Reality Check
Escape the Chains of Routine: Search Committee's Reality Check
Lyrics
Can only do so much
Expressing limitations in what one can achieve or handle.
I would split in two
Feeling emotionally torn or divided.
If only I could
Wishing for the ability to split or cope better with challenges.
He's in the other room
Referring to someone physically present but emotionally distant.
Boss mans stretched you thin
Supervisor or authority figure overburdening with tasks.
You're not allowed to leave
Being restricted from leaving a situation.
Unless you pay
Freedom to leave is tied to financial payment.
But now you've already exchanged
Transaction already completed, rendering efforts useless.
It all goes to waste
Efforts or resources going to waste.
Already sick of the taste
Already weary or displeased with the situation.
Can I be tamed?
Questioning personal restraint or control.
Could my mind be blown away?
Wondering if one's thoughts or perspective can be drastically changed.
You look so thin
Observing physical thinness, potentially due to neglect.
Cause you don't eat before you leave
Highlighting neglect of self-care before facing external challenges.
Tries to be your friend
Someone attempts to be friendly but seeks personal benefit.
Then he asked you for your change
Requesting personal resources after feigning friendship.
Hes stretched you thin
Reiteration of being stretched thin by external pressures.
You're not allowed to leave
Continued restriction from leaving, tied to payment.
Unless you pay
Freedom still constrained unless a cost is paid.
Now you've already exchanged
Emphasizing irreversible exchange or transaction.
Bring me down please
Requesting to be brought down emotionally or mentally.
Say what I want to hear
Desiring to hear comforting or affirming words.
Can't knock down those pins
Difficulty in overcoming obstacles or challenges.
Cause it weighs down the natural taste
External pressures affecting the natural enjoyment or flavor.
Takes it on the chin
Enduring difficulties with resilience or without complaint.
Putting much more product to waste
Increased wastage of resources due to external pressures.
Hes stretched you thin
Repeated emphasis on being stretched thin by external forces.
You're not allowed to leave
Continued restriction from leaving, but no one actively obstructing.
No ones in your way
No specific obstacles in the way of taking a break.
Take your one and only break
Encouragement to take the only available break.
