Lyrics
Everything's gotten so complicated
Everything has become overly complex.
Now you're older now you're jaded
As you've aged, you've become cynical and disillusioned.
You despise what you used to love
You have developed a strong dislike for what used to bring you joy.
Cursing everything under the sky above
You express frustration and anger towards everything around you.
When you think back does it ever make you cry?
Reflecting on the past, and wondering if it brings you to tears.
Like it does me with the tears all in my eyes
Comparing personal emotional reactions to past experiences.
Crying, driving in my car
Emotionally affected, driving and contemplating life.
Looking back on my life so far
Reviewing and contemplating one's life journey from a distance.
All the things that you believe in
Discovering that many beliefs were actually falsehoods.
Lies all lies they've been deceiving you
Realizing that there have been consistent deceptions.
Deceiving me, deceiving you
Highlighting the shared experience of being deceived.
When we were young we were told so many times
Recalling the advice given during youth about preparing for the future.
Prepare for your future cause it won't be easy
Emphasizing the difficulty of the future that was warned about.
They never did tell us to enjoy life, here it is
Not being advised to enjoy life, only to realize it later.
Because before you know it life has passed you by
Expressing the swiftness with which life passes.
All the things. . .
Continuation of the realization of deception and false beliefs.
All the time you have invested
Reflecting on the time and effort invested in various pursuits.
Wasted time not to be trusted
Regret over wasted time that cannot be relied upon.
Washed away from you away from me
Describing the erosion of experiences and connections.
They've been deceiving, you deceiving me
Reiteration of the theme of mutual deception.
