Lyrics
Blowing dirt off the footpath
Clearing away the dust or undesirable elements from the path
Leading by example is passed
Setting a positive example has become a thing of the past
Like the rest of it
Referring to life in general or the situation at hand
Ah
An exclamation expressing realization or emphasis
Speeding up but slowing down
Moving faster but simultaneously slowing down, possibly a contradiction or conflict
More
Indicating a desire for more
The less the better
Suggesting that having less is preferable or better
But not I
An assertion that the speaker does not adhere to the principle of "the less, the better"
Broken make up here
Reference to a situation of emotional breakdown or turmoil
The weight on your shoulders isn't mine
Denying responsibility for the burdens or problems of others
Like the rest of it
Similar to line 4, reiterating the commonplace nature of the situation
Ah
Repeating the exclamation for emphasis or reflection
Speeding up but slowing down
Repetition of the conflicting idea of speeding up and slowing down
More
Repetition of the desire for more
The less the better
Reiterating the notion that having less is better
But not I
Reaffirming the speaker's divergence from the idea of "the less, the better"
Like the rest of it
Continuing to emphasize the commonplace nature of the situation
Ah
Repeating the exclamation, possibly indicating ongoing realization or reflection
Speeding up but slowing down
Reiteration of the contradictory concept of speeding up and slowing down
More
Repetition of the desire for more
The less the better
Reaffirming the idea that having less is better
But not I
Final assertion of the speaker's deviation from the principle of "the less, the better"
