Grass is Greener
Beyond the Green Horizon: A Journey through Life's Ups and Downs
Lyrics
Well I lost my job so they towed my car
Experiencing job loss and car towing
I walked down the boulevard but didn't get far
Walking on the boulevard with limited progress
When a man pulled up, said who could you be?
Encounter with a man questioning identity
Another blind man trying to see
Reference to struggles of understanding
He said hop on in, we'll go for a ride
Invitation for a ride to see the world differently
I'll show you the world from another side
Offering a perspective from another side
I said ok, how far do you go?
Inquiring about the journey's distance
He said, as long as it takes to make you know
Commitment to continue until understanding is achieved
And they say that the grass is always greener
Reflection on the belief that other situations are better
Over on the other side
Expressing skepticism about the grass being greener
But I tell you from my heart that that's a lie
Rejecting the notion, stating universal hardships
Because everybody hurts and everybody cries
Acknowledging collective pain and tears
And everybody tries to reach the skies
Universal aspiration to reach for success
But we all fall down sometimes
Recognition of inevitable failures
Yeh we all fall down sometimes
Reiterating the commonality of falling down
The lamps light up it's getting dark
Transition to a darker setting
We pull up to an old park
Arrival at an old park with remnants of broken dreams
We walked by bottles and broken dreams
Observation of a challenging environment
It looks like a village, and I feel like a king
Feeling a sense of significance despite difficulties
But the sun doesn't shine bright today
Noticing a lack of brightness in life
When everyone, you love turns away
Experience of loved ones turning away
And your whole world fades to gray
Feeling of a fading world
Because when I'm rash, and on my run
Self-perception during impulsive actions
I feel just like I'm Jesus's son
Comparing oneself to a significant figure
And I guess that I just don't know
Uncertainty about one's understanding
And they say that the grass is always greener
Reiteration of skepticism about the grass being greener
Over on the other side
Questioning the belief in better circumstances
But I tell you from my heart that that's a lie
Reaffirmation of rejecting the notion
Because everybody hurts and everybody cries
Restating shared human struggles
And everybody tries to reach the skies
Emphasizing universal efforts to achieve success
But we all fall down sometimes
Reiteration of the inevitability of falling down
Yeh we all fall down sometimes
Reaffirming the common experience of setbacks
Parting words can last forever
Acknowledging the lasting impact of goodbyes
Some wounds may never heal
Recognition that some wounds may never heal
But the pain can be pulled back in a dropper
Describing a method of coping with pain
And you can shoot your sense to feel
Highlighting the numbing effect of substances
Because shooting stars and Xanax bars, they're all fun and games
Caution about the consequences of certain choices
But once this needle enters, things will never be the same
Warning about irreversible changes
And they say that the grass is always greener
Reiteration of skepticism about the grass being greener
Over on the other side
Questioning the validity of better circumstances
But I tell you from my heart that that's a lie
Reaffirming the rejection of the notion
Because everybody hurts and everybody cries
Restating the universality of pain and tears
And everybody tries to reach the skies
Reiterating the shared pursuit of reaching for success
But we all fall down sometimes
Reaffirming the inevitability of falling down
Yeh we all fall down sometimes
Final emphasis on the common experience of setbacks
