Life Shouldn't Have Been Like This
Escape the Rut: Navigating Life's Discontent with The Original Motion Picture Band
Lyrics
As you wade through the crowds on a Monday
Reflecting on navigating through a busy crowd on a Monday.
The weekend like a weight on your soul
Feeling burdened by the lingering effects of the weekend on one's soul.
Your spirit crushed with the masses
Experiencing a sense of defeat along with the masses.
In this shithole of a town you call home
Expressing dissatisfaction with the town considered home.
Have you ever asked yourself
Pondering personal questions about life and choices.
Have you ever asked yourself
-Was there something someone was saying
Reflecting on missed opportunities and choices in the face of apathy.
As your apathy rained down?
-Some choice you should have been making
-While you just hung around
-I think I've just described myself
Admitting to identifying with the described situation.
I think I've just described myself
-Yeah I've just described myself
-Yeah I've just described myself
-All the bus stop windows you put through
Describing the act of defacing bus stop windows and the repercussions of past actions resurfacing.
The boredom you scrawled on the walls
-Past sins seep up through the pavement
-To drag you down once more
-Have you ever found yourself
Questioning personal existence and self-discovery.
Have you ever found yourself
-Dreaming of an escape like you should be
Dreaming of escape from mundane weekday life but feeling unheard or ignored.
From the weekday boredom that's life?
-Thinking "I'm not spending my life here"
-But your prayers fall on deaf ears
-I've lost belief in myself
Expressing a loss of belief in oneself.
I've lost belief in myself
-Life shouldn't have been like this
Stating a belief that life shouldn't be as it currently is.
All the fucked up things that you've been through
Describing the hardships faced, with failures reflected in surroundings.
Reflected in all that you saw
-Every street overflows with your failures
-And ghosts hide behind every door
-I want much more for myself
Expressing a desire for more in life.
I want much more for myself
