Four Excuses Thrown
Escape the Chains: A Journey from Excuses to Freedom
Lyrics
Under the table
Seeking refuge or avoiding attention discreetly.
You can take my early statement
Offering permission to challenge or question an initial statement.
If you're able
Asking if one has the capability or capacity.
If you're able
Reiteration of the question of capability.
It's a staple
Referring to something essential or customary.
Every good thing's in New York
Positive aspects are present in New York.
But if you have to live it
Questioning the worth of experiencing the positives if challenging.
Then what's the point of cable?
Questioning the value of having cable if living in New York is difficult.
Cause it's too far away
Expressing that New York is too distant.
And I'm too lazy
Indicating personal reluctance or lethargy.
Plus cheap and poor
Mentioning financial constraints and poverty.
Already four excuses thrown
Stating the presence of four excuses already.
And if I give it a go
Considering attempting despite the excuses.
Will you take some pressure off my handle
Asking for support and relief from pressure.
And leave no trace
Emphasizing the desire to leave no evidence or impact.
And leave no trace
Repeating the desire to leave no evidence or impact.
Now you're in a field
Describing a setting with a colonial home in a field.
With a colonial home
Expressing solitude in the described setting.
All alone
Highlighting the thin walls and ability to overhear activities.
But the walls are thin so you hear what's going on
Describing the influence of external opinions from friends.
Your friends on your shoulder
Friends suggesting lack of progress.
Say, "You are getting nowhere..."
Implying a pessimistic outlook on change.
"And you've got no hope of change
Stating the absence of hope for change.
You've got no hope of change
Repeating the absence of hope for change.
No salvation
Declaring a lack of salvation.
On your plantation
Using metaphorical language related to a plantation and lack of change.
You've got no hope of change
Reiterating the absence of hope for change.
Upon your physical frame
Referring to the physical aspect of a person.
Or your psychological plane
Referring to the psychological aspect of a person.
You've got no hope of change
Emphasizing the absence of hope for change.
You've got no hope of change
Repeating the absence of hope for change.
Anymore."
Concluding the lack of hope for change.
Cause it's too far away
Reiterating that New York is too distant.
And I'm too lazy
Reiterating personal reluctance or lethargy.
Plus cheap and poor
Reiterating financial constraints and poverty.
Already four excuses thrown
Reiterating the presence of four excuses.
If I give it a go
Considering attempting despite the excuses.
Will you take some pressure off my handle
Asking for support and relief from pressure.
And leave no trace
Emphasizing the desire to leave no evidence or impact.
And leave no trace
Repeating the desire to leave no evidence or impact.
Under the table
Repeating the initial phrase of seeking refuge under the table.
(Under the table)

If you're able
Reiterating the question of capability or capacity.
(If you're able)
-Spare some change
Requesting financial assistance.
Cause I want no part of this
Expressing a strong aversion to being involved in a situation.
(I want no part of this)
Reiterating the strong aversion to being involved.
I want no part of this anymore
Repeating
