Expectations
Chiliocosm Lyrics

(Woah)
Expressing surprise or shock

Misplaced my heart like I misplaced my keys
I have lost touch with my emotions and true desires, just as I often misplace physical objects

Got so many wants that I don't know my needs
I am consumed by materialistic desires, to the point where I have lost sight of my true necessities

Checkmate my self Like I'm a different breed
I constantly put myself in difficult situations, as if I am playing a game against myself and intentionally making it harder

Killing the best of me to buy the rest of me
I am sacrificing the most genuine parts of myself in order to obtain superficial qualities or possessions

Car crash
A metaphor for the impending disaster or negative consequences of my actions

I'm bracing for an impact (Woah)
I am preparing myself for the negative consequences or repercussions that will come from my choices

Half killed myself racing to stay caught up
I have exhausted myself by constantly striving to keep up with societal expectations and standards

We're snapping necks for social status
We are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it harms others, to climb the social hierarchy and gain recognition

Compete, conform in all this madness
We are engaged in a constant battle to outdo one another and fit into societal norms, despite the chaotic nature of it all

Yeah
An exclamation of agreement or acknowledgement

Before the expiration
Before it is too late or before time runs out

Can bliss be bought
Can true happiness and contentment be acquired through material possessions

Too much of everything, that makes me nothing
Having an excess of material wealth or possessions ultimately leads to a sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment

Ever clear these thoughts
To find clarity and understanding amidst the chaos and confusion

Grind me to dust
The pressures and demands of society are slowly wearing me down and eroding my true self

To keep up with them Jones
To constantly strive to match or surpass the perceived status or achievements of others

Rust
Symbolizing decay and deterioration, representing the negative effects of chasing after reputation and societal expectations

For reputation
For the sake of my image and how I am viewed by others

Envy and ego, and isolation that never ends
Feelings of jealousy and self-importance, accompanied by a perpetual sense of loneliness and detachment from others

Messiah complex while we drown in deep debt
Feeling like a savior or a chosen one, even though we are suffocating in overwhelming financial obligations
