Lyrics

As printed on the original Millennial Thing “Words & Music” page; the remix may differ.

a song of self-realization

It’s six o’clock, time to rise
She wipes the groggy sleep out of her eyes
Half-past the hour, she’s out the door
Rush hour starts just like the day before
She gets to work, starts the routine
Greetings, meetings, corporation scene
The day flies by, she’s out at five
Traffic jams she’s stuck there where she drives
She’s gotta save herself from the thing she’s doin’
Save herself from her own life
Save herself find the dream she was pursuing
Save herself and get it right, she’s gotta get it right
The trade-off’s clear, she justifies
Gotta work or else be poor and die
There’s bills to pay, there’s things to buy
The trap she’s made perpetuates the lie
She’s gotta save herself from the thing she’s doing
Save herself from her own life
She’s gotta save herself find the dream she was purusing
Save herself and get it right, she’s gotta get it right
There’s a monster in the closet she can’t see when she’s awake
It comes out when she is sleeping in her dreams
And it wakes her in the darkness and she lies there feeling helpless
Wondering where her life is going, what it means
What can it mean?
Her life flies by, destiny calls
She feels trapped inside her prison walls
And so she asks what freedom means?
The answer isn’t money, so it seems
She’s gotta save herself, from the thing she’s doing
Save herself from her own life
Save herself find the dream she was pursuing
Save herself and get it right
She’s gotta get it right
