Stupid World
Navigating Life's Absurdity: Stupid World's Meaning
Lyrics
You sit out in the street
You observe the world from a public space
staring up at the sky
Gazing at the sky, possibly contemplating
People hurry on
People move quickly without questioning
but they never ask why
There's a lack of curiosity in their actions
You took it so far and held out for so long
You endured a challenging journey for a long time
Now its a tough way back
Returning is difficult, set to a melancholic song
on a minor chord song
A reference to facing challenges in life
Bird on a wire will sing a tune for you
A metaphorical bird on a wire sings for you
Its such a hard luck beat
A tough, unlucky situation
It's a Catch 22
A situation with no easy solution
Cause you're the one who broke free and made it out of this town
You broke free from the town but face challenges
But now you're out on your own with your King Midas crown
Now alone, wearing a metaphorical King Midas crown
It's a stupid world seen from these eyes
The world seems foolish from your perspective
From the banker's mind to a beggar's sky
From rich to poor, the world appears nonsensical
It's a stupid world that's bound to fall
The world is destined to collapse or fail
From a woman's heart to the last curtain call
From love to the end of performances
Now you walk round the place just like you own it all
You act confidently as if you own everything
Cul-de-sac streets and the urban sprawl
In a suburban setting, feeling in control
Your mind is at ease seen that you've come this far
Your mind is at peace having come this far
Past the church steeples and down the boulevards
Reflecting on the journey through streets and boulevards
The seasons they shift and put a nail to the heart
Seasonal changes affect emotions deeply
You remember so well all the pieces and the parts
Memories of past experiences are vivid
So now you're knocking down the doors
You're assertive, confronting challenges and lights
and staring down the lights
Awaiting someone in the calm night
Still waiting for her in the pale blue night
(Blank line, no specific meaning inferred)
It's a stupid world seen from these eyes
The world appears foolish through your eyes
From the banker's mind to a beggar's sky
Nonsensical from the perspective of a banker to a beggar
It's a stupid world from way up there
The world is foolish from a higher perspective
In the ivory towers full of hot air
In the lofty towers filled with empty talk
It's a stupid world seen from these eyes
(Reiteration of the chorus)
From the banker's big mouth to a beggar's sky
(Similar to line 32)
Its a stupid world thats bound to fall
The world is destined to collapse, echoing earlier lines
From a woman's heart to the last curtain call
(Similar to line 18, emphasizing the end)
Stupid world
The world is labeled as foolish or senseless
