The Secret Life of Me
Unlocking Hidden Realms: The Secret Life Explored
Lyrics
When I fall asleep at night
Expressing a desire for an escape during sleep
I wish my brain could sneak away
Wishing for the mind to wander freely
Increase my pace and hop the gate
Wanting to accelerate departure to another mental state
And travel to another plane
Yearning for a journey to a different realm or state of being
First I'd find my evil twin
Imagining encountering a darker side or alter ego
Then I will make best friends with it
Desiring a bond with this darker self
We'd both hate the same things
Anticipating shared dislikes and idle chatter with this alter ego
And waste some hours talking shit
Passing time engaging in casual conversation
We could write some songs
Imagining creative collaborations
Joel would be impressed
Seeking approval or recognition from someone named Joel
We complete each other's lines
Feeling an inherent connection in creativity
Because our stupid brains connect
Brains working in sync to complement each other
But because that our serotonin would crash
Expecting a crash in mood due to neurotransmitter imbalance
At approximately the same time
Anticipating simultaneous emotional decline
And we both would need a nap
Recognizing the need for rest
Goddamn
Expressing frustration or emphasis
Sunbathe
Reflecting on a desire for an alternative life, feeling time constraints, yearning for a different existence
Looking like a Sunday
-Wishing for a someday
-I could run away like that
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea
-Someday maybe on a Sunday
-I can sit and sunbathe
-I could run away like that
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh oh
-I've seen a place I'd like to stay
Imagining a distant place, discussing escape with sunglasses as metaphorical protection
Nirvana, but it's far away
-Yeah, it might take a couple planes
-And parachutes for my escape
-Jump face-first into the sun
-We've got the same sunglasses on
-My solar eyes grow polarized
-But the blinding light is so much fun
-Yeah, maybe paradise
Speculating that paradise might reside within
Is somewhere deep inside
Feeling content in a secluded inner world, finding comfort in isolation
The halls or walls
-Where I've spent all my time
-Building my whole life
-Where I feel alright
-'Cause I never wanna leave the secret life of me
Embracing the secrecy of personal satisfaction and contentment
The secret life of me
-Sunbathe
Continued contemplation of longing for escape and the sensation of time slipping away, seeking solace in dissociation and secrecy
Looking like a Sunday
-Wishing for a someday
-I could run away like that
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea
-Someday maybe on a Sunday
-I can sit and sunbathe
-I could run away like that
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh, oh
-I feel like I'm running out of time
-Real life never feels like it's mine
-So I'll dissociate until I'm fine
-Until I'm fine
-I keep my eyes wide shut
-Live a secret life for fun
-Away from anyone and everyone
-And someday I will Sunbathe
-Looking like a Sunday
-Wishing for a someday
-I could run away like that
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea (feels like I'm running out of time)
-Someday maybe on a Sunday
-I can sit and sunbathe
-I could run away like that (away like that)
-Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
-'Cause I'm feeling like I'm running out of time, oh, oh
