Lyrics
I've got respect from the community,
I've gained respect from the community.
I've got my bridge game to look forward to,
I have my bridge game to anticipate.
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity,
I have a golden opportunity that depends on my actions.
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to.
As long as I fulfill my responsibilities, the opportunity remains.
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me,
My wife and kids rely on me for the best.
To provide them with nothing but the best,
I feel obligated to provide the best for them.
I feel it's my duty, my obligation,
It's my duty to live up to societal standards.
To live up to the standards society suggests.
Adherence to society's expectations is crucial.
I'll keep on working for their benefit,
I'll continue working for their benefit.
And I'll keep on drinking,
I'll continue drinking despite challenges.
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.
I'll maintain belief in my life.
Another day of slaving and smiling, buying and trading,
A day of routine tasks, consumerism, and wealth.
Living the life of a wealthy man,
Living a wealthy life but feeling emptiness inside.
But somehow I don't feel so rich inside.
Despite wealth, an internal void persists.
But that doesn't make sense,
Expressing confusion about this feeling.
I just had this little vacation,
Had a recent break but still unsatisfied.
As soon as I get this operation,
Anticipating an operation for a positive change.
Taken care of, I'll start enjoying,
Planning to enjoy life after the operation.
The good things in life.
Looking forward to the good things in life.
So I'll keep on working for their benefit,
Continuing to work for others' benefit.
And I'll keep on drinking,
Continuing to drink, facing challenges.
I'll keep believing, I'll keep believing in my life.
Maintaining belief in one's life.
When the pity spins your mind,
Describing a state of mind filled with pity.
Darkness fills your heart,
Darkness filling the heart during difficult times.
And I won't be around,
Not being present during someone's struggles.
When you feel you're all alone,
When feeling alone, it's time for a significant change.
Then you'll know it's time,
Recognizing the need for transformation.
To go into the ground,
Understanding the inevitability of mortality.
When the pity spins your mind,
Repeating the theme of a troubled mind.
Darkness fills your heart,
Reiteration of darkness filling the heart.
And I won't be around.
Expressing absence during someone's struggles.
I've got my family, friends, and associates,
Mentioning the support of family, friends, and associates.
To stand by me as the threshold comes near,
As the end approaches, observing concern in loved ones.
Within their faces I see grave concern,
Questioning the sincerity of others' thoughts.
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere.
Reflecting on the uncertainty of others' feelings.
After all these years of being complacent,
After years of complacency, questioning the rewards.
What do I get? Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
Reflecting on whether complacency brought love and tenderness.
Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret.
Expressing regret and pain despite complacency.
I'll keep on believing my life still has value,
Maintaining belief in the value of life.
And I'll keep on laughing,
Continuing to laugh despite challenges.
Why can't I stop laughing?
Questioning the inability to stop laughing.
I can't stop the laughing.
The persistent, uncontrollable laughter.
