Engine
Navigating Life's Fast Lane: Reflections on Purpose and Persistence
Lyrics
Hold on for a minute and take
Encouragement to pause and reflect momentarily
A look around to see what's the state
Evaluate the current condition or situation
Of things you do to keep yourself going
Assess the actions taken to sustain oneself
And the way that you do them
Examine the manner in which tasks are performed
It seems to me you need to slow down
Suggestion to decrease speed and take a break
Take your time and check what you've found
Advise to carefully review one's discoveries
The stuff that you picked up on your way
Consider the items acquired during the journey
Now how do you use it
Question on the utilization of acquired possessions
I know, I know that's what it's all about now
Acknowledgment of the essence of the current situation
As the digits on the meter spin on
Observation of the ongoing progression, possibly in life
Dragging tired thoughts along
Expression of dragging weariness in thoughts
It all makes perfect sense to you
Assertion that the current actions are logical to the individual
There's no doubt about it
Confidence in the understanding of the situation
But as soon as the engine stops
Recognition of a moment when the routine stops
And all that bitter taste comes up:
Reflection on the consequences and discomfort after stopping
Is it worth it to push yourself further?
Questioning the value of pushing oneself further
Or should you just drop it
Consideration of whether to continue or abandon the effort
You're not giving up, you've made it through this before
Affirmation of persistence despite challenges
I can see you doing it years from now and loving it more
Projection of future success and enjoyment based on past experiences
There's obstacles in your way, but I know you got your PMA
Acknowledgment of obstacles with confidence in maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)
