Buffering
Embracing Life's Buffer: A Love Story in the Fast Lane
Lyrics
Everyone's movin so fast nowadays
Modern society is characterized by a fast pace.
Always got something to do
People always have tasks or activities to engage in.
Plans and agendas
Individual schedules and organized activities.
Goal and addendums
Purpose and additional elements to plans.
Numbers we're trying to prove
We're focused on proving ourselves by numbers or achievements.
And they tell you to move a certain pace
Pressure to maintain a particular speed or progress.
Make sure to trend on the way
Advisement to stay trendy while progressing.
But I know I don't need to ride the waves
Choosing not to conform to societal norms of advancement.
When I've got someone like you to say
Valuing companionship over rapid progress.
That I'd rather be buffering if I'm spending that time with you
Preferring to spend time in a relaxed state (buffering) with a loved one than being occupied with other activities.
Hand in hand, my forever best friend
Emphasizing a close, enduring friendship.
I don't wanna skip this view
Not wanting to miss or overlook the present moment.
No, I don't mind the buffering
Acceptance of pauses or delays for the sake of togetherness.
If we could take a picture
Desire to capture and preserve a moment in time.
Freeze the moment in place
Wanting to freeze a special moment without external interference.
They'd want us to post it and chat and discuss
Observing society's inclination to immediately share moments online.
A mirror pressed up to our faces
Feeling the pressure to conform to societal expectations of self-representation.
But this is a two-seated bicycle
Metaphorically representing a shared journey where there's no hurry.
And we're in no form of a rush
Not being rushed or pressured.
No one is willing to slow down enough to ever keep up with us
Others are too busy to match the pace of their relationship.
That I'd rather be buffering if I'm spending that time with you
Reiterating the preference for spending time together over rapid progress.
Hand in hand, my forever best friend
Highlighting a lasting friendship.
I don't wanna skip this view
Insistence on cherishing the current experience.
This is our secret euphoria
Describing a hidden, personal happiness or joy.
A smile right down to our souls
Experiencing deep happiness within their beings.
And I'm simply needing this light fuzzy feeling to stay
Desiring to sustain a pleasant, light-hearted feeling.
No, I don't mind the buffering
Accepting delays or interruptions for the sake of happiness.
Soon this time will come to an end
Acknowledging the transience of this blissful period.
Are you thankful for how it was spent?
Pondering whether the time spent together is appreciated.
Soon this time will come to an end
Reiteration of the impending end of this special time.
Was it really about where you went?
Reflecting on the essence of the experience, not just its location.
Soon this time will come to an end
Questioning whether the time could have been better utilized.
Would you change how it was spent?
Considering alterations to the way time was spent.
Soon this time will come to an end
Emphasizing the imminent end and the desire to avoid remorse.
I don't wanna have these regrets
Choosing to avoid regrets from the time spent.
I'd rather be buffering if I'm spending that time with you
Reaffirmation of preferring to be together, even if it means delaying other activities.
Hand in hand, my forever best friend
Stressing the enduring nature of their friendship.
I don't wanna skip this view
Insisting on enjoying the present moment.
This is our secret euphoria
Reiteration of the private, joyful state they share.
A smile right down to our souls
Feeling happiness deep within their beings.
And I'm simply needing this light fuzzy feeling to stay
Desiring the continuation of a light, pleasant feeling.
No, I don't mind the buffering
Acceptance of delays or interruptions for the sake of happiness.
