Lyrics
Ever look at their faces
Reflecting on observing other people's expressions
Wonder if they really made it
Questioning whether those observed individuals have achieved success
Got a pair of hollywood eyes
Reference to possessing eyes associated with glamour and fame
I'm no better as a stranger
Comparing oneself unfavorably to strangers
Fade into the wallpaper
Feeling unnoticed or insignificant, blending into the background
Had about enough of my mind
Experiencing mental fatigue or exhaustion
But half the world's asleep, so I'm gonna stop caring
Deciding to stop worrying because many people are asleep
Half the world's awake and nobody's staring
Observation that despite being awake, people aren't paying attention
I think it's only human to have our reasons
Suggesting the normalcy of having justifiable motives
But I'd throw them all away just to keep this feeling
Willingness to relinquish all reasons for maintaining a particular emotion
There's a sculpture in Chicago
Mentioning an art piece in Chicago as a reference point
Glass towers on the water
Describing prominent buildings made of glass by the water
Residents up close on a screen
Noting the residents shown on a screen in proximity to the towers
Feel alone when I'm surrounded
Feeling isolated despite being surrounded by others
Grown adults in the fountain
Observing mature individuals engaging in carefree behavior in a fountain
Dancing cause they know that they're free
Recognizing their joyous freedom through dancing
But half the world's asleep so I'm gonna stop caring
Reiterating the decision to stop caring due to widespread unawareness
Half the world's awake and nobody's staring
Noting the lack of attention from people despite being awake
I think it's only human to have our reasons
Emphasizing the commonality of having valid motives
But I'd throw them all away just to keep this feeling
Expressing a willingness to discard all motives for the sake of preserving a feeling
When I was not a person waiting
Reflecting on a time when there was no personal anticipation or eagerness
Waiting just for something, anything, now
Feeling discontent and yearning for something, anything
I was done participating
Choosing not to participate actively anymore
Throw the paint, the pavement's gonna give out
Metaphorically implying creating a mess or disruption
Just sky and ground
Describing the simplicity of the sky and ground in contrast to chaos
This golden hour
Noting a time of particular atmospheric lighting
There's no way around it, no
Asserting there's no avoiding a situation or feeling
Half the world's awake
Reiterating the divide between awake and asleep individuals
Half the world's asleep
Repeating the observation of the world's split state
I think it's only human
Acknowledging the human nature of having motives or justifications
But I'd throw them all away just to keep this feeling
Willingness to sacrifice all motives for maintaining a particular feeling
