Black Coffee Sunset
Embracing Freedom: Black Coffee Sunset's Unconventional Wisdom
Lyrics
I've never been there
I have not experienced that place or situation before.
I've never done that
I have not participated in that activity previously.
I haven't walked as far or long as you have
I haven't traveled as extensively or for as long as you have.
Maybe one day my lungs will thank me
Perhaps in the future, my respiratory system will appreciate my choices.
Maybe either way they'll just turn black
Regardless, there's a possibility that my lungs will suffer and turn black.
But if I have no expectations, I cannot be disappointed
By having no specific hopes, I shield myself from potential disappointment.
And if I have no aspirations, I can't fail
By lacking ambitious goals, I eliminate the possibility of failure.
So I'll unionize my workplace, yeah
I will organize and advocate for my rights in the workplace.
I'll unionize my bedroom
I will bring organization and order to my personal life, particularly in my bedroom.
I will unionize my cell phone and my head
I intend to bring structure and control to my communication devices and thoughts.
I've never felt too certain just what lies behind the curtain
I haven't been certain about what is hidden or unknown.
And my hands they start the shake as my heart begins to race
Feeling anxious and nervous as uncertainty unfolds.
But I'll get by with red eyes, drinking coffee as black as the sea
Despite challenges, I will cope with tired and bloodshot eyes, drinking intensely dark coffee.
Even if it makes no difference when I'm gone, I'll be free
Even if my actions don't impact others after I'm gone, I will feel liberated.
I took the time I had for granted, not once making up my mind
I didn't appreciate the time I had, often indecisive.
But is that really what's important, or had the word been redefined?
Questioning whether conventional definitions still apply to what is truly important.
So I'll take these cheap wine headaches straight from the bottle
Experiencing the consequences of excess, perhaps related to alcohol.
Watch my wounds start to congeal
Observing wounds beginning to heal, both physical and emotional.
Watch my bloody blisters begin to heal
Seeing progress in recovering from past hurts.
It's all still touch-and-go, this cross-your-fingers situation
Life remains uncertain, and luck plays a role in my situation.
And this beehive in my head keeps on buzzing
Mental turmoil persists, represented as a beehive of thoughts.
But I'll get by drinking red wine, chasing coffee as black as the sea
Despite challenges, I'll cope by enjoying red wine and intense coffee.
Even if it makes no difference when I'm gone, I'll be free
Even if my actions don't make a difference in the end, I will experience a sense of freedom.
