Man or Mouse
Navigating Life's Maze: Embracing the Mouse Within
Lyrics
Yeah yeah yeah....
Expressing excitement or agreement
I hate myself when going
Expressing self-dislike or regret during a particular action or state
yeah, yeah, yeah....
Repetition of excitement or agreement
Hear me, I sound like a Beatle
Comparing oneself to a Beatle, possibly indicating a lack of originality or uniqueness
I get cold feet when the pressure's on
Feeling nervous or hesitant when under pressure
you can't see me, coz I'm lost like a needle
Feeling lost or invisible, like a needle in a haystack
In a haystack yeah I'm almost gone
Expressing a sense of being almost gone or disappearing
Like a mouse follows the flute
Comparing oneself to a mouse following a flute, suggesting a tendency to follow others
Or like a mule who can't dispute I fall in line with you
Comparing oneself to a mule that can't dispute, indicating a submissive or obedient nature
Mouse more than man yes I am
Acknowledging a tendency to be more like a mouse than a man
You know I want to say no and just stick to my own plan
Expressing a desire to say no and follow one's own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Reiterating the inclination to be more like a mouse than a man
Coz yet I go with the flow
Going with the flow despite the desire to resist
See me a a chameleon, a cheap shot
Describing oneself as a chameleon, suggesting adaptability or a tendency to change for others
I change my cast for anybody's best
Changing behavior for the benefit of others
But I'm not free, I feel more like a robot
Feeling restricted or controlled, comparing oneself to a robot programmed to please
That is programmed to please the rest
Being programmed to please others rather than being free
So whatever you want I'll do
Expressing willingness to do whatever others want
Whenever you want me to, I will agree with you
Agreeing with others despite personal desires
Mouse more than man yes I am
Reaffirming the tendency to be more like a mouse than a man
You know I want to say no and just stick to my own plan
Expressing the desire to resist and follow one's own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Reiterating the inclination to be more like a mouse than a man
Coz yet I go with the flow
Continuing to go with the flow despite the internal conflict
Yeah yeah yeah....
Repetition of excitement or agreement
I hate myself when going
Expressing self-dislike or regret during a particular action or state
yeah, yeah, yeah....
Repetition of excitement or agreement
No more sound like a Beatle
No longer sounding like a Beatle, suggesting a change or shift in identity
Those cold feet are for yesterday
No longer experiencing cold feet, indicating overcoming hesitation
No more getting the needle
No longer being influenced or affected by others
I cannot care about what others say
Choosing not to care about others' opinions or judgments
Mouse more than man yes I am
Reaffirming the tendency to be more like a mouse than a man
You know I want to say no and just stick to my own plan
Expressing the desire to resist and follow one's own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Reiterating the inclination to be more like a mouse than a man
Coz yet I go with the flow before the shit hits the fan
Continuing to go with the flow, acknowledging the tendency before facing consequences
yeah yeah yeah yeah....
Repetition of excitement or agreement
this is my last time going
Expressing regret or a sense of finality in a particular action or state
yeah yeah yeah....
Repetition of excitement or agreement
