Routine
Arrow Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More buying less money hope is dying
I never knew it was so close
Now I can't tell who was wrong
There has always been a problem
But I will be fine
It's all right
It's all right now
I will try
I will try
I will try
I can't hear
I can't hear
I can't hear you
It's too far away
Be, be what you want to be
Go, go where you want to go
Feel, feel what you want to feel
There is no need to be hold back
I never wanted to belong
I live in my own little world
There are too many groups
And too many dangerous plans
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right now
I will try
I will try
I will try
I can't hear
I can't hear
I can't hear you
It's too far away
Be, be what you want to be
Go, go where you want to go
Feel, feel what you want to feel
There is no need to be hold back
The song "Routine" by Arrow Haze talks about the monotonous and tedious nature of life that can leave one feeling unfulfilled, frustrated and powerless. The lyrics "More work less fun boredom tightens your life around, More buying less money hope is dying" highlight the struggles of a life where one is constantly working without experiencing the joys of living. The song seems to suggest that in the pursuit of material things, people often lose sight of what truly makes them happy and that their hopes and dreams become forgotten in the process.
The song also touches on the idea of individuality, as shown in the lyrics "I never wanted to belong, I live in my own little world, There are too many groups and too many dangerous plans." The lyrics suggest that the pressure to conform to society's expectations can be suffocating and that it is okay to embrace individuality and live in one's own way. The song encourages listeners to be themselves, pursue their own dreams and desires, and live life on their own terms rather than being held back by fear or societal pressures.
Overall, "Routine" is a song that emphasizes the need for self-discovery and individuality in a world that can be overwhelming and monotonous.
