Lyrics
Don't want to rise
Expressing a reluctance to start the day or face challenges.
Before the sun will climb
Waiting for the sun to rise before starting the day.
And alight my weary eyes
Describing tired or fatigued eyes.
Can I get older in an unmoving time?
Questioning personal growth in a stagnant or unchanging period.
Every what if fills my mind
Ambivalence and contemplation about various possibilities.
But I push aside these questions
Choosing to ignore or avoid deep questions.
Go about my day
Engaging in daily activities despite inner contemplation.
Just to find my bed again and do the same
Repeating a cycle of daily routine without significant change.
Wash
Symbolic action of cleansing or starting anew.
Rinse
Repetition of cleansing, emphasizing routine.
Repeat
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the daily cycle.
Hit my sins with bleach
Symbolic use of bleach to cleanse or purify mistakes or sins.
Try to practice what I preach
Striving to follow one's own advice or principles.
As I fill the time
Filling time without a clear purpose or direction.
And pretend to sleep
Pretending to sleep, possibly to escape reality temporarily.
So I can rise
Preparing to face the day after a symbolic sleep.
Rise
Reiteration of the desire to rise or overcome challenges.
And
Connecting the desire to rise with the repetitive cycle.
Wash
Symbolic act of cleansing, repeating the routine.
Rinse
Reiteration of the repetitive nature of daily actions.
Repeat
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of the routine.
Seasons change
Noting the passage of time and the inevitability of change.
I stay the same
Personal stagnation despite external changes.
But shift the chairs and tables
Symbolic rearrangement of external elements while internal aspects remain unchanged.
And pretend everything's rearranged
Acknowledging a facade of change or improvement.
But it's all a daze
Feeling disconnected or disoriented, possibly due to routine.
As I talk and listen
Balancing communication—both speaking and listening.
Do my best to sit pretty
Striving to maintain an outward appearance.
Present and mind the picket fences
Focusing on societal norms or expectations.
So I can
Preparing for the next cycle of routine and cleansing.
Wash
Repeating the symbolic act of cleansing or starting anew.
Rinse
Repetition of cleansing, reinforcing the routine.
Repeat
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of daily actions.
Hit my sins with bleach
Symbolic use of bleach to cleanse or purify mistakes or sins.
Try to practice what I preach
Striving to follow one's own advice or principles.
As I fill the time
Filling time without a clear purpose or direction.
And pretend to sleep
Pretending to sleep, possibly to escape reality temporarily.
So I can rise
Preparing to face the day after a symbolic sleep.
Rise
Reiteration of the desire to rise or overcome challenges.
And
Connecting the desire to rise with the repetitive cycle.
Wash
Symbolic act of cleansing, repeating the routine.
Rinse
Reiteration of the repetitive nature of daily actions.
Repeat
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of the routine.
