Mannequin
Navigating Life's Puppetry: A Mannequin's Journey
Lyrics
I wake up I make some coffee
I begin my day by making coffee.
I mix some bananas and berries
I prepare a mixture of bananas and berries with honey and almond milk.
With honey and almond milk
Continuing efforts to act mature and responsible.
I'm trying to be grown up
I'm striving to embrace adulthood.
I head to the tram in a hurry
I rush to catch the tram.
The sun is out and it's windy
The weather is sunny and windy.
I won't want to stand here long
I don't want to linger here for long.
I just need to get to work
My focus is on getting to work.
Where I'll make some people happy
At work, I bring joy to some and sadness to others.
And I'll make some people sad
The consequences are not my fault.
Through no fault of my own
People's egos are prominently displayed.
Their egos are on show
They can't see the bigger picture due to their own issues.
They can't see the forrest for the trees
Their beliefs are misguided.
And their trees are full of shit
Their beliefs are flawed and full of nonsense.
Their trees are full of shit
Emphasizing the falsehood in their convictions.
We need to get on with it
An urging to move forward.
I'm called to be a man again
A call to embrace masculinity.
I feel more like a mannequin
Feeling more like an inanimate mannequin than a real person.
I'm trying to be a good man
Struggling to be a good person.
But a need a hand.
Expressing a need for assistance.
Later I take the stage
Taking on a role, possibly performing on stage.
I act younger than my age
Behaving younger than one's actual age for survival.
It's how I keep myself alive
Sustaining oneself by relying on positive experiences.
Living off your good times
Dependent on the enjoyment provided by others.
I head home late in the evening
Returning home late in the evening.
I tram again and it's freezing
Travelling in the tram again, facing the cold.
I dressed for the afternoon
Dressed for the afternoon, but living life differently.
But I live my life like the moon
Living life with phases, akin to the moon.
I walk home pretty slowly
Walking home at a leisurely pace.
I'm only alone I'm not lonely
Being alone without feeling lonely.
I think about my years
Reflecting on the passing years.
With Mickey Cooper in my ears
Remembering moments with Mickey Cooper.
I can't see the forrest for the trees
Similar to earlier sentiments, unable to see the bigger picture.
I'm so full of shit
Acknowledging one's own shortcomings.
I'm so full of shit
Reiterating self-awareness of flaws.
I'm called to be a man again
Revisiting the theme of embracing manhood.
I feel more like a mannequin
Feeling more like an emotionless mannequin than a true person.
I'm trying to be a good man
Struggling to be a morally upright person.
I'm trying
Expressing effort to improve.
I'm trying
Continued emphasis on trying to be better.
I've been so close
Admitting to being on the verge of giving up.
You'll never know I've
Others may never realize how close I am to surrendering.
Been so close to letting go
Acknowledging a struggle with the temptation to let go.
