Lyrics

Everybody’s here but I don’t see

Feeling disconnected from the people present

Anyone I know

Not recognizing anyone among the attendees

The lights are off I’m in the dark

Surrounded by uncertainty or lack of understanding

Ready to go

Prepared or willing to depart


It’s a real whos who out there

Recognizing notable personalities around

And I wonder why I even came

Questioning the purpose of being present

Cause breathing someone else’s airs

Experiencing discomfort in another's environment

A younger man’s game

Feels out of place or inappropriate for their age


I don’t wanna be

Unwillingness to change significantly

Much different than I’m already trying to be

Resisting alteration from current self-improvement

The same thing right now

Desiring consistency in the present moment


I wish you would go outside and walk around the block

Wishing someone else would leave to ease departure

Maybe then I could go home and try to sleep it off

Seeking a chance to leave and recover from discomfort


They work the room

Observing others actively engaging with the surroundings

They jump through hoops

Putting in effort to please or entertain others

They never get enough

Never feeling satisfied with the interaction


I used to be like that too

Previously engaging in similar behaviors but quitting

But I gave it up

Choosing to abandon certain behaviors or routines


A dozen oysters and they're waiting to be shucked

Metaphorically waiting for experiences but feeling satiated

But I've had enough, enough, enough

Expressing having had enough of certain experiences

Had enough

Reiterating the feeling of having had sufficient experiences


I don’t wanna be

Reiteration of reluctance to change significantly

Much different than I’m already trying to be

Resistance to altering current self-improvement efforts

The same thing right now

Desire for consistency in the current situation


I wish you would go outside and walk around the block

Desire for someone's departure to facilitate leaving

Maybe then I could go home and try to sleep it off

Seeking an opportunity to leave and recover from discomfort


Try to sleep it off

Intending to recover or cope by sleeping

Yeah

Reiteration of the intention to recover through sleep

Try to sleep it off, sleep it off

Encouraging oneself to recover or cope through sleep

Sleep it off

Reiterating the intention to recover or cope through sleep
