Greener
Beyond the Lawn: Unveiling Life's Complex Shades in 'Greener'
Lyrics
I live alone in a house
I reside alone in a house
That was given to me by family
Given to me as inheritance by my family
With a bright yellow outside
The exterior of the house is brightly yellow
And a lawn that's much greener
The lawn of my house is noticeably lusher than my neighbor's lawn
Than my neighbor's
Highlighting the contrast between my lawn and my neighbor's
For all you know, I go swim
Imagining a scenario where others assume things about me
With my two older sisters in the summer
Recalling pleasant memories of spending time with older sisters during summer
Lucky bloke, happy fucker
Expressing jealousy or resentment towards others' assumptions about happiness
You don't know that, and you don't know me either
Pointing out the lack of understanding or knowledge about oneself
What are you waiting for?
Questioning hesitation or delay in taking action
For all we know
Waiting might lead to missed opportunities or closed opportunities
Waiting is a shutting door
Waiting can result in missed chances or opportunities
So move
Encouragement to act or make a move
Three cups of joe in a row
Drinking three cups of coffee consecutively
I was dying now I'm climbing up the walls
From a low point, now experiencing a surge in energy or motivation
Surprise, surprise
An unexpected or ironic situation
I'm a road side dog
Feeling like an outsider or someone overlooked
I'm barely surviving while
Struggling to survive while dealing with challenges
I'm winning prizes left and right
Receiving recognition or rewards frequently
But a monster waits for me at night
Haunted by personal demons or fears at night
I am no happy fucker
Contrasting with the assumption of being content or fortunate
All I know is there's no time to go under
Acknowledging the absence of time to give in to negative emotions
Knocking at the insane door of the mind
Struggling with mental challenges or disturbances
What would you do that for?
Questioning the purpose of engaging with inner turmoil
You know it's not much greener
Realization that the perceived better situation might not be so
Grass is greener on the other side
Referencing the idiom 'The grass is greener on the other side'
You see what you want
Seeing desires but realizing they may not align with reality
But it's something that you're not
Attempting to portray something different from reality
And it's not much greener
Contrasting the perception of a better situation with reality
Not much greener on the other side
Reiteration that the assumed better situation might not actually be better
