.
Just to respect myself again
A desire to restore self-worth and dignity.
Yeah I'm doing just fine
Repeating the sentiment of being seemingly okay with those less fortunate.
With the slums and the losers
Content with the less privileged or those considered failures (reiteration).
I'd take it all back
Expressing regret for one's actions to regain self-respect (reiteration).
Just to respect myself again
A desire to restore self-worth and dignity (reiteration).
And I thought I'd make it to the next one
Expectation of moving forward, but circumstances hinder progress.
But there's still drinks across your table
Despite expectations, there are still distractions or temptations present.
I'm so sick of self-esteem versus validation
Tired of the conflict between self-confidence and seeking approval from others.
And their faiths in moderation
Displeasure towards the emphasis on moderation in beliefs.
Well it's barely past eleven, I guess you'd say we're doing alright
It's not very late yet; therefore, things seem to be acceptable for now.
I guess we're doing alright
Acceptance of the current state or circumstances.
We don't need your blessing we're alright
Asserting independence and not seeking validation from others.
That's all I want we're alright
A desire for acceptance and contentment without external approval.
