Lyrics
Staring at a blue screen
Reflecting on a computer screen.
The movie's over
Entertainment has concluded.
So I'm turning to a new scene
Transitioning to a new phase of life.
If life is good
Questioning the paradox of a supposedly good life being confusing.
Then why is it so damn confusing
Expressing confusion despite life being perceived as good.
Nobody likes it when the plot is overdue
Discontent with delayed or unresolved life events.
And everything is so abusing
Feeling overwhelmed and abused by everything.
The book is finished
Completing a chapter, but the conclusion is uncertain.
But the ending left is open ended
Facing consequences of actions with uncertain outcomes.
I wrote some checks
Issues with karma and unintended consequences of choices.
That my karma ended up overspending
Financial and spiritual bankruptcy due to choices.
My spirit's broken
Feeling emotionally shattered.
And my brain's declaring bankruptcy
Experiencing mental exhaustion and bankruptcy.
My body's overloading
Physical and mental overwhelm with no gratitude received.
And I vomit all the thanks I get
Expressing dissatisfaction and rejection of appreciation.
Nobody ever said that it was easy
Highlighting the difficulty of life.
No, no, no
Emphasizing the challenge of life.
Nobody ever said that it gets easier
Acknowledging that life doesn't necessarily get easier.
Yeah, yeah yeaah
Reiterating the ongoing challenges of life.
Yes, of course you can do so what you please
Granting freedom to choose one's path.
Wooah, oh, no
Expressing the inevitability of life's challenges.
But you're either ate, or you're the eater
Life is either about being consumed or being the consumer.
I could've been a champion
Regretting missed opportunities to achieve greatness.
A true contender
Acknowledging the potential for success and competition.
Base jumped the grand canyon
Imagining daring achievements and experiences.
Made a smoothie in a blender
Reflecting on trivial accomplishments.
Man I could've been on jeopardy
Contemplating contributions to significant causes.
Made a cure for cancer
Desiring recognition for impactful achievements.
Just so they respect me
Aware that true respect may not come easily.
But they wont respect the answer any
Expecting a lack of appreciation for the answer provided.
I could've won awards for music but they'll never listen
Frustration over unacknowledged musical talents.
They try to study me for something that's forever missing
Being misunderstood and unappreciated for an intangible quality.
They'll never find it
Accepting that the missing quality may never be found.
Cause that part never existed
Recognition that a crucial part of oneself never existed.
And I've always tried my best
Always striving for the best, but lacking genuine passion.
But my heart was never in it
Acknowledging a lack of heartfelt commitment.
Nobody ever said that it was easy
Reiterating the difficulty of life.
No, no, no
Emphasizing ongoing challenges.
Nobody ever said that it gets easier
Affirming that life's challenges persist.
Yeah, yeah yeaah
Reiterating the ongoing challenges of life.
Yes, of course you can do so what you please
Granting freedom to choose one's path.
Wooah, oh, no
Expressing the inevitability of life's challenges.
But you're either ate, or you're the eater
Life is either about being consumed or being the consumer.
But you're either ate or you're the eater
Life presents a dichotomy - either being consumed or being the consumer.
Yeah, you're either ate or you're the eater
Reiterating the fundamental choice between being consumed or being the consumer.
