Lyrics

What you are

Expressing a question about one's identity or nature.

What you want

Pondering desires or aspirations.

Oh my god

An exclamation, possibly indicating surprise or disbelief.

What you want

Reiteration of contemplating desires or aspirations.

Today I woke up dumb

Describing a state of mental fog or confusion upon waking up.

I couldn't think of any words or work my tongue

Difficulty expressing oneself verbally or finding motivation.

I couldn't even praise the sun cuz the concept of walking outside was something I couldn't process

Struggling with the idea of going outside, perhaps due to mental barriers.

I thought cartoons would look like fun but my eyes had no idea what they were watching

Expectation that enjoyable activities may not be enjoyable due to perception issues.

Maybe I'm not meant to have one of those what's it called something hold up

Expressing uncertainty about having a particular thing or concept.

I'm rubbing my tummy and slapping my face basically I'm multitasking frantically prancing in space

Engaging in chaotic, desperate activities while feeling overwhelmed.

Pray for me

An appeal for support or empathy from others.

And while that won't fill up my gas tank I can make believe death will grant me a million miles to the gallon

Imagining an afterlife reward for a seemingly futile or unfulfilled life.

But I won't hold my breath unless that's how I'm supposed to get there

Not expecting positive outcomes unless adopting a fatalistic approach.

Whoa Lord knows it's all too often thinking outside of that box will get you inside of a coffin and talking about what you want is better than accomplishing shit

Commentary on the irony of talking about ambitions versus actually achieving them.

What you are an affront to me! What you want

Expressing disdain for someone's existence or behavior.

Today I got up in my own way I couldn't find my happy place because the crap was opaque

Facing challenges in finding contentment due to unclear obstacles.

It's in my face and I'm wading in it

Being confronted by undesirable situations and emotions.

Am I the wader?

Questioning one's role or responsibility in negative circumstances.

I'm afraid I'm made of it cuz I crave the taste of it

Acknowledging an attraction to negativity or challenges.

In fact I just made myself a fat crap sandwich with sauerkraut and raisin bread right now and I didn't even have to pay for it

Humorous description of indulging in undesirable circumstances.

Like I said there's no escaping it

Acceptance of the inescapability of certain situations.

Look people give a lot of advice but then I watch them hit their heads on what's in front of their eyes

Observing others giving advice but not following it themselves.

Just because I fuck shit up don't mean I'm one of those guys that's gonna make it someone else's problem not on your life

Claiming responsibility for mistakes and rejecting the notion of passing them to others.

But I'm allowed to yell loudly at myself when I stub my toe and ridicule myself when I got no get up and go

Self-mockery and self-discipline even in small failures.

Now I'd like to put up a toast!

Expressing a desire to make a symbolic gesture, possibly in a sarcastic or humorous manner.

Whether I'm celebrating or medicating you'll never know

Ambiguous statement about celebrating or coping, keeping emotions private.

What you are an affront to me!

Reiteration of disdain for someone's existence or behavior.

What you want an apology?

Possibly sarcastic inquiry about wanting an apology.

Oh my god you're too close to me!

An exclamation expressing discomfort with proximity.

What you want?

Reiteration of pondering desires or aspirations.

Today is gonna be more of the same baby

Anticipation of a repetitive, mundane day.

It's amazing how we gain momentum and remain lazy

Reflecting on the paradox of gaining momentum but remaining inactive.

Today is gonna be more of the same baby

Expectation of a day with a consistent, possibly chaotic, experience.

It's amazing how we gain perspective and remain crazy

Observation on gaining perspective while maintaining a state of mental instability.

What you are an affront to me!

Final reiteration of disdain for someone's existence or behavior.

What you want an apology?

Potential sarcastic inquiry about wanting an apology.

No Oh my god you're too close to me!

Discomfort expressed due to close proximity.

What you want?

Reiteration of pondering desires or aspirations.
