Lyrics
I'm so distant and I'm so cold
Feeling emotionally distant and cold.
I've lived too long and I'm too old
Expressing a sense of having lived a long life and being too old.
I've tried so many different ways
Attempted various approaches or lifestyles.
I've watched each one of them decay
Observed the decline or deterioration of each attempted approach.
I can't expound before the ages
Unable to articulate thoughts effectively across different time periods.
While we are leafing through the pages
Engaging with historical records or literature.
The office blocks from which we march
Referring to corporate buildings where people work.
The mirrored shades shades of the patriarch
Reflecting on the authoritative figures represented by mirrored shades.
Caught by streams of constant motion
Being carried along by the continuous flow of time.
Most of the workers had no notion
Many workers unaware of the bigger picture or purpose.
Sitting glued to computer screens
Depicting a scene of people absorbed in computer work.
Fingers raised - " must finish the scene"
Indicating a sense of urgency to complete a task.
Lounge lizards in penthouse flats
Describing individuals in luxurious apartments, potentially detached from reality.
May soon find out where it's at
Suggesting that those in privileged positions may soon face reality.
They gnaw away our hard earned pay
Highlighting the exploitation of hard-earned wages.
We walk the treadmill every day
Metaphorically walking through the monotonous routine of life.
I'm so distant and I'm so cold
Reiterating a feeling of emotional distance and coldness.
I've lived too long and I'm too old
Re-emphasizing the sentiment of having lived too long and being too old.
I've tried so many different ways
Reiterating the attempt at various approaches or lifestyles.
I've watched each one of them decay
Repeating the observation of the decline or deterioration of those approaches.
I can't expound before the ages
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing thoughts across different time periods.
While we are leafing through the pages
Repeating the engagement with historical records or literature.
The office block from which we march
Referring again to corporate buildings where people work.
The mirrored shades of the Patriarch
Reiterating the reflection on authoritative figures represented by mirrored shades.
