The Modern Art of Hitting Snooze
Embracing Life's Carousel: A Journey of Ambition and Escape
Lyrics
I felt like I was getting nowhere fast, for so long
I felt like I was making no progress quickly for an extended period.
For so long
Reiteration of the feeling of stagnation over time.
But now that I'm busy, I've got all these plans
Now that I'm busy, I have ambitious plans.
It feels like a joke that I'm always the butt of
It seems ironic that I'm always the subject of jokes despite my efforts.
So I'll write a book and I'll publish it myself
I'll create and independently publish a book.
I'll write a movie and I'll star in every role
I'll write and star in every role of a movie.
But when I get the chance
Despite opportunities, I choose to sleep and repeat.
I'll just sleep and repeat
Emphasizing the cycle of sleeping and repeating.
And I will write a list and when I
I'll make a list, but upon returning home, I'll forget about it.
Get home, I'll forget all about it cause
Every day is a new opportunity, but I tend to forget my plans.
Every day is a new page in the book
Each day is like a new page in the book of life, urging to be lived.
Of the only life you have, so live it
A call to live life fully rather than pretending to be someone else.
Or I'll just pretend to be someone else instead
Alternatively, I may choose to pretend to be someone else.
And it's been too long since I did anything worth noting
It's been a while since I've done anything notable.
So hold the applause, oh hold the applause
Request to withhold applause due to the lack of recent achievements.
I lost my direction, so now I'm stuck in rush hour traffic
I've lost my way and find myself in rush hour traffic.
Because the scenic route was too much effort
Avoiding the scenic route due to its perceived difficulty.
And it's been too long since I did anything worth noting
Similar to line 14, emphasizing a lack of recent noteworthy actions.
So hold the applause, hold the applause
Requesting again to hold applause in light of the repeated lack of achievement.
I lost my direction and now I'm
I've lost my direction and find myself circling without progress.
Circling around and round
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of being stuck and going in circles.
And round and round, and round and round again
Reiteration of the circular and stagnant state.
And I
Emphasizing the ongoing, circular situation.
And I
Repetition of the previous line.
And I will write a list and when I
Repeating the cycle of making a list and forgetting about it.
Get home, I'll forget all about it cause
Reiterating the tendency to forget plans upon returning home.
Every day is a new page in the book
Every day is an opportunity, encouraging living life fully.
Of the only life you have, so live it
Repeating the call to live life authentically and fully.
Or I'll just pretend to be someone else instead
Alternatively, considering pretending to be someone else.
