You and Them
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Porcelain People's 'You and Them' Insights
Lyrics
Day after day
Expressing the repetitive nature of daily life.
I wake up and light my cigarette
Starting the day with a routine, possibly using a cigarette as a ritual.
Seasons never change
Highlighting the stagnancy of seasons, mirroring emotional stasis after a departure.
I learned it when she left
Implying a realization or lesson learned after a significant person leaves.
"Let go", "time flies"
Quoting advice received, emphasizing the passing of time and the need to avoid causing sadness.
"Don't you ever make her sad"
Conveying the impact of running away and the associated shame.
"You ran again", "You feel ashamed"
Reflecting on the consequences of actions and the responsibility to take initiative.
"It ain't gonna make itself"
Stressing the importance of self-motivation and not waiting for things to happen.
This is just the way people is...
Observing the inherent nature of people, accepting their characteristics.
(Wow)
Expressing a sense of awe or surprise.
I wish i was a bit more stupid
Wishing for simplicity or ignorance to find joy in common things.
So I could laugh with them
Desiring the ability to laugh with others without self-awareness.
And not about me
Yearning for a carefree attitude towards oneself.
I’m sure they can do better
Expressing doubt in personal capabilities compared to others.
“It’s all right”, “Guess what?
Mocking the triviality of sharing daily experiences, indifferent to each other's well-being.
My day was a lot better
Highlighting the insignificance of personal achievements in the grand scheme of things.
Or worse. who cares?”
Dismissive attitude toward the importance of personal experiences.
“Pay attention to me”
Addressing the need for attention, seeking validation or acknowledgment.
This is just the way people is...
Reiterating acceptance of the inherent nature of people.
Why?
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind human behavior.
I don’t know
Acknowledging the lack of understanding about human nature.
And even if I try
Attempting to vocalize thoughts louder than internal struggles.
To yell louder than my thoughts
Recognizing the persistent and intrusive nature of inner thoughts.
They will never cease
Anticipating that inner struggles will persist despite efforts to overcome them.
Trying to tell me how I should live
Acknowledging external influences dictating how one should live.
It’s so weird now, predictable
Commenting on the peculiar predictability of life.
I knew that some of these would happen
Reflecting on the realization of expected events, possibly negative.
It was so cynical, it’s insane
Describing a cynical and insane aspect of life, expressing aversion.
I don't even want to hear that name
Rejecting the mere mention of a certain name or person.
The last time I saw her she still looked great
Nostalgically recalling the appearance of someone from the past.
Damn...
Expressing a strong emotional reaction, possibly regret or sorrow.
And even if I try to stay calm
Struggling to maintain composure and calmness in the face of challenges.
There’s always someone having a harder time
Acknowledging the existence of others facing more difficult situations.
And even if I know we all struggle different
Recognizing diverse struggles but feeling a personal sense of weakness.
My stupid mind can't avoid feeling like the weakest
Admitting vulnerability and comparing oneself unfavorably to others.
Day after day
Repeating the cyclical nature of waking up and facing doubt daily.
I wake up and doubt about mostly anything
Expressing ongoing uncertainty and skepticism about various aspects of life.
But I must know, I must know
Emphasizing the need for understanding and clarity despite doubt.
It’s all in my thoughts
Asserting that everything is confined to one's thoughts, suggesting an internal struggle.
