Should've Been A Lawyer
Breaking Records, Chasing Bliss: The Unspoken Regrets in 'Should've Been A Lawyer'
Lyrics
Are diamonds really made from pressure?
Questioning if diamonds truly form under intense pressure
Cause I should be shining by now
Feeling like success should have come by now
I'm getting my shit together
Getting life in order
They act like I'm fucking around
Others perceive actions as not serious
My family is a broken record
Family continually repeats criticisms or issues
Saying I'm a broken record
Feeling stuck in repetitive behavior
Can't keep chasing bliss forever
Understanding that chasing happiness isn't sustainable
Yeah, I know
Acknowledging this understanding
I should've been a lawyer
Expressing regret about career choice
My rent is going up
Struggling financially with rising rent
And now I can't afford to
Unable to afford dreams of luxury travel
Keep on dreaming of
Aspirations for luxurious travel experiences
First class oversees, oh Belize, you're a tease
Yearning for high-end travel but feeling it's out of reach
You don't have to keep on repeating, cause I get it
Understanding without needing continuous reminders
I should've been a lawyer
Reiterating regret over career choice
These habits are fucking expensive
Bad habits are costly
The price of being alive
Life's expenses come at a high cost
Insurance is getting relentless
Struggling with relentless financial demands, especially insurance
Like they don't care if I survive
Feeling like survival isn't a concern for others
My story is a broken record
Feeling trapped in a repetitive life story
Breaking trying to break a record
Struggling to break away from a repetitive cycle
I'll keep chasing bliss forever
Continuing to pursue happiness despite understanding its challenges
Yeah, I know
Acknowledging the understanding of chasing eternal happiness
I should've been a lawyer
Reiterating regret over career choice
My rent is going up
Financial struggle with increasing rent
And now I can't afford to
Unable to afford desired dreams
Keep on dreaming of
Aspirations for luxurious travel experiences
First class oversees, oh Belize, you're a tease
Desire for high-end travel experiences despite the unattainability
You don't have to keep on repeating, cause I get it
Understanding without needing continuous reminders
I should've been a
Reiterating regret over career choice
Shoulda coulda woulda but I won't
Recognizing missed opportunities but choosing not to dwell
You think I'm a fuck up but I don't
Rejecting others' negative opinions about oneself
Care what you say, I can't be safe
Choosing a path regardless of others' warnings
I can't be saved
Resisting help or change
Shoulda coulda woulda but I won't
Similar to line 31, rejecting dwelling on missed opportunities
You think I'm a fuck up but I don't
Rejecting others' negative opinions about oneself
Care what you say, I can't be safe
Choosing a path regardless of others' warnings
I can't be saved
Resisting help or change
I'm just losing my mind, that's all
Feeling overwhelmed or distressed mentally
Darling, you want to know what I think?
Sharing a bleak outlook on the world
We're all in danger
Expressing a sense of imminent danger for everyone
I should've been a lawyer
Reiterating regret over career choice
My rent is going up
Financial struggle with increasing rent
And now I can't afford to
Unable to afford desired dreams
Keep on dreaming of
Aspirations for luxurious travel experiences
First class oversees, oh Belize, you're a tease
Desire for high-end travel experiences despite the unattainability
You don't have to keep on repeating, cause I get it
Understanding without needing continuous reminders
I should've been a lawyer
Reiterating regret over career choice
