Stone Age
Escape to the Stone Age: A Reflection on Modern Constraints
Lyrics
I'm sick of looking in the mirror
I feel a sense of dissatisfaction or discomfort when reflecting on myself.
Because I know society's rules took over me
I believe societal expectations and norms have taken control of my life.
And I hate losing control over myself for making impressions on others
I dislike losing control of my actions just to make an impression on others.
And my finger sliding down my touch screen
I am engaged with my smartphone, scrolling down the screen with my finger.
And I can't I can't stop it from moving
I find it difficult to stop the continuous scrolling motion on my phone.
Maybe I can't, I can't I like it or not I don't know anymore
I'm uncertain whether I like or dislike the situation I'm in.
I'm bored, I'm bored
I am feeling bored.
So I'll just keep watching
To cope with boredom, I'll continue watching something.
An 8 second shot of an ape smoking pot
I watch a short video of an ape smoking pot for distraction.
And forget about the views around me
I ignore the surroundings and views around me.
The crew around me
I disconnect from the people around me (the crew).
The birds out the window that fly and shit on my car
Birds outside the window defecate on my car.
Continue to shit on my car
The bird droppings continue to be a problem.
When the sunsets and the sun rises
Reflecting on sunsets and sunrises, I feel uncertain.
I don't know anymore
My emotions and thoughts are in turmoil.
Sometimes I wish we get back to the stone age
Sometimes, I desire a return to a simpler, primal era - the stone age.
Get refreshed, rebuilt
I wish for a fresh start, a rebuilding of life.
Run from the lions
Expressing a desire to escape and run away from challenges (lions metaphorically).
Be Tarzans be flying
Yearning for a carefree and adventurous life, akin to Tarzan.
Be moving on trees
Desiring a life connected to nature, moving freely among trees.
That's what I think about sometimes
Contemplating these thoughts regularly.
And yet I'm still here
Despite these thoughts, I remain in my current situation.
With ears plugged like disclaimers don't bother me
I am deliberately ignoring external influences, like disclaimers.
Why should we talk your phone just blinked
Questioning the importance of a phone call interruption.
And made a sound
Highlighting the distraction caused by phone notifications.
I saw it, I heard it cause it's from me
Recognizing the impact of phone notifications because they are from oneself.
I ran from reality
I escape from the harshness of reality.
So I'm bored, I'm bored
Experiencing boredom again.
So I'll just keep watching
To cope with boredom, I'll continue watching the distracting video.
An 8 second shot of an ape smoking pot
I watch the short video of the ape smoking pot once more.
And forget about the views around me
Ignoring the surrounding views and focusing on the distraction.
The crew around me
Disconnecting from the people around me (the crew) again.
The birds out the window that fly and shit on my car
Birds continue to defecate on my car, symbolizing ongoing issues.
Continue to shit on my car
The persisting problem of bird droppings on my car.
When the sunsets the sun rises
Reflecting on the uncertainty during sunsets and sunrises.
I don't know anymore
My emotions and thoughts are still in turmoil.
Sometimes I wish we get back to the stone age
Reiterating the desire to go back to the stone age for a simpler life.
Get refreshed, rebuilt
Repeating the wish for a fresh start and rebuilding of life.
Run from the lions
Reiterating the desire to escape challenges and run from difficulties.
Be Tarzans be flying
Reiterating the longing for a carefree and adventurous life like Tarzan.
Be moving on trees
Reiterating the desire for a life connected to nature, moving freely on trees.
That's what I think about sometimes
Continuing to contemplate these thoughts regularly.
