Lyrics

Gently my mind escapes into the relaxing world of pleasure

Gently, I escape mentally into a pleasurable world.

A pleasure that'll take my mind off the reality of my life

This pleasure helps distract me from the harsh realities of my life.

My past life

Reflecting on my past existence.

Life as I know it know

My current life, as I understand it now.

And whatever may come, it slowly disappears

Regardless of what challenges may arise, they gradually fade away.

To somewhere in the back of my mind

These challenges are pushed into a hidden part of my mind.

It will remain there until I wish to retrieve it

They stay there until I choose to confront them again.


Yes I will stay here for a while for I need the break

Deciding to remain in this mental escape for some time as I require a break.

A break from the pressures of life

This break is necessary to alleviate the pressures of life.

And everything that lay in the palm of life's hands, life's hands

Everything that life offers is within the control of life itself.


This mode is incredible

Describing the incredible nature of this mental state.

It's out of this world

It's so extraordinary that it feels otherworldly.

Too bad I must always leave it

Regrettably, I must always depart from this state.

But that's life

But this departure is a part of life.


That's life (yeah)

Reiterating that this departure is a fundamental aspect of life.

That's life (yeah)

Further emphasizing the inevitability of this cycle.

That's life (yeah)

(Repetition for emphasis)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh yes
