Barely Getting By
Navigating Life's Contradictions: Barely Getting By
Lyrics
A million different people say
A million different people express confusion
I don't understand
They mime unity silently but still endorse a particular brand
As They mime a silent union
Expressing a sense of detachment or lack of understanding
But still promote the brand
Suggesting a contradiction in promoting unity while supporting commercial interests
I'm just barley getting by
Struggling to make ends meet or cope with challenges
What a lovely way
Reflecting on the irony of a pleasant way to waste time
To waste my time
Expressing frustration at the perceived pointlessness of waiting
Waiting on you
Awaiting someone or something
Death to all
Advocating for a decisive stance, opposing indecision
those on the fence
Criticizing those who remain undecided or neutral
The Cries for wolf
False alarms or unfounded alarms won't contribute to sustenance
Won't pay the rent
Suggesting that false alarms won't cover essential expenses
I dropped the act
Abandoning pretense that once gained approval
That lapped you up
Despite abandoning pretense, still feeling inadequate
But I'm still not enough
Despite efforts, not meeting the expected standards
And I'm running out of ways
Experiencing a shortage of options to spend non-existent money
To spend money I don't have
Conveying financial struggles and limited resources
I'm just loving doing nothing
Finding satisfaction in idleness and simplicity
With a pair of open hands
Enjoying a state of contentment with open-handedness
I'm the manikin of justice
Symbolizing a figure representing justice but lacking comprehension
That shouldn't understand
Emphasizing the paradox of a justice figure not understanding
I know many different ways
Being aware of various ways to provoke monotony or the ordinary
That can still provoke the bland
Highlighting the ability to challenge the mundane
It's a never ending lie
Describing a perpetual falsehood or deception
What a lovely day
Commenting on the irony of a beautiful day spent indoors
To stay inside
Suggesting a preference for staying inside despite favorable weather
Waiting on you
Reiterating the sense of waiting for something or someone
I'm just barley getting by
Reiterating the struggle of barely managing to survive
What a lovely way
Reflecting on the irony of a delightful way to waste time
To waste my time
Expressing frustration at the perceived pointlessness of waiting
Waiting on you
Reiterating the sense of waiting for something or someone
