Lyrics
Anyway, I've given up finding people to adore

Anyway, give me a break
Requesting a pause or respite from something.
At least I wake up every day
Finding solace in the consistency of waking up daily.
(Okay)

A slice in the mouth is as sweet as can be

Goodbye to the mastodon, goodbye to the sheep (Bye-bye)

Anyway, I'm clinging on to the faces that I know
Clutching onto familiar faces amidst challenges or uncertainties.
Anyway, figure it out, or you gotta let it go

A slice in the mouth is as sweet as can be
Reiterating the paradoxical sweetness of experiencing pain or difficulty.
A life figured out is a tragedy
Reiterating that a life with everything figured out is a tragic circumstance.
