Lyrics
Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Expressing dissatisfaction with the efforts put in and the challenges faced.
Future's coming much too slow
Impatience about the slow progress of the future.
And you wanna run, but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Desire to escape or change the current situation, yet finding it hard to do so.
Can't decide on which way to go
Feeling stuck and unable to make a decision about the direction to take.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A repeated expression of frustration or emphasis.
I understand about indecision
Acknowledging the struggle with making decisions.
But I don't care if I get behind
Indifference to falling behind in the race of life.
People livin' in competition
Observation of a society where people are in constant competition.
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Expressing the primary desire for personal peace of mind amidst competition.
Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Describing the climb up the corporate ladder.
Hope it doesn't take too long
Anxiousness about the duration of the climb.
Can't cha see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Anticipating a time when such achievements won't matter.
Come a day when you'll be gone
Reflecting on the inevitability of departure.
Ohh, ohh
A repeated expression of emotional intensity or emphasis.
I understand about indecision
Reiterating the difficulty in making decisions.
But I don't care if I get behind
Reiterating indifference to falling behind in the race of life.
People livin' in competition
Reiteration of the observation of a competitive society.
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Reaffirming the desire for personal peace of mind amidst competition.
Take a look ahead
Encouraging a forward-looking perspective.
Take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating the call to look ahead with emphasis.
Now everybody's got advice, they just keep on givin'
Highlighting the prevalence of unsolicited advice from others.
Doesn't mean too much to me
Expressing a lack of significance attached to the advice received.
Lots of people out to make believe they're livin'
Critiquing individuals who pretend to be someone they are not.
Can't decide who they should be
Undecided about one's identity and purpose.
Oh, oh
A repeated expression of emotional intensity or emphasis.
I understand about indecision
Reiterating the struggle with making decisions.
But I don't care if I get behind
Reiterating indifference to falling behind in the race of life.
People livin' in competition
Reiteration of the observation of a competitive society.
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Reaffirming the desire for personal peace of mind amidst competition.
Take a look ahead
Emphasizing the importance of looking ahead for solutions.
Take a look ahead
Repeating the call to look ahead with emphasis.
Look ahead
Encouraging a forward-looking mindset.
