Lyrics

Questions like a candle that's burning at both ends

Feeling uncertain and conflicted, like a candle burning at both ends

Never find an answer that fits in your plans

Unable to find a suitable answer that aligns with one's plans


Back and forth between the good and the bad, it's indecision time

Caught in a state of indecision, oscillating between good and bad choices

You're so natural, you're so free

Describing someone as natural and free

So don't decide what's best for me

Advising not to make decisions on behalf of the speaker


Nothing in your life is ever going on course

Life lacks direction, and nothing is going as planned

You wonder if living can be much worse

Contemplating whether life could be worse


Back and forth between the good and the bad, it's indecision time

Continued struggle between good and bad choices, emphasizing indecision

You're so natural, you're so free

Praising the natural and free qualities of an individual

So don't decide what's best for me

Reiterating the plea not to decide what's best for the speaker


Go to the left, go to the right

Encouraging the act of choosing, but the mind is causing sleepless nights

Your mind is gonna keep you up all night

The mental struggle persists and affects sleep

You twist in your sleep, grabbing the sheets and sweating to death

Illustrating physical manifestations of inner turmoil during sleep


Sucking on pollution like a rattle in your mouth

Metaphorically ingesting negativity and confusion

You're a big fucking kid, you don't know what you're about

Describing someone as immature and uncertain about themselves


Back and forth between the good and the bad, it's indecision time

Repeating the theme of indecision between good and bad

You're so natural, you're so free

Affirming the natural and free nature but rejecting external decisions

You don't decide what's best for me

Emphasizing the speaker's autonomy in decision-making


Tell me about your fellow man

Prompting the listener to share information about fellow humans

You wipe their shit all over your hands

Criticizing blindly accepting and dealing with others' problems


Back and forth between the good and the bad, it's indecision time

Revisiting the theme of indecision, suggesting ongoing internal conflict

You're so natural, you're so free

Reaffirming the natural and free qualities, leaving decisions to the speaker


Go to the left and go to the right

Encouraging choice but acknowledging the mental burden of decision-making

Your mind is gonna keep you up all night

Reiteration of the mental struggle affecting sleep

You twist in your sleep, grabbing the sheets and sweating to death

Describing the physical and emotional toll of inner conflict during sleep
