Hammock Boy
Navigating Dreams: Hammock Boy's Quest for Independence
Lyrics
I should be living on my own by now
Expressing the feeling of being behind in personal progress, expected to be independent by now.
Not in my parent's garden annex
Contrast between the ideal of independence and the current situation of still being in a familiar place, possibly with family.
I should be looking for the long way round
Should be seeking challenges and taking a more adventurous path instead of a comfortable one.
Not in the safety of a hammock
Presently in a state of comfort or safety, avoiding risks or challenges.
And no-ones ever gonna ask me
Anticipating that nobody will approach or show interest in them romantically or socially.
For my number or for coffee, no
Not expecting to be approached for contact details or socializing.
I should be looking for a real job
Feeling the need to find a substantial job, emphasizing the desire for a meaningful occupation.
Or maybe I go back and study
Considering the possibility of further education as an alternative path.
Or maybe I could move to New York
Contemplating a major change, such as moving to a different city.
And ride inside a yellow cabby
Imagining the experience of living in a bustling city like New York, a symbol of opportunity and excitement.
And maybe there someone will ask me
Expectation that in a new environment, someone might express interest in them.
(Maybe there someone will ask me)
Reiterating the hope or expectation of being noticed or approached in a new place.
For my number or for coffee
Continuing the theme of not expecting anyone to show interest in initiating contact or socializing.
(For my number, phone number)
Specifically emphasizing the lack of expectation for sharing contact information.
Yeh in the films it looks so easy
Contrasting the perceived ease of life depicted in movies with the difficulties experienced in reality.
(In the films it looks so easy)
Reinforcing the contrast between cinematic portrayal and the complexities of actual life.
So maybe I should work on TV, oh, yeh
Considering a potential career shift towards television, perhaps influenced by the perceived glamor of the industry.
