Lyrics
Hey the grass is only greener on the other side
Feeling dissatisfied makes distant situations seem better.
When you don’t feel quite right
Discontentment distorts perceptions.
So take a closer look and find the root cause
Examine closely to identify the true cause of apathy.
Of indifference
Apathy is the result of not caring.
As you compile your dreams just hold them
Guard dreams with care but remain open-minded.
Close to your heart but keep it open
Balance between protecting dreams and staying receptive.
Open your mind to see more complex
Expand your mind to comprehend intricate achievements.
Accomplishments
Embrace complex accomplishments.
When we can’t handle peoples problems
We struggle when unable to handle others' issues.
We can’t just step back away from them
Avoiding problems doesn't solve them.
We’re on an island in an ocean
Existence is like being on an isolated island in consciousness.
We navigate an ocean of collective awareness.
Hey the grass is only greener on the other side
Similar to line 1 - dissatisfaction alters perceptions.
When you don’t feel quite right

So take a closer look and find the root cause of indifference
Identify the cause of apathy to regain awareness.
And you’ll wake back up
Acknowledging the potential for awakening after understanding indifference.

I swear

I’m sane
Reaffirmation of mental stability.
But some things I can’t explain

As you compile your dreams just hold them
Repetition of safeguarding dreams and staying open-minded.
Close to your heart but keep it open
Reemphasize the balance between protection and receptivity.
Open your mind to see more complex
Reiterate the call to appreciate complex accomplishments.
