Lyrics

I had an existential crisis

I experienced a deep questioning of my existence.

Reading Kafka on the couch

I read Franz Kafka's works while on the couch.

Until the edible kicked in

After consuming an edible substance (likely cannabis), its effects started.

Then I forgot what it was all about

The intoxication made me forget the purpose or meaning of everything.

I find comfort in the silence

I find solace and peace in moments of quietness.

And in the flicker of my phone

The subtle light from my phone screen provides comfort.

Until the battery runs dead

Until my phone battery dies, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

And it leaves me with my thoughts alone

During my youth, I had a belief in magical or extraordinary things.

When I was younger

Now, I navigate through the chaos and disturbances of life.

I believed in magic

I have difficulty recalling how my current state of being occurred.

But now I stumble

I have transformed into a predictable and routine-driven individual.

Through all the noise and static

Repetition of being a creature of habit.

I can't remember

Suggesting a need for self-care or healthier habits.

Quite how it happened

Possibly indicating a desire for vitality and renewal.

Now I've become this

The speaker reflects on their changed nature, now stuck in routine.

Creature of habit

Reiteration of being a creature of habit.

Creature of habit

Emphasizing the entrenched nature of habitual behavior.

Maybe I should drink more water

Suggesting a need for healthier lifestyle choices.

Maybe I should get more sun

Considering the possibility of needing more exposure to sunlight.

Maybe I'm dormant for the winter

Metaphorically dormant, waiting for a metaphorical spring or renewal.

Waiting for spring to come

The speaker may not have a belief in God, but acknowledges the possibility.

And I may not believe in God

Expressing a hopeful uncertainty about the existence of God.

But that doesn't mean he isn't real

Admitting uncertainty doesn't change personal feelings or emotions.

Though I hope I might be wrong

Reflecting on the speaker's emotional state despite uncertainty about God.

It doesn't change the way I feel

Repetition of being a creature of habit, highlighting a sense of stuckness.

When I was younger

Reiteration of the speaker's belief in magic during youth.

I believed in magic

Continued struggle amidst the chaos and distractions of life.

But now I stumble

Difficulty recalling the process of becoming a creature of habit.

Through all the noise and static

The speaker reflects on their current state of habitual behavior.

I can't remember

Suggesting a lack of clarity or understanding about the transformation.

Quite how it happened

Repetition of being a creature of habit.

Now I've become this

Reaffirming the speaker's entrenched routine and predictable nature.

Creature of habit

Final repetition of being a creature of habit.

This creature of habit

Reiteration of the speaker's recognition of their habitual tendencies.
