More Complicated
Navigating Life's Complexities: More Complicated by John Lewitt
Lyrics
I was a suburban boy in the 1980's
I had a suburban upbringing during the 1980s.
Living my best life, unencumbered and so carefree
I was enjoying my life to the fullest, without many worries.
The things I didn't know now seem embarrassing
Looking back, I find some of my past ignorance embarrassing.
I guess my innocence was trying to protect me
My innocence at that time was a shield, trying to protect me.
And all the things I took for granted
I didn't appreciate certain things, assuming they would always be there.
Every dream I planned to achieve
I had dreams and plans for my future.
Well, life turned out to be more complicated
Life, however, turned out to be more complex than I anticipated.
Then I ever thought it could be
The reality I faced was more challenging than I had imagined.
Blissful ignorance was my escape
Being unaware of certain realities was my way of escaping from them.
From the reality that stood in my way
There were obstacles in my life that I tried to ignore.
What was there to stop me
I questioned what could have prevented me from pursuing my goals.
What was hidden in plain sight
Some challenges were hidden in plain sight, not immediately noticeable.
If I couldn't imagine it
If I couldn't envision a problem, I didn't consider it a concern.
It was worth the time
I deemed something worthwhile only if I could imagine its significance.
And all the things I took for granted
I failed to appreciate certain aspects of life, assuming their permanence.
Every dream I planned to achieve
My dreams faced unexpected challenges and complexities.
Well, life turned out to be more complicated
Life unfolded in a more intricate way than I had ever anticipated.
Then I ever thought it could be
The challenges in life surpassed my initial expectations of their complexity.
