Lyrics

I got 60 years to make it all happen

The speaker reflects on having 60 years to achieve life goals.

And I can't even pay electricity bills

Financial struggles are hindering the ability to pay electricity bills.

Got another 10 years to feel young again

There's a desire to regain a sense of youth within the next 10 years.

So I'm sleeping around and I'm swallowing pills

The speaker engages in self-destructive behaviors, such as promiscuity and drug use, to cope.

My head is a mess

The speaker expresses mental turmoil and confusion.

My head is a mess

-

I watch cars go by on the motorway station

Observation of life passing by, both on a motorway and through recorded experiences.

I watch life go by on a videotape

-

Spent a night in the woods to find direction

The speaker spent time in nature seeking direction but remains uncertain about the future.

But I don't know where to go

-

I don't know where to go oh oh

Emphasizes the uncertainty and lack of direction in the speaker's life.

The mall closed down and my friends all left

The speaker's social circle diminishes, and self-loathing intensifies.

The pine trees sway and I hate myself

-

Keep dreaming of the apocalypse

The speaker dreams of apocalyptic scenarios, possibly reflecting inner fears.

The internet says it means I'm scared

Reference to online interpretations of dreams as a source of anxiety.

My head is a mess

Reiteration of mental distress.

I watch cars go by on the motorway station

Continued observation of life, this time emphasizing the disconnect through a videotape.

I watch life go by on a videotape

Spent a night in the woods to find direction

Despite the night in the woods, the speaker remains lost and unsure.

But I don't know where to go

I don't know where to go oh oh

And maybe it's all in my head, all in my head, all in my head

I'll never be anyone

The speaker expresses a belief that they will never achieve significance.

And I'll never be anywhere but here

Emphasizes a sense of being stuck or confined to the current situation.

Oh, maybe it's all in my head, all in my head, all in my head

I'll never be anyone

And I'll never be anywhere but here

Continued observation of life, suggesting a passive role in one's own existence.

I watch life go by on a videotape
