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.

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

Reiterating the impact of discontent on perception.

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.


Ahh

An expression, possibly of realization or emphasis.

Wake back up

Reiteration of waking up or becoming aware.


As you compile your dreams just hold them

Repeat of lines 7-9, emphasizing protecting dreams and openness.

Close to your heart but keep it open

Reiterate the importance of balancing protection and openness.

Open your mind to see more complex

Encouragement to broaden perspectives for deeper achievements.

Accomplishments

Emphasizing the value of intricate accomplishments.


I swear

Asserting sanity but admitting difficulty in explaining certain things.

I’m sane

Reaffirmation of mental stability.

But some things I can’t explain

Recognition of unexplainable aspects in life.


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.

Accomplishments

Emphasizing the value of intricate achievements.


When we can’t handle peoples problems

Reiteration of challenges in handling others' problems.

We can’t just step back away from them

Highlight the inadequacy of stepping back from problems.

We’re on an island in an ocean

Restatement of the metaphor of life as an isolated island.

Of consciousness

Emphasizing the vastness of collective consciousness.
