Watching the Wheels
Embracing Life's Rhythm: "Watching the Wheels" Insights
Lyrics
People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
People perceive me as crazy for living life on my terms
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
Others offer various warnings in an attempt to protect me from failure or harm
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange
When I assert that I'm fine, they react with disbelief or confusion
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
They doubt my happiness since I've stopped conforming to societal norms or expectations
People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
People label me as lazy for spending time dreaming and not actively engaging
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
They offer advice hoping to guide or enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Despite their advice, I'm content observing the passing moments without participating actively
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball"
Others question my choice, suggesting I'm missing out on success or excitement
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I'm simply observing life's cycles without feeling the need to be part of the societal hustle
I really love to watch them roll
I find joy in observing life's continuous motion
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I've chosen to step away from the repetitive cycle of expectations and obligations
I just had to let it go
I consciously decided to release myself from that cycle
Ahhh, people ask me questions, lost in confusion
People ask me questions, but I feel lost in the confusion they create
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
I respond by emphasizing that problems have solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
They react with disbelief or concern, thinking I've become irrational
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
I reassure them that there's no rush; I'm simply taking my time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
Continuing to observe life's cycles without actively participating
I really love to watch them roll
Expressing joy in witnessing life's ongoing movement
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
Choosing to no longer be part of the repetitive cycle of life's demands
I just had to let it go
I deliberately let go of that cycle
I just had to let it go
Reiteration of the deliberate choice to let go
I just had to let it go
Final emphasis on the intentional act of letting go of societal pressures
