Lyrics
I'm swearing off
Feeling a determination to abstain or distance oneself from
The modern times
A rejection or disapproval of contemporary, present-day life
And chasing after days gone by
Pursuing moments and experiences from the past
I'm always staring at my phone
Constantly fixating on and using a mobile device
As if it's all I've ever known
Behaving as if the smartphone is the only familiar aspect of life
I wake up in my bed at night
Waking up during the night in bed
With voices shouting
Hearing loud voices causing fear or alarm
what a fright
Expressing a sense of terror or anxiety
I'm always busy like a bee
Constantly occupied or engaged, likened to a busy bee
I never have a moment free
Lacking any free or unoccupied moments
'Cause
Introducing a cause or reason for the subsequent lines
I can't get away
Unable to escape or break free
It's moving faster
Referring to the acceleration or quickening pace of life
Every single day
The perception that time is passing swiftly
Life goes on
Acknowledging the continuous progression of life
And I'm just trying to find
Attempting to discover or attain
A little bit of
A small portion of
Simple peace of mind
A state of tranquility or mental calmness
I'm fleeing to the sticks and trees
Escaping to rural areas with trees and vegetation
And running into permit fees
Facing bureaucratic obstacles in the form of required permits
To hear your voice is what I seek
Desiring to hear someone's voice
I'm a hunter out here
Metaphorically adopting the role of a hunter in a humble position
on my knees
In a position of humility, perhaps seeking guidance or solace
All I want is a moment's rest
A strong desire for a brief period of relaxation
And to out run persistent stress
Wanting to overcome ongoing and enduring pressure
As I sit here with an open mind
Being receptive and open-minded
My voice shouts out
The inner self expressing loudly or passionately
And my mouth cries that
The mouth vocalizing a sense of helplessness or frustration
I can't get away
Reiteration of the inability to escape or break free
It's moving faster
Reemphasizing the accelerating pace of life
Every single day
Reiterating the perception that time is passing swiftly
Life goes on
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the continuous progression of life
And I'm just trying to find
Reaffirming the attempt to discover or attain tranquility
A little bit of
Reaffirming the pursuit of a small portion of mental calmness
Simple peace of mind
Reiteration of the inability to escape or break free
I can't get away
Reemphasizing the accelerating pace of life
It's moving faster
Reiterating the perception that time is passing swiftly
Every single day
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the continuous progression of life
Life goes on
Reaffirming the attempt to discover or attain tranquility
And I'm just trying to find
Reaffirming the pursuit of a small portion of mental calmness
A little bit of
Reiteration of the inability to escape or break free
Simple peace of mind
Reemphasizing the accelerating pace of life
