Navigating Modern Turbulence: Josef Salvat's Reflections
Lyrics
Last night I was handsome, drunk and young
Last night, I felt attractive, intoxicated, and youthful.
Today I don't know who I'm tryna be
Today, I'm unsure of my identity and who I should strive to become.
Last night I was easy, free and fun
Last night, I was carefree, unrestricted, and enjoying myself.
Today I got that heavy back in me
Today, I feel burdened by something heavy within me.
The air is slow and fat, you can cut the heat
The atmosphere feels thick and sluggish, indicating oppressive heat.
Smell a city's worth of bodies, filling up the streets
A sense of overcrowdedness or congestion, with many people around.
So I just draw the curtains and make my retreat
Retreating from the outside world by closing the curtains.
Put the fan on, hide my headphones and then scroll myself to sleep
Seeking solace by using a fan, hiding in music, and distracting oneself until sleep.
I think they call this modern anxiety
Referring to the feeling of stress and unease prevalent in modern times.
This modern life is getting the best of me
Expressing the challenges of contemporary life affecting one's well-being negatively.
Last night I was all wrapped up in you
Reflecting on a past intimate connection.
Today I don't know where I'm supposed to be
Presently feeling lost or directionless.
Last night I got served a different view
Having experienced a change in perspective from the past.
Today it's a bit difficult to breathe
Feeling suffocated or struggling to breathe in the current situation.
'Cause people let you down in the Spring time
Expressing disappointment caused by people during a hopeful period (Spring).
The Spring clean, 'cause who knows what Summer's gonna find
Anticipating uncertainty in the future (Summer).
You really let me down in the Spring time
Feeling let down by someone during a hopeful season (Spring).
Now you're on my favorite bridge and I just have to keep riding by
Seeing a reminder of the letdown while passing a significant location.
I think they call this modern anxiety
Reiterating the theme of stress and unease in modern times.
This modern life is getting the best of me
Reemphasizing the impact of modern life on one's mental state.
I think they call this modern anxiety
Repeating the notion of contemporary anxiety.
This modern life is getting the best of me
Restating how modern life affects the individual negatively.
(The best of me)
Emphasizing the toll it takes on the person.
(I just have to keep riding by)
Continuously passing by the reminder or trigger of the disappointment.
I think they call this modern anxiety (I just have to keep riding by)
Reiterating the concept of modern anxiety and its impact.
This modern life is getting the best of me (I just have to keep riding by)
Expressing the overwhelming influence of modern life.
I think they call this modern anxiety (I just have to keep riding by)
Reiterating the feeling of contemporary anxiety.
This modern life is getting the best of me
Reemphasizing the negative effects of modern life.
