Polite
Navigating Life's Etiquette: A Song of Politeness
Lyrics
How have you been sleeping
Reflecting on someone's sleep quality
Do you still leave on a light
Questioning if a light is still left on during sleep
Do you still toss and turn
Inquiring about restlessness while waiting for recognition
Waiting on the world to earn you back
Waiting for acknowledgment or success from the world
'Bout a quarter after nine
Specific time reference, possibly indicating a moment of reflection
Do you still burn the coffee
Asking about coffee-drinking habits and a defiant approach
Then drink it black out of spite
Drinking coffee black as a form of resistance or self-expression
Do you still carry on like no one ever did you wrong
Continuing with life without dwelling on past wrongs
Does it still keep you up at night
Wondering if past events still affect one's peace of mind
Are you still polite
Questioning politeness in solitude
When no one else is listening
Being polite when no one is around to witness
Do you still put the effort in the fight
Asking if effort is still put into personal battles
Playing to the balconies when
Performing for others while facing personal fears
Everybody else is scared of heights
Contrasting with others who avoid challenges
And tossing off your casualties
Disregarding personal losses or setbacks
So you can say you always travel light
Emphasizing a commitment to a lightweight lifestyle
Do you still like your whiskey
Asking about beverage preferences, suggesting maturity
Or have grown up into gin
Indicating a transition from whiskey to gin, possibly growing up
Are you still counting straight to ten
Asking about coping mechanisms when reaching a limit
When you hit the end
Reference to a coping mechanism reaching its end
That I'll have given up the fight
Expressing a willingness to surrender or give up
Are you still polite
Reiterating the question of politeness in solitude
When no one else is listening
Emphasizing politeness when no one is around
Do you still put the effort in all night
Asking about sustained effort throughout the night
Playing to the balconies thought
Performing for others despite their fears
Everybody else is scared of heights
Contrasting with those avoiding challenges due to fear
And tossing off your casualties
Disregarding personal losses or setbacks (repeated theme)
So you can say you always travel light
Reiterating a commitment to a lightweight lifestyle (repeated theme)
