Lyrics
We the people fight for our existence
We, the people, are fighting for our existence.
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We acknowledge that we are not perfect, but we cherish our freedom.
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
We dream our dreams in solitude, facing no opposition.
Fading like the stars we wish to be
We are fading away like the stars we aspire to become.
You know I didn't mean what I just said
The speaker clarifies that their previous statement wasn't intended seriously.
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
The speaker suggests a divine figure (God) is in a bad mood.
And it just don't matter now
Regardless, the current situation doesn't matter anymore.
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Gradually, over time, they provided everything the listener ever desired.
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
However, the wheels of the listener's life are slowly falling apart.
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
The listener must give their all throughout their life.
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?
The speaker questions the true purpose of the listener's presence.
True perfection has to be imperfect
True perfection, according to the speaker, involves imperfection.
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
Although it may sound foolish, this imperfection is deemed true.
Day has come, now you'll have to accept
A new day has arrived, and the listener must come to terms with life inside their mind.
Life inside your head we give to you
This mental existence is a gift from others.
You know I didn't mean what I just said
Similar to earlier, the speaker corrects a previous statement as not meant seriously.
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
A reference to a divine being waking up in a bad mood is reiterated.
And it just don't matter now
Current circumstances are emphasized as inconsequential now.
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Continuation of the theme that, bit by bit, everything desired was provided.
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Despite this, the listener's life is gradually unraveling.
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
The listener is urged to give their all throughout their entire life.
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?
The speaker continues questioning the true purpose of the listener's existence.
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Repetition of the idea that everything desired was gradually provided.
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Reiteration of the concept that the listener's life is slowly falling apart.
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
Re-emphasis on the idea that the listener must give their all throughout their entire life.
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?
The speaker persists in questioning the true purpose of the listener's presence.
Why am I really here?
The speaker directly questions their own existence, pondering the reason for being.
Why am I really here?
This existential questioning is reiterated.
