Pace Slip
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: A Symphony of Pay Slips and Temptations
Lyrics
Divide down the pennies on my payslip
Calculating and dividing the small amount of money on the paycheck.
To plan how I could get wasted
Thinking about ways to spend money on indulgences or parties.
Spent my time feeling vacant
Feeling empty or lacking purpose in life.
I've been feeling complacent
Being content with the current situation but lacking motivation for change.
The colour drains from my face
Experiencing a loss of vitality or life force, possibly due to stress or dissatisfaction.
With my morals they're sat adjacent
My ethical beliefs are alongside, possibly conflicting with my actions.
I struggle to get by
Struggling to make ends meet or survive financially.
Without giving in to temptation
Resisting the urge to give in to temptations despite difficulties.
Because I'm
Transition to the next line.
Living life payment by payment
Living life with financial concerns, dealing with expenses as they come.
I wish i was mistaken
Desiring that the current situation is not true.
Living life, payment by payment
Reiteration of living life focused on financial earnings and expenses.
I wish i was mistaken
Repeated wish for the situation to be different.
I've got Freddy on my left
Mentions a person named Freddy on the left side, possibly a reference to a friend or influence.
To the right well its Jason
Mentions Jason on the right side, possibly another friend or influence.
Caught in the middle of my mind
Feeling caught or stuck between conflicting thoughts or influences.
With nothing left to tame them
Unable to control or manage these conflicting influences.
I've been lost for words
Experiencing difficulty in finding the right words or expressing oneself.
And my thoughts I can't place them
Unable to organize thoughts or understand them properly.
I've got so many bad routines that I know I could do with replacing
Aware of having unhealthy habits that need to be replaced or changed.
But I'm, living life payment by payment
Reiteration of the struggle of living life focused on financial matters.
I wish i was mistaken
Expressing a wish or desire that the situation was different.
Living life payment by payment
Repeating the sentiment of living life centered around payments with a wish for change.
I wish i was mistaken
Repeated wish or desire for the situation to be different.
I'm skint again
Being financially broke or out of money again.
But I'm feeling mint again
Despite being financially strained, feeling good or refreshed again.
My eyes look low with that tint again
Physical appearance indicates a return to a familiar state despite financial stress.
My low bank balance took a dint again
Seeing a decrease or dent in the bank balance again.
