Cubic Caesar
Virtual Solitude: Embracing Isolation in a World of Screens
Lyrics
My learning curve was so acute
Expressing a sharp and intense learning experience.
It formed a perfect circle
Symbolizing a complete and continuous cycle in the learning process.
My whole wide world was virtual so
Describing a predominantly digital or simulated world.
I sank back in my shell
Withdrawing from the external world and retreating into isolation.
It's 16 cubic feet and i
Referring to a confined personal space, emphasizing exclusion.
Shall keep you all outside
Intention to keep others at a distance or exclude them.
I have this screen before me and I click
Engaging with the digital world, possibly through a computer or device.
I watch paint dry it's such a waste
Expressing boredom or dissatisfaction with mundane activities.
I watch paint dry i fall from grace
Feeling a sense of failure or disappointment, falling from a perceived grace.
Oh me oh my i rest my case
Concluding an argument or statement, possibly with resignation.
I watch paint dry
Repetition of watching paint dry, emphasizing monotony.
Perhaps it's been a decade since
Highlighting a long period without physical contact with others.
I touched another person
Expressing social uncertainty and discomfort with personal interactions.
I was always so uncertain so
Preferring solitude due to uncertainty or insecurity.
I chose to stay alone
Choosing isolation over potential relationships or family.
And all the kids i never had
Imagining the children one might have had but did not.
They're standing right before me
Symbolic presence of unrealized offspring.
I hope that they'll forgive me as
Seeking forgiveness for the choice of solitude.
I turn to face the wall
Turning away from potential connections, facing self-imposed barriers.
It's such a waste i watch paint dry
Reiterating the monotony of watching paint dry as a waste of time.
I fall from grace oh me oh my
Expressing a sense of falling from grace or societal norms.
I watch paint dry i know that far away
Continuing to watch paint dry with awareness of distance from adventures.
Exists mysterious adventures
Acknowledging the existence of unknown and exciting experiences far away.
A life beyond uncensored where
Contrasting a life without censorship with the speaker's isolated reality.
There's nothing guaranteed it's not for me
Rejecting the unpredictability of an adventurous life.
Oh I'll live with it don't have the time
Accepting and coping with the chosen isolated lifestyle.
My schedule's full from noon til night
Busy schedule, indicating a lack of time for alternative choices.
It isn't great but I'll get by
Acknowledging the suboptimal nature of the current situation but coping.
