Lyrics
Things are getting just too cozy for me
Expressing discomfort with the current state of affairs, feeling too comfortable.
And I see people as they see me
Recognizing mutual perception with others.
Gonna break away and gain control
Intention to break away from the current situation and take charge.
You free your mind
Emphasizing the liberation of the mind.
You free your soul
Emphasizing the liberation of the soul.
I was the type who knocked at old men
Acknowledging past behavior, possibly confrontational towards older individuals.
(history's easy)
Reference to history being easy to judge.
Who together at tables sit and drink beer
Observing older individuals gathering to drink beer and socialize.
(somewhere is really)
Suggesting a place or situation that may not be fulfilling.
Then I saw that I was really the same
Realization of personal similarity with the people being observed.
So this link's breaking away from the chain
Decision to break away from a restrictive connection or pattern.
Away from the numbers
Expressing the desire to distance oneself from routine or conformity.
Away from the numbers
Reiteration of the desire to be 'Away from the numbers.'
Is where I'm gonna be
Stating the intended location of freedom from conformity.
Away from the numbers
Reiteration of the desire to be 'Away from the numbers.'
Away from the numbers
Stating the intended location of freedom from conformity.
Is where I am free
Emphasizing the freedom found away from conformity.
I was sick and tired of my little niche
Expressing dissatisfaction with a limited and unfulfilling existence.
Well gonna break away and find where life is
Deciding to break away in search of a more meaningful life.
And all those fools I thought were my friends
Realizing that supposed friends are not supportive or understanding.
(coaching is easy)
Reflecting on the ease of offering advice.
They now stare at me and don't see a thing
Not being recognized or understood by former friends.
(reality's so hard)
Highlighting the harshness of reality.
Till their life is over and they start to moan
Anticipating regret and complaints from those who didn't seize opportunities in life.
How they never had the chance to make good
Regret expressed for not making the most of opportunities.
Away from the numbers
Reiteration of the desire to be 'Away from the numbers.'
Away from the numbers
Stating the intended location of freedom from conformity.
Is where I'm gonna be
Reiteration of the desire to be 'Away from the numbers.'
Away from the numbers
Emphasizing the freedom found away from conformity.
(away from the numbers)
Repetition for emphasis.
Away from the numbers
Stating the intended location of freedom from conformity.
Is where I am free
Emphasizing the freedom found away from conformity.
Is where I am free
Repetition for emphasis.
Is where I'm gonna be
Stating the intended location of freedom.
Is reality
Summing up the harshness of reality.
Reality's so hard, reality's so hard
Emphasizing the difficulty of facing reality.
