Modern Times
Navigating Life's Chaos: A Journey Through Modern Times
Lyrics
These realising times
Reflecting on the present times and understanding them.
Sitting watching a cigarette burn
Observing a cigarette burn, perhaps symbolizing the passage of time.
Thrown into the dirt
A metaphorical act of discarding something valuable into insignificance.
I find
Discovering a sense of misfit or non-conformity.
My face it doesn't fit
Feeling out of place or not fitting societal expectations.
Watching the sand in the hourglass
Contemplating the passing of time using the hourglass imagery.
As life goes by
Reflecting on the inevitability of life progressing.
Tell me why it's easy, so easy
Questioning the easiness of certain aspects of life.
Falling apart
Expressing a sense of falling apart or breaking down.
I can tell you're lying
Noticing dishonesty or deception in someone's communication.
People in glass houses
Advising against criticizing others when you have flaws yourself.
They shouldn’t throw stones
Continuing the theme of caution against hypocrisy.
I make my way through modern times
Repeating the determination to navigate through contemporary challenges.
I make my way through modern times
-It’s never enough to defy
Stating that merely defying expectations is not sufficient.
Opinions of the simple mind
Rejecting simplistic viewpoints of others.
Though in life we try
Despite life's difficulties, striving to make things right.
To always make things right
Advocating for rectifying mistakes and maintaining sanity.
But there's the sense of Lunacy
Highlighting a prevailing sense of madness or irrationality.
Defining the common mind
Defining the mindset of the general population.
So tell me why it's easy, so easy
Reiterating the ease with which things fall apart.
Falling apart
-So tell me why it's easy, so easy
-Falling apart
-So tell me why it's easy falling apart
Emphasizing the ease of falling apart.
I can tell you're lying
Reaffirming the ability to detect lies in communication.
You're lying to me
-People in glass houses
Recalling the caution against hypocrisy from earlier lines.
They shouldnt throw stones
-I wade my way through modern times
Continuing the journey through modern challenges.
I wade my way through modern times
-People in glass houses
-They shouldn't throw stones
-I wade my way through modern times
-I wade my way through modern times
-Think of yourself as wildcard
Encouraging self-perception as a wildcard, someone unpredictable.
Think of yourself as a renegade
Promoting a renegade mindset, challenging norms.
There's millions just like you
Acknowledging the abundance of individuals with a similar mindset.
Think of yourself as a wildcard
-Think of yourself as a heavyweight
-There's millions just like you
-People in glass houses
Repeating the caution against judgment from those with flaws.
They shouldn't throw stones
-I wade my way through modern times
-I wade my way through modern times
-People in glass houses
-They shouldn't throw stones
-I wade my way through modern times
-I wade my way through modern times
-People in glass houses
-They shouldn't throw stones
-I wade my way through modern times
-I wade my way through modern times
