Trying to Relax
Embrace What Matters: Mantra Love's Wisdom in 'Trying to Relax'
Lyrics
All these petty things you're searching for
All the insignificant things you are looking for
Won't matter when you're gone from this world
Those things won't have significance after you pass away
So all I say to you
Addressing the listener, offering advice
Is do exactly what you want to do
Encouraging the listener to pursue their desires
There's no use in being used
There's no benefit in being taken advantage of
It's not fair to you
It's unjust to you
Every day waves crash
Every day, the metaphorical waves of life create change
Stirring wet sand in their path
Stirring wet sand symbolizes disturbance and impermanence
Nothing ever sits still long
Nothing remains static for a prolonged period
So why do you
Questioning the listener's resistance to change
Always say that you'll make it a better day
Expressing a desire for a better day
But you never get off your ass
Criticizing the listener for not taking action
You're always trying to relax
Constantly seeking relaxation instead of taking action
I can see
Acknowledging the potential within the listener
There's so much more inside of you
Emphasizing untapped potential
So why don't you do
Encouraging the listener to do what they truly desire
Exactly what it is that you want to
Reiterating the importance of pursuing one's desires
All these petty things you're searching for
Repeating the idea of searching for insignificant things
Won't matter when you're gone from this world
Highlighting the transience of material pursuits
So all I say to you
Repeating advice to do what the listener wants
Is do exactly what you want to do
Encouraging the listener to pursue their desires
There's no use in being used
Reiterating the futility of being exploited
It's not fair to you
Stating that being used is unfair to the listener
