I Am Cliche
Navigating Existential Turmoil: Steven Wilson's I Am Cliche
Lyrics
I got an existential crisis
I am experiencing a crisis related to the nature of existence.
I got millennium blues too late
I feel the weight of the problems associated with the turn of the millennium, and it's too late to address them.
I got addictions and all the hip vices
I have various addictions and indulge in trendy vices.
I'm a personal earthquake
I am a source of turmoil and upheaval in my own life.
’Cos I am cliche
I embody stereotypes and clichés.
I got prescription meds to warm me
I rely on prescription medications for comfort.
I love music but I don't wanna pay
Although I love music, I am unwilling to pay for it.
It doesn't take much to make me angry
It takes very little to provoke anger in me.
I’m the king of complaining
I am prone to complaining and negativity.
'Cos I am cliche
Reiterating that I am a cliché, emphasizing my predictability.
I got addictions and all the hip vices
Repeating the mention of addictions and trendy vices.
A bag of nerves with ADD
Describing myself as a bundle of nerves with attention deficit disorder (ADD).
I'm a dream of my own creation
I am a product of my own imagination, living in a self-created dream.
You won't even see me
I am so unremarkable that you won't even notice me.
'Cos I am cliche
Reiterating that I am a cliché, emphasizing my lack of originality.
I kid myself I'm saying something worthwhile but
I deceive myself into thinking that I'm expressing something meaningful, but...
Here's to the heyday of paranoia
Celebrating the era of heightened paranoia as if it were a positive thing.
'Cos I am cliche
Reiterating that I am a cliché, using paranoia as a symbol of my predictability.
