Lyrics
Is it enough now that we've got it all
Questioning the sufficiency of having everything.
The boho chic or 70's apartment
Referencing aesthetic choices like boho chic or a 70's apartment.
Is it enough now that I'm bossin' up
Feeling empowered and in control.
Not afraid to get dirty, just fear it won't add up
Not afraid to work hard but fearing the efforts may not pay off.
Is it enough now that we got it all
Repeating the question of whether having everything is sufficient.
Perfectly poised yeah, plastic and poison
Describing a poised yet artificial and potentially harmful demeanor.
We tightrope walk on line
Metaphorically tightrope walking on the edge of life's challenges.
All that I want is someone to tell me
Expressing a desire for guidance or reassurance.
It all adds up in the end, but it's not true
Cynically challenging the notion that everything makes sense in the end.
And who are we kidding
Questioning the sincerity of self-deception.
The gatekeepers are grim reapers
Depicting gatekeepers as ominous figures, possibly societal norms.
Wearing headphones in a booth
Immersed in a private world, detached from external influences.
I'd empty my cup so I could see yours full
Willingness to sacrifice and understand others.
But when feelings arise you're sick and I hide
When emotions surface, there's avoidance or discomfort.
It all feels cyclical
Life's experiences seem repetitive or cyclical.
Don't wanna wake up and realize we're dead
Fear of waking up to the realization of a wasted life.
That we dwindled away
Fear of fading away or losing significance.
The breaths that we take on escapism
Using escapism to cope with the challenges of life.
All that I want is someone to tell me
Reiterating the desire for guidance or reassurance.
It all adds up in the end, but it's not true
Repeating the cynical view that things don't add up in the end.
And who are we kidding
Questioning the authenticity of self-deception.
The gatekeepers are grim reapers
Reiterating the ominous nature of societal norms.
Wearing headphones in a booth
Repetition of being isolated in a private world.
Is it enough now that we've spent it all
Questioning the sufficiency of spending everything.
On desperate attempts to be loved by our friends
Desperation for love and acceptance from friends.
And buy some strangers' drinks
Materialistic attempts to connect with strangers.
Is it enough now that we've got it all
Repeating the question of whether having everything is sufficient.
Perfectly poised yeah, plastic and poison
Describing a poised yet artificial and potentially harmful demeanor again.
We tightrope walk on line
Metaphorically tightrope walking, facing challenges with resilience.
Ready and steady resilience in my blood
Having strength and determination, but struggling internally.
But under the surface I'm going under
Beneath the surface, there's a sense of drowning or overwhelming pressure.
Wanna scream at the top of my
Expressing a desire to release inner turmoil through screaming.
Scream at the top of my
Repeating the desire to scream at the top of one's lungs.
Scream at the top of my lungs
Continuation of the expression of inner turmoil and frustration.
My lungs
Repeating the emphasis on the lungs, possibly highlighting emotional depth.
All that I want is someone to tell me
Reiterating the desire for guidance or reassurance.
It all adds up in the end, but it's not true
Repeating the cynical view that things don't add up in the end.
And who are we kidding
Questioning the authenticity of self-deception.
The gatekeepers are grim reapers
Reiterating the ominous nature of societal norms.
Wearing headphones in a booth
Repetition of being isolated in a private world.
Is it enough that we've got it all
Questioning the sufficiency of having everything.</
