Example (in my case):
Lyrics:
I was pulling out my hair
The day I cut the deal
Chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy?
But my life was just about to change
One life pretending to be
The cow that got the cream
(I don't feel like a success, so I trick myself and other people in my life to think that I am one by pretending to feel like I've made it to where I want to be at this stage in my life.)
Oh, everybody said
Marina is a dreamer
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
(A lyric I thing that translates to all of us. People press their opinions onto you and tend to tell you how far you can or can't make it in this world.
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem is my problem
That I never am happy
Is my problem, is my problem
That I never will succeed
(It's my problem to deal with all of this, not anybody else's. While I appreciate help, I don't want anyone making it their mission to get me where I need to go or to make me feel a certain way, or to really interfere in my life to a degree that makes me feel like they're pushing themselves into matters that don't concern them.
Are you satisfied with an average life
Do I need to lie to make my way in life
(One of the things that I've come to realize over the years is that an average life is not what I want, but I'm absolutely positive that if I do everything to a T and honestly, I'd end up with one. It isn't what I hope to achieve. I don't want an average life, and I'm not satisfied with one.)
High achiever don't you see
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I am a control freak
(I don't think I'm a control freak, but I do think that I want things to be my way and well within my control. It bothers me when I can't directly control the outcome of something.
Driven a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
Cause it's my problem
If I wanna pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to
Smoke and drink and swear
It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
It's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die
(Again, it's my problem to deal with all of this, not anybody else's.)
Are you satisfied with an average life
Do I need to lie to make my way in life
Are you satisfied with an easy ride
Once you cross the line
Will you be satisfied?
Sad inside
In this life
I'm satisfied praying
Sad inside
In this life
I'm satisfied waiting
Are you satisfied with an average life
Do I need to lie to make my way in life
Are you satisfied with an easy ride
Once you cross the line
Will you be satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
