Lyrics

What if I accomplish nothing?

Contemplating the possibility of achieving nothing in life.

Would that really be so bad?

Questioning whether accomplishing nothing would be a negative outcome.

What if I make enough to live until I die

Considering a life with just enough to sustain oneself without leaving a significant impact.

cnd leave no mark behind

Expressing the idea of not leaving a lasting legacy or mark on the world.

What's really wrong

Raising the question of what is fundamentally wrong with such a modest existence.

With that?

Challenging the perceived negativity associated with accomplishing nothing significant.

Why am I any different from your average bird

Comparing oneself to common living entities like birds, bacteria, or ferns.

Bacterium or hanging fern

Highlighting the universality of life and its cycles.

That takes a turn alive on earth

Reflecting on the shared experience of being alive on Earth and the eventual return to the earth.

Then feeds the worms

Emphasizing the inevitability of mortality and the cycle of life.

I'm guaranteed that one thing

Acknowledging the certainty of death as a universal experience.

So what if I accomplish nothing

Revisiting the idea of accomplishing nothing with a sense of acceptance.


cny long term goals feel silly

Good luck to you, and cheers

Nobody's got that range

Asserting the rarity of individuals possessing the ability to plan for an extensive future.

It feels kinda sci-fi, but it won't be long

Speculating on the futuristic nature of long-term goals, despite their current feasibility.

Til cI writes a better song

Expressing confidence in surpassing one's own achievements with time.

Than I'd happen upon on my own

Highlighting the potential for unexpected discoveries or accomplishments.

cnd I'm not sad or angry, really

Clarifying a lack of negative emotions despite questioning long-term goals.

But any long term goals feel silly

Reiterating the perceived silliness of having long-term goals.
