Fill My Pockets
Chasing Time, Filling Pockets: The Struggle Unveiled
Lyrics
It's not like I don't want to hurry
Expressing a desire to move quickly but hindered by stress.
But the stress might shut me down
Feeling overwhelmed to the point of potential shutdown due to stress.
It's like I'm working 11-7
Describing a work schedule from 11 to 7.
Making time, and then counting it down
Balancing time commitments and counting down the hours.
Obligations I never wanted
Having obligations that were not desired initially.
But I need them here right now
Acknowledging the current necessity of those unwanted obligations.
It's kind of sick that when I'm away
Reflecting on rearranging the week when away, suggesting a strong connection.
I move my whole week around
Highlighting the impact of distance on daily life.
All day
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the struggle.
Just to get paid
Stating the primary motivation for the effort is financial gain.
But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets
Expressing a sense of urgency in filling pockets with earnings.
Running out of time just to fill my pockets
Reiterating the pressure of time in accumulating wealth.
With you, I might be fine, I can say I chose it
Finding solace and contentment in a relationship.
Working all the time, I can say it's worth it
Acknowledging the worth of continuous work for the relationship.
But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets
Repeating the time pressure in the pursuit of financial goals.
Running out of time just to get it over with
Expressing a desire to conclude the financial pursuit quickly.
You and I are fine, I can say I chose this
Affirming the relationship's strength despite time constraints.
Working all the time, I can say I chose this
Recognizing the value of hard work for the relationship.
I guess
Indicating uncertainty or contemplation about the situation.
Wish it were hard to say why I do this
Expressing difficulty in explaining the motivation behind actions.
But the reason's so painfully clear
Highlighting a clear but possibly painful reason for the actions.
I can't help an empty stomach
Drawing a parallel between hunger and the unavoidable need for work.
Like I can't help seeing you
Comparing the inevitability of work with the inevitability of seeing a loved one.
It's not like it's that unpleasant
Acknowledging that work is not unpleasant but is a necessity.
But if I didn't need this
Speculating on a worry-free life if the current work-related need didn't exist.
I'd have no worries
Expressing a desire to stay at home and avoid work-related concerns.
I just want to stay home
Repeating the desire to stay home and avoid work-related responsibilities.
I want to stay home
Reiterating the preference for a homebound lifestyle.
I want to stay and find my friends
Desiring to spend time with friends and engage in social activities.
And we will all stay up late
Envisioning late-night activities with friends.
And sleep through the day
Imagining a carefree lifestyle, sleeping during the day.
But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets
Repeating the urgency in filling pockets with earnings.
Running out of time just to fill my pockets
Reiterating the time pressure in financial pursuits.
With you, I might be fine, I can say I chose it
Finding comfort and satisfaction in the relationship despite time constraints.
Working all the time, I can say it's worth it
Affirming the value of hard work for the relationship.
But I'm running out of time just to fill my pockets
Repeating the time pressure in the pursuit of financial goals.
Running out of time just to get it over with
Expressing a desire to conclude the financial pursuit quickly.
You and I are fine, I can say I chose this
Affirming the strength of the relationship despite time constraints.
Working all the time, I can say I chose this
Recognizing the value of hard work for the relationship.
I guess
Repeating a sense of uncertainty or contemplation about the situation.
