Striving for More: Life's Pursuit of Contentment
Lyrics
Yeah yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
She works all day on her pension
A woman works all day to secure her retirement fund
9 to 5 just way too long
A 9-to-5 job feels excessively long
Moving in the right direction
Making progress in life
But she always seem so far
Despite progress, the goal still seems distant
She thought by now she would be fancy
Expectation of a more luxurious lifestyle
Double cc's on her waist
Desire for high-end fashion items
But the promises were empty and the compliments feel fake
Disappointment in unfulfilled promises and insincere compliments
Oh its hard to get enough
Expressing the difficulty of satisfying needs
She tries he tries we try to get by get by get by
Joint effort to overcome challenges
He's so tired from the night shift
Fatigue from working night shifts
But he needs the overtime
Working extra hours for financial reasons
Eyes are closed cooking breakfast
Multitasking, preparing breakfast with eyes closed
Right back out the door in 5
Quickly returning to work after a short break
He thought by now he'd be racked up
Expectation of financial success by this point
Racked up racked up
Reiteration of the desire for success
LouisV and greener pastures,
Desire for luxury brands and better opportunities
Doesn't even really matter
Recognition that these desires may not matter in the end
Cause its hard to get enough
Continuing struggle to fulfill needs
She tries he tries we try to get by get by get by
I know its hard to get enough
Reiteration of the difficulty in satisfying needs
She tries he tries we try to get by get by get by
Golden and shiny thangs
Material possessions don't bring happiness
Don't make a brighter day
Hope for a better future
Onto a higher place
Belief in reaching a higher state
I know we'll find a way
Confidence in finding a solution
Oceans and tidal waves
Challenges and difficulties compared to natural forces
Hoping the tides will change
Hope for a positive change
Onto a higher place
Confidence in overcoming challenges
I know we'll find a way
I know, the open road could seem
Acknowledgment of the perceived harshness of life's journey
So cold
Extreme difficulties indicated by zero degrees
Zero degrees
Highlighting the harshness of the journey
At most
Minimizing the harshness with the possibility of warmth
But u could get warm for free
Free alternatives to finding warmth
I know
Confidence in finding solutions
I know, it'll get hard to breathe
Acknowledgment of upcoming challenges
I know, money ain't worth the trees
Money's value questioned in relation to nature
I know, I know, I know...
Repetition of acknowledgment of challenges
I know it's hard to get enough but
Recognition of the ongoing difficulty in satisfying needs
She tries he tries we try to get by get by get by
Joint effort to overcome challenges
I know it's hard to get enough but
Recognition of ongoing challenges
She tries he tries we try to get by get by get by
