I'd Do Nothing

Embracing Inaction: Old Ways' Reflection on Fear and Failure
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

What would you do, if you couldn't fail

Contemplating actions in the face of potential failure

Would you do anything at all

Questioning the willingness to take any action

I'd do nothing

Expressing a preference for doing nothing

Can I get a second of your time

Requesting a brief moment of attention

It's been too long since I felt fine

Describing a prolonged period without feeling well

Would you tickle me pink with your fuzzy memory

Asking if a comforting memory could uplift the mood

I've slept with the lights on

Admitting to sleeping with lights on, possibly due to fear or anxiety

Too many nights I'm running low

Feeling depleted and fatigued after numerous challenging nights

I need a good memory to spark some

Desiring a positive memory to inspire empathy for oneself

Empathy for myself, but you know

Acknowledging the need for self-compassion

That I'll do nothing

Reiterating a preference for doing nothing

Cause that's what I always do

Emphasizing a pattern of inaction as a response

When I feel my bad parts push through

Coping with personal struggles by choosing inactivity

Yeah, that's what I always do

Repeating the tendency to do nothing in challenging situations

When I know that I might fail

Choosing inaction when facing the possibility of failure

But what would you do

Posing a hypothetical question about the listener's response

I'd do nothing

Reaffirming the inclination to do nothing personally

Cause that's what I always do

Restating the habitual response to internal challenges

When I feel my bad parts push through

Acknowledging a recurring pattern of inaction

Yeah, that's what I always do

Emphasizing a consistent approach to challenges

When I know that I might fail

Choosing inaction in anticipation of potential failure

But what was it that you'd do

Prompting a recall of the listener's potential actions

Cause nothing is all I do

Stating a commitment to continued inactivity

And that's what I'll always do

Affirming a persistent inclination towards doing nothing

Cause nothing's the only thing

Highlighting a consistent choice of inaction as a defining trait

I know I'll turn into

Acknowledging a predictable transformation into inactivity
