Asleep at the Wheel
Navigating Life's Monotony: Asleep at the Wheel
Lyrics
I'm getting tired
I am experiencing fatigue
Maybe I'm just getting older
Possibly, I am aging
Doing the same things
Repeating familiar activities
I have done before
Engaging in actions from the past
On the upside, mentally
However, mentally, there is a positive aspect
I've been clocking out
I've been disengaging or disconnecting
Checked my watch
Checked the time
I'm a little older now
I am now older
Most days smear together in a blurred haze
Most days blend together in a blur
The only new thing is this lower back pain
The only novelty is experiencing lower back pain
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
I've been neglectful or unaware of life's journey
Going 65 as life goes by
Traveling at 65 miles per hour as life passes by
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Too weary to drive
Too exhausted to continue
But I'm here for the ride
Despite exhaustion, I'm present for the experience
My younger years were full of suffering
My earlier years were marked by hardship
But here I am now feelin' nothing
Now, I feel numb or indifferent
I'm getting tired
Experiencing fatigue again
Maybe I'm just getting bored of
Possibly, I am becoming bored with routine
Doing the same things
Repeating familiar activities
I've done before
Engaging in actions from the past
On the upside
On the positive side
I've got more shit than I need
I possess more material things than necessary
But still a little
Still, lacking a bit of happiness
Shy of happy
Feeling somewhat incomplete
Most days smear together in a blurred haze.
Most days blend together in a blur
The only new thing is my friends are getting married
The only new development is friends getting married
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Going 65 as life goes by
Traveling at 65 miles per hour as life passes by
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Too weary to drive
Too exhausted to continue
But I'm here for the ride
Despite exhaustion, I'm present for the experience
When did I become like this?
Reflecting on when I changed into this state
A paragon of emptiness
A model of emptiness
And a drama queen, to boot
An exaggerated performer of emotions
But what are you gonna do?
An acceptance of the situation
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Going 65 as life goes by
Traveling at 65 miles per hour as life passes by
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Too weary to drive
Too exhausted to continue
But I'm here for the ride
Despite exhaustion, I'm present for the experience
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Going 65 as life goes by
Traveling at 65 miles per hour as life passes by
I've been fast asleep at the wheel
Unaware of the passage of time
Too weary to drive
Too exhausted to continue
But I'm here for the ride
Despite exhaustion, I'm present for the experience
