Background Noise
Background Noise: A Symphony of Unheard Struggles
Lyrics
I'm on my guard
I am cautious and watchful
To keep it sweet and low
Maintaining a pleasant and quiet demeanor
While you're working hard
While you put in effort and work diligently
To figure out the guest list
Trying to determine the attendees
And send the cards
And sending invitations
And plan a dead man's wedding today
To plan a wedding for someone who has passed away
So soak it up
Absorb and enjoy the moment
Your life is but my dream
Your existence is like a dream of mine
That I've woken from
That I have awakened from
And fate's a big believer
Fate believes in humor and enjoyment
In jokes and fun
Life is now like a sitcom filled with jokes
So my life is a sitcom now
Questioning why it feels like I'm insignificant
Then why do I feel like background noise?
Being perceived as background noise
You want me around but it's not your choice
You desire my presence, but it's not your decision
If I'm just the sound that will fill some void
If I'm merely a sound filling an emptiness
To be locked away with the junk and toys
To be stored away with discarded things
I'm background noise
I am background noise
I fade to black
I become unnoticed or ignored
If I keep up my living
If I continue living in obscurity
Between the cracks
In the gaps or unnoticed spaces
I gave you all I had
I gave everything without expecting anything in return
Asked for nothing back
And received exactly what I anticipated—nothing
And that's exactly what I got
So pack up and leave
So pack the house
Invite the young believers
Grab the young believers
Share your location
Share your whereabouts
And present your polished stories
And throw your polished stories
To the crowd of voices
To the sea of shouts
If it's not their cheers, maybe it's just my background noise
But if it's not their cheering that you hear
You desire my presence, but it's not your decision
Then maybe it's just my background noise
If I'm merely a sound filling an emptiness
You want me around but it's not your choice
To be stored away with discarded things
If I'm just the sound that will fill some void
I am background noise
To be locked away with the junk and toys
-I'm background noise, yeah
-Background noise, yeah
I am cautious and watchful
I'm background noise, yeah
Maintaining a pleasant and quiet demeanor
I'm on my guard
While you put in effort and work diligently
To keep it sweet and low
Background noise
While you're working hard
You desire my presence, but it's not your decision
Background noise
If I'm merely a sound filling an emptiness
You want me around but it's not your choice
To be stored away with discarded things
If I'm just the sound that will fill some void
I am background noise
To be locked away with the junk and toys
-I'm background noise, yeah
-I'm background noise, yeah
-I'm background noise, yeah
