Lyrics
Everything is always changing even in a world that stays the same
Expresses the constant change in everything, even in a seemingly unchanging world.
Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken, All the lonely people live the game
Describes the impact of heartbreak and loneliness, highlighting the struggles of people in the game of life.
He waits for her, she waits for him, they wait for anyone
Portrays a sense of anticipation and longing as individuals wait for connection with others.
And another day begins
Reflects the cyclical nature of life as each day begins anew.
People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care
Depicts a busy and indifferent world where people rush without taking the time to care for each other.
Us and them and me and you, piling up so much to do
Illustrates the separation between different groups of people and the overwhelming amount of tasks to be done.
All the colors start to fade to gray, an ordinary day is just
Suggests a loss of vibrancy and excitement in life, with colors fading to gray on an ordinary day.
One world away
Emphasizes the distance or separation, as an ordinary day feels like it belongs to a world that is just one step away.
Try to five them what they want, You're stuck inside that same old state of grace
Encourages the listener to strive to meet expectations despite being in a repetitive or stagnant state.
All we are all we seem, a noisy dream inside a quiet place
Questions the authenticity of appearances, portraying life as a noisy dream within a quiet space.
I wait for her, she waits for him, he waits for anyone

And another day begins

People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care

Us and them and me and you, piling up so much to do
