Level Sedentary
Embracing Inertia: The Sedentary Symphony by The Empty Page
Lyrics
Got no inclination to drag myself out of my bed
Expressing a lack of desire to get out of bed
Caught in glue trap gnawing at my leg
Feeling trapped or stuck, metaphorically likened to a glue trap
I'm flattened on my belly
Physically low, possibly lying down
Staring at the telly
Engaged in passive activities, specifically watching TV
Oprah, Ricky, Jerry
Listing TV shows like Oprah, Ricky, Jerry, indicating a routine
I'm sedentary
Describing a sedentary lifestyle
Got no inspiration fizzing in my empty glass
No creative or motivational energy, symbolized by an empty glass
Somehow i always miss my motivation class
Frequently missing opportunities for motivation
I'm flattened on my belly
Repetition of physical state, emphasizing inertia
Flat like February
Comparing flatness to February, possibly indicating a dull or lifeless state
Bed like a mortuary
Bed symbolically associated with death, reinforcing a lack of activity
I'm sedentary
Reiterating the sedentary lifestyle
Security smothers me
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed by a sense of security
It doesn't know its own strength
Security is powerful but unaware of its impact
And oh I can't breath
Expressing difficulty in breathing, possibly metaphorical
That's my level. I'm leaden, I'm tethered, I'm levelled out
Describing a personal level of being heavy, restricted, and even
That's my level. I'm leathered, unleavened, I'm levelled out
Continuation of the description of the personal level, using wordplay
I'm Vonnegut I'm Plath, I'm Proust, I'm Bonnie Grape, I'm Charlie Brown
Identifying with literary and cultural figures, possibly suggesting complexity
Sometimes I want to sleep forever
Expressing a desire for eternal rest or escape
