Escape to Southern France: A Melodic Journey Through 21st Century Blues
Lyrics
I walk down the street and I feel like a human
I feel a sense of humanity as I walk down the street.
I just wanna be a pedestrian commuting
I desire a simple life as a pedestrian going about daily routines.
Ride my bike till I'm 75
Expressing a wish to continue biking until old age.
Always go to sleep when I get real tired
Choosing to sleep when physically exhausted.
Get down on my knees and pray up to a God I don't believe in
Engaging in a ritual of prayer despite skepticism towards God.
21st century blues got me feeling lenient
Feeling lenient and forgiving in the face of 21st-century challenges.
I'll drive my car to get us to the mountains
Using a car as a means to reach distant places, perhaps metaphorical.
Always seems far when we're screaming and we're shouting
Distances seem vast during moments of intense communication.
Hold your hand till I get you to the peak
Symbolic gesture of support, holding hands to reach a goal.
Take time to understand why you were mad at me
Reflecting on the need to understand reasons for conflicts.
Miss you when I can't see wish a way you could hold me
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and comfort.
21st century blues got me feeling lonely
Feeling lonely and isolated in the complexities of the 21st century.
All this time alone gets me all riled up
Isolation causing emotional agitation and frustration.
I just sleep all day and when night comes I just stay up
Altered sleep patterns, staying awake during the night.
I miss the restaurant, I miss the way we'd talk
Nostalgia for shared moments in a restaurant and meaningful conversations.
I'll fly a plane to get out of the country
Expressing a desire to escape, even through unconventional means like flying a plane.
Simply run away when I don't have any money
Considering running away when faced with financial constraints.
Find a little spot somewhere in Southern France
Yearning for a peaceful place in Southern France.
Invite you when I'm not overwhelmed with plans
Intending to share that peaceful place with someone special.
Bug you when I thought that we'd always be here but it ain't me
Regret for not appreciating the present, expressing a sense of change.
21st century blues got me feeling lazy
Feeling a lack of motivation or energy in the contemporary world.
