Lyrics

As far as I can remember

Reflecting on the past, expressing a long-standing perspective

Always been not for hire

Consistently avoiding being employed

Never meant for conformity

Rejecting conformity as a life principle

It doesn't seem to grow on me

Resistance to conformity is not diminishing over time


I don't want it

Expressing a lack of desire for something

I'd rather do this, all on my own

Preference for independent action and self-reliance

I don't need this

Not in need of a particular thing or situation

I want to make it, all on my own

Aspiring to achieve success independently


Learning fast to realize

Realization that freedom is invaluable

Freedom can't be compromised

Freedom is non-negotiable

Never lived for a mortgage

Rejecting conventional life choices like a mortgage

A free bird in a golden cage

Metaphor of being a free spirit in a constrained environment


I don't like it

Expressing dislike for something

I will get this, all on my own

Determination to achieve independently

I don't use this

Choosing not to utilize a particular resource or method

I'll get rid of it, all on my own

Commitment to eliminating unwanted elements independently


No time to waste

Emphasizing the value of time

No need to brake

Not slowing down or stopping

No care to age

Indifference towards aging

All to embrace

Embracing all aspects of life

Don't hesitate (don't hesitate)

Encouragement not to hesitate

Don't lose the faith (don't lose the faith)

Encouragement to maintain faith

Don't fear the wave (fear the wave)

Encouragement not to fear challenges

All to escape (escape-ape-ape)

Alluding to escaping constraints or limitations


Freelance has a price

Highlighting the cost of freelancing

You have to hang on tight

Stressing the need for perseverance in freelancing

Earning what you lose

Stating the necessity of earning back losses

Deadline is routine

Emphasizing routine and deadlines in freelancing

Commit to self-esteem

Emphasizing commitment to self-worth

Don't count the scratch and bruise

Acceptance of challenges and hardships

Got to give some blood

Metaphorical sacrifice for gaining sustenance

To get something to grub

Investing effort and sacrifice for survival

Down payment blues

Metaphor for facing financial challenges


My life is such

Describing life situation

And that way, I'm on my own

Emphasizing independence in living

I don't need much

Content with minimal needs

It fits me right and nothing's wrong

Feeling comfortable with one's life choices


No time to waste

Reiteration of the value of time

No need to brake

Continued momentum without slowing down

No care to age

Indifference towards aging

All to embrace

Embracing all aspects of life

Don't hesitate (don't hesitate)

Encouragement not to hesitate

Don't lose the faith (don't lose the faith)

Encouragement to maintain faith

Don't fear the wave (don't fear the wave)

Encouragement not to fear challenges

All to escape

Alluding to escaping constraints or limitations


I don't want it

Expressing a lack of desire for something

I don't need this

Not in need of a particular thing or situation

I don't like it, no

Expressing dislike for something

No, no, no

Repeated expression of refusal or rejection
