Fly in My Room
Chasing Meaning in a Fly's Flight
Lyrics
How many open windows scared me
Reflecting on missed opportunities or chances due to fear
When I could've had fresh air
Regret for not embracing something beneficial or refreshing
How many glasses fully empty
Many instances of feeling unfulfilled or lacking
'Fore I decided not to care
Choosing indifference or apathy towards certain situations
Always the breeze of something bigger
Sensing the presence of something greater but never experiencing it fully
And the taste of something sweet
Experiencing fleeting moments of joy or satisfaction
But never the whole pitcher
Never having enough to create substantial change or motivation
Never enough to move me from the same old seat
A reluctance to move away from a familiar routine or comfort zone
Lately, there's a fly in my room
Recently dealing with an annoyance or persistent issue (the fly)
I never knew they live so long
Surprise at the longevity of the fly's presence
I just assumed an early doom
Expecting a quick resolution but facing ongoing inconvenience
Is just what you get
Accepting negative outcomes as inevitable
Hitting your head again and again
Repetitive frustration or failure
Off every wall in this old tomb
Feeling trapped in a familiar, stagnant environment
Expecting them to move
Anticipating change but encountering stagnation
At any rate, I need some sleep
Desiring rest despite ongoing disturbances
Lately, there's a fly in my room
Reiteration of the persisting annoyance (the fly)
I never knew they live so long
Surprise at the fly's endurance
I just assumed an early doom
Expecting a swift end to the annoyance but facing ongoing persistence
Is just what you get
Resignation to negative outcomes as inevitable
Hitting your head again and again
Repeatedly facing frustration or obstacles
Off every wall in this old tomb
Feeling confined within an unchanging environment
Expecting them to move
Hoping for change but encountering a lack thereof
At any rate, I need some rest
Desiring rest despite ongoing disturbances
Is this a test? I am obsessed
Questioning if the situation is a test or a challenge
Oh, there's a fly above my bed
Observing the presence of the fly directly above
It's in my head singing its song
Feeling mentally preoccupied or bothered by the fly
I think instead I'd like it dead
Wishing for the removal of the nuisance (the fly)
It's just what you get
Accepting negative outcomes as inevitable
Hitting your head again and again
Repeatedly facing frustration or obstacles
We're cut from the same web
Identifying with shared struggles or experiences
I bet a far worse trap's been set
Believing there might be worse situations or traps in existence
No, this ain't over yet
Asserting that the situation isn't concluded or resolved
Not over yet
Emphasizing that the situation persists
It's not over yet
Reiterating the ongoing nature of the situation
