Lyrics
I’ve decided I’m not going in today
I've decided not to go to work today
It’s so vastly overrated
Work is highly overrated
Shitty hours and some shitty rates of pay
Unpleasant working hours and low pay rates
My hatred can’t be overstated
Expressing intense hatred, emphasizing its strength
Who decided this was how it’s meant to be?
Questioning the societal norms and expectations
Who were the ones who made the rules?
Asking about the originators of societal rules
Who were the ones who told me go about my shitty life?
Reflecting on advice to lead a mediocre life
We are lions led by fools
Describing a feeling of being misled by incompetent leaders
So bury me standing
Expressing a desire to be remembered standing, not submissive
I’ve lived all my life, I’ve lived all my life on my knees
Lived life in a subservient manner
Face me outwards, not looking inwards
Facing outward suggests defiance and independence
I’ve spent all my life trying to please
Spent life trying to please others
Broken hearts, broken spirits, broken dreams
Describing emotional pain, despair, and shattered aspirations
Worked my fingers to the bone
Worked extremely hard, possibly without significant reward
Its so hard just not stepping out of line
Struggling to conform and avoid deviating from societal expectations
Just become another clock watching clone
Becoming a monotonous and unfulfilled individual
So bury me standing
Reiterating the desire to be remembered standing, not submissive
I’ve lived all my life, I’ve lived all my life on my knees
Continuation of living a submissive life
Face me outwards, not looking inwards
Emphasizing defiance and independence in facing life
I’ve spent all my life trying to please
Spent life trying to please others
