Ain't Caught Up Yet
Escaping the Fast Lane: Multibird Monostone's Reflection on Life's Race
Lyrics
It's like the lights never turn stock ticker green
Feeling stagnant, as if progress is halted.
Holed up in my apartment as she tears from the dream
Isolating oneself in an apartment as dreams crumble.
I said one day I'll leave the last place
Expressing a desire to leave a negative place.
If that would make you stay
Willing to stay if it would make the partner stay.
She says babe I'm sorry gotta work on me
Partner acknowledging the need for personal growth.
If you know what I mean
Suggesting a deeper understanding of personal issues.
But I still ain't caught up yet
Struggling to catch up with the pace of life.
With all this fast-paced living and these cheap cigarettes
Frustration with the hectic lifestyle and vices.
And every jump that I take
Questioning decisions and their impact on self.
Is it my own scarred self that I just can't escape
Battling with personal flaws that are hard to overcome.
Ain't caught up yet
Reiterating the struggle to keep up with life.
Karen says hey kid is my salad ready yet
Introducing a character, Karen, and her concerns.
Try to balance out my vibes as I'm strapped with student debt
Struggling to balance life while burdened by student debt.
I said one day I'll win the class race
Expressing a desire for future success in academics.
But for now I say
Temporary compromise with a menial job.
Would you like fries with that shake
Working in a service industry, asking a common question.
She says the world's on fire but it ain't me
Denying responsibility for the chaotic world.
Cause I'm just passing the blame
Acknowledging blame-shifting without personal growth.
But I still ain't caught up yet
Continuing to struggle with life's challenges.
With all this fast-paced living and these cheap cigarettes
Repeating frustration with fast-paced living and vices.
And every jump that I take
Reflecting on decisions and their lasting impact.
Is it my own scarred self that I just can't escape
Battling with persistent personal issues.
Ain't caught up yet
Reiterating the ongoing struggle to catch up.
I said one day I'll leave the last place
Repeating the desire to leave a negative place.
But it's so far away
Expressing the distance and difficulty of leaving.
Said one day I'll win the class race
Reiterating the desire for academic success.
But how can you beat your own brain
Highlighting the challenge of overcoming personal obstacles.
But I still ain't caught up yet
Continued frustration with the pace of life.
With all this fast-paced living and these cheap cigarettes
Repeating dissatisfaction with the lifestyle and vices.
And is it all just a game
Questioning the meaning and purpose of life.
Is it my own scarred self that I just can't escape
Continued struggle with personal issues and decisions.
But I still ain't caught up yet
Reiterating the difficulty of catching up with life.
With all this fast-paced living and these cheap cigarettes
Continued frustration with the fast-paced lifestyle.
And every jump that I take
Reflecting on decisions and their lasting impact.
Is it my own scarred self that I just can't escape
Battling with persistent personal issues.
Ain't caught up yet
Reiterating the ongoing struggle to catch up.
Ain't caught up yet
Emphasizing the continuous struggle to keep up with life.
