The song is about being trapped in a cycle of living a life which you don't enjoy, and the actions the individual in the song made almost made their future inevitable.
I wrote the song between July-October 2019 and was recorded between April 15; 17-18 of 2020. I then released the song to Souncloud on April 20, 2020.
The reason I'm releasing it now on Newgrounds (and YouTube), is because I recently updated the artwork of the song (due to the original one being quite sloppy), and to put it on more platforms in general. I also wanted to share it with the Weezercord listening party.
The Artwork:
(Also, if you want to use the song for anything, you can contact me. I'll most likely say yes for most projects)
Oh and the lyrics:
You didn’t want an “average” life
To work and work all day and night
Making just enough to get right by
But even then it makes you sigh
Don’t want to be another sheep
Instead of trying to stand out
You didn’t take that leap
I can see
Everything I’ve done
All the things I’ve said
Have just seemed now to gone to waste
And it seems
Just impossible
To escape this prolonged rut
You always strived to do your best
But didn’t stand out from the rest
Time and time again you say
“Why did I chose this path?”
I can see
Everything I’ve done
All the things I’ve said
Have just seemed now to gone to waste
And it seems
Just impossible
To escape this prolonged rut
Trying to deny it doesn’t help
It’ll only make it worse for yourself
Think about doing something else?
Well… YOU’LL BE BROKE!
Don’t want to be another sheep
Instead of trying to stand out
You didn’t take that leap
I can see
Everything I’ve done
All the things I’ve said
Have just seemed now to gone to waste
And it seems
Just impossible
To escape this prolonged rut
