Lyrics

All work and no play

Engaging in constant work without leisure or recreation

All work and no play

Repetition emphasizing the lack of balance between work and play

Makes me a dull boy

The excessive focus on work leads to a lack of liveliness

Makes me feel insane

Intense workload contributes to a sense of losing sanity

Forget who I am

Struggling to remember one's true identity amidst the workload

I'm not with the program

Feeling disconnected from societal expectations or norms

I can't ever keep up

Difficulty in keeping up with the demands and pace of life

I can't seem to play along

Inability to conform or participate in expected behaviors

Realization I'm succumbing to

Realization of submitting to the overwhelming pressure

Days repeating just like déjà vu

Experiencing days that seem repetitive, akin to déjà vu

Start to think that I'm not missing screws

Doubting mental stability, questioning if essential components are missing

I can't pick which life I wanna' choose

Struggling to make choices about the direction of one's life

I could be more optimistic

Considering a more positive outlook, but facing challenges

Act like life is just terrific

Choosing to act as if life is fantastic despite internal struggles

I could simply play the game

Contemplating engaging more fully in life's challenges

Act like somethings there to gain

Pretending that there is something to be gained from life's experiences

All work and no play

Reiteration of the negative consequences of all work and no play

All work and no play

Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the detrimental work-life balance

Makes me a dull boy

Repeating the idea that excessive work leads to dullness

Makes me feel insane

Expressing the emotional toll of intense work on mental well-being

Forget who I am

Losing a sense of self amid the demands and expectations

I'm not with the program

Feeling out of sync with societal norms or expectations

I can't ever keep up

Struggling to keep pace with the fast-moving demands of life

I can't seem to play along

Difficulty conforming or participating in societal expectations
