Gears
Defying Conformity: Unveiling the Deeper Layers of 'Gears'
Lyrics
We like to decide what everything means
We enjoy defining the meaning of everything.
Put things into place and people into teams
We organize things and categorize people into groups.
We like it when we have a path to follow
We prefer having a clear path to follow.
Daily chores and pills to swallow
Everyday tasks and challenges are part of life.
Don't want to be just another gear
Expressing a desire not to be just a small, unnoticed part of a system.
I take off my parachute this is my year
The speaker is ready for a significant change or opportunity.
Take this leap of faith with me
Encouraging others to take a bold step with the speaker.
If you don't, don't wait for me
If someone hesitates, the speaker suggests not waiting for them.
I'll be long gone and proving people wrong
The speaker plans to move forward and prove doubters wrong.
Reaching up for something higher
Striving for something higher or more meaningful.
Create a spark and start a fire
Encouraging the initiation of change or inspiration.
Close your eyes only if you dare
Inviting others to envision possibilities with courage.
Tell me what you see and let's go there
Encouraging self-reflection and sharing visions.
Don't want to be just another gear
Reiterating the desire not to be a mere cog in the system.
I take off my parachute this is my year
Emphasizing the personal commitment to change.
Take this leap of faith with me
Asking others to take a leap of faith together.
If you don't, don't wait for me
Expressing readiness to move forward without hesitation.
I'll be long gone and proving people wrong
Commitment to proving critics wrong after moving on.
Don't want to be just another gear
Repeating the desire not to be a small, insignificant part.
Nothing holds you back except your fear
Fear is the only hindrance to progress.
There's something better so I hope
Hopeful anticipation of something better.
Look here through my telescope
Suggesting a different perspective through a metaphorical telescope.
We'll be long gone and proving people wrong
Commitment to proving skeptics wrong after advancing.
Cause I've been dreaming
The speaker has aspirations and dreams.
I write it all down
Recording thoughts and dreams in writing.
Looking for a meaning
Seeking significance or purpose in life.
And then I fall down
Experiencing setbacks or failures in the pursuit of meaning.
I'm tripping on doubt
Struggling with self-doubt.
But it's put there by me
Self-imposed obstacles or doubts.
They say that life's about
Life is about shaping one's identity.
Creating who you're going to be
The process of becoming who you want to be.
And I don't want to be just another gear
Reiterating the desire not to be a small, unnoticed part.
This is my ship I'm 'gonna steer
Asserting control and ownership over one's journey.
There's something better so I hope
Hopeful anticipation of something better.
Look here through my telescope
Suggesting a different perspective through a metaphorical telescope.
We'll be long gone and proving people wrong
Commitment to proving doubters wrong after progressing.
And proving people wrong
Reiteration of the commitment to proving critics wrong.
And proving people wrong
