Lyrics
Is this everything you ever wanted in your life?
Questioning if the current situation aligns with desired life goals.
Is this what you worked for when you left it all behind?
Reflecting on the sacrifices made and whether they led to the present.
Is this just another sentimental fleeting thought?
Wondering if the current state is just a passing, sentimental idea.
Or exactly where you wished that you would be?
Asking if the present situation is exactly where one aspired to be.
Driving it all home were the things you had all wrong
Realizing misconceptions and mistakes in one's beliefs and decisions.
Thinking you were right, but learning all along
Believing in one's correctness but gradually learning from experiences.
You built up a wall that couldn't be climbed
Building a barrier or defense that proved insurmountable.
Grounded for so long, it's time to fly
Having been restricted for a long time, it's time for liberation or change.
You ended up right where you wanted
Achieving the desired goal but taking too much time to reach it.
It's just took too long to light it
Success came, but the process was slow to initiate.
You burn all quiet and mighty
Success is achieved with quiet strength and power.
People punch a clock even when they'd rather die
Observing people enduring a monotonous job despite inner struggles.
Put up with the bullshit just to keep your home alive
Tolerating difficulties to sustain a home and livelihood.
You gotta cash that paycheck at the end of every week
Emphasizing the necessity of working for a paycheck every week.
If it's not a sinking vessel, it's a leak
Highlighting that life's challenges can either be like a sinking vessel or a persistent leak.
You ended up right where you wanted
Reiterating the achievement of desired goals after a prolonged effort.
It just took too long to light it
Success took a long time to manifest, but it eventually did.
You burn all quiet and mighty
Success is attained with silent strength and might.
I could tell you liked it even more
Noticing someone enjoying the success even more.
A bigger smile on your face, you've never had before
Expressing immense happiness reflected in a broader smile.
It was unequivocal, what was said to me
Recalling a clear and straightforward communication.
I'm not a little cynical, I'm quite a lot, you see
Admitting to a significant level of cynicism.
I had to jump back in a life raft now
Returning to a safer, simpler existence, acknowledging fatigue in facing challenges.
A good swimmer but I got tired
Being skilled in handling difficulties but experiencing exhaustion.
Sometimes you need to float above the rising tide
Recognizing the need to stay afloat amidst life's challenges.
