Lyrics
Sometimes I lie awake, And think about the day
Sometimes, I lie awake and reflect on the day.
I watch you all walk around with,
I observe everyone around me.
Your eyes half open
People appear indifferent or disengaged.
I smoke one more cigarette and, start it all over
After smoking another cigarette, I restart the routine.
You’re all so scared to face your own lives
You all avoid confronting your own lives.
You let it pass you by
Opportunities pass you by.
Why don’t you try and open up your eyes
Encouragement to open your eyes and perceive the closing opportunities.
And see the door is closing
The chance is slipping away.
You always wait
You habitually delay.
Five Minutes for it to come
Waiting for something to happen, anticipating change.
Five minutes and its over over
Five minutes pass, and it's all over.
You seem to think your life’s just begun
You perceive your life as just starting.
Five minutes and its over over
However, those five minutes mark the end.
There is a man in the kitchen with a shovel
A man in the kitchen with a shovel introduces a mysterious element.
A million dollars on the dining room table
A significant amount of money on the table adds complexity.
Now every day he puts a little in the oven
He daily invests something valuable.
You can spend as much or little as you’re able
You can spend or save as you choose.
You’re all so scared to face you’re own lives
Similar to earlier, avoiding facing your own life.
You let it pass you by
Letting opportunities slip away again.
Why don’t you try and open up your eyes
Suggesting to open your eyes and understand the situation.
See what the man is burning
Understanding what the man is burning, possibly symbolizing sacrifice.
You always wait
Waiting is a common theme.
Five minutes for it to come
Again, anticipating change in five minutes.
Five minutes and its over over
Five minutes pass, and it's over once more.
You seem to think your life’s just begun
You still believe your life is at its beginning.
Five minutes and its over
The repetition of the theme of endings in five minutes.
Five minutes for it to come
Waiting for something significant to happen.
Five minutes and its over over
Five minutes elapse, and it's over again.
You seem to think your life’s just begun
You persist in thinking your life is just starting.
Five minutes and its over over
Reiterating the transient nature of those five minutes.
It’s your life
Emphasizing that it's your own life.
It’s your life
Repetition of the assertion that it's your life.
Why don’t you spend it the best you can
Encouragement to make the best of your life.
It’s your life
Reiteration that it's your own life to live.
It’s your life
Emphasizing ownership of one's life.
You always wait
Reverting to the theme of waiting.
Five minutes for it to come
Anticipating change in five minutes yet again.
Five minutes and its over over
Five minutes pass, and it's over once more.
You seem to think your life’s just begun
You persist in thinking your life is just starting.
Five minutes and its over
Repetition of the transient nature of those five minutes.
Five minutes for it to come
Waiting for something significant to happen.
Five minutes and its over over
Five minutes elapse, and it's over again.
You seem to think your life’s just begun
You persist in thinking your life is just starting.
Five minutes and its over over
Reiterating the transient nature of those five minutes.
