Jaded. Realistic. Given up on teenage dreams. Been there, done that. Lyrics coming from the distorted echoes of a dull life. Salvation from home recording. A sly wit and the intoxication of irony.
Story behind the song
One morning, I woke up in my skanky student flat, having missed some worthless lecture like Philosophy, and the lyrics came to me in bed. It's about using my lack of motivation as inspiration for writing music, and the end of the song is like the flipside of that; being totally driven and missing the point of life.
Lyrics
I fell to earth, like it had been rehearsed,
See right through deja-vu and carpe diem,
Passed pacifist, don't envy what I missed,
One seventh away from perfection again,
I feel inspired in spite of me,
My single fault my apathy,
My lack of drive is driving me,
It's cold outside, it's forcing me to hide,
From my responsibilities,
I need caffeine, bring forth the sacred bean,
Alkaloid accelerates, controlling me,
I feel inspired in spite of me,
My single fault my apathy,
My lack of drive is driving me,
I feel inspired in spite of me,
My single fault my apathy,
My lack of drive is driving me,
Now every moment I sleep is a waste,
Counting the beats til I'm blue in the face,
Now I'm responsible, now I am me,
I've always suspected it's how things should be.
