Lyrics
We all want what we can't have
We all desire things that are beyond our reach.
But exceptions were made when you came along
There were exceptions made when you entered the picture.
It was all about you
The focus was entirely on you.
And how you had nothing to do
You were disconnected from the situation.
You were born with a silver spoon
You were born into privilege.
In your mouth
Expressing privilege, metaphorically as a silver spoon in your mouth.
We fall down we're in the dirt again
We repeatedly fall into challenging circumstances.
We fall down we're in the dirt
We fall into difficulties and challenges.
We fall down we're in the dirt again
Reiteration of falling into hardship.
We fall down we're in the dirt
Continued emphasis on encountering hardship.
Seems like I've been here before
A sense of familiarity with this situation.
I look around I see everything
Taking stock of the surroundings, observing everything.
Like when you walked out the door
Recalling a moment when you departed.
You had a dream and you left to live it oh
You pursued a dream and went after it.
You left to live it oh
Emphasis on departing to pursue a dream.
We've had to climb such a long way up
We've struggled immensely to reach this point.
You've got the view from above
You enjoy a perspective from a privileged position.
We're now just part of the queue
We're merely seen as insignificant in comparison.
You think we haven't a clue
You believe we lack understanding or insight.
You born with a silver spoon
Reiteration of being born into privilege.
In your mouth
Metaphorically highlighting privilege.
We fall down we're in the dirt again
Repeatedly experiencing falling into hardship.
We fall down we're in the dirt
Facing challenges and difficulties.
We fall down we're in the dirt again
Continuing to fall into tough situations.
We fall down we're in the dirt
Encountering struggles and difficulties once more.
Seems like I've been here before
A feeling of déjà vu in this circumstance.
I look around I see everything
Observing the surroundings again.
Like when you walked out the door
Recalling a departure.
You had a dream and you left to live it oh
Pursuing a dream and leaving to fulfill it.
You left to live it oh
Emphasizing leaving to live out a dream.
You left to live it
Reiteration of leaving to fulfill a dream.
When you fell to earth
When you faced a downfall.
You came crashing down
You experienced a drastic failure or collapse.
Lost and never found
Feeling lost and unable to be recovered.
You didn't scream for help
You didn't seek assistance when you fell.
When you hit the ground
No outcry for help upon hitting rock bottom.
Now it's me who's lost for words
Now, I am at a loss for words.
