Consciousness
Chris.SU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why trade my time for only dollar signs?
And wake up hating everyday, scared something will happen that will take my cash away (nah)
I give my life unto this thing I love
Creating mirrors out of audio
Tomorrow's just another day, living in the moment all the fear just melts away, yeah
Are we awake or sleeping through this life?
Are we awake or sleeping through this life?
It all depends upon on our state of mind
Our lives are worth more than a dollar right?
Why trade our time for only dollar signs?
The market's fickle anyway, prices going up but wages always stay the same (yeah)
I share my life with friends and family
Thankful for every opportunity
Water my mind and watch it grow, meditate and step inside my conscious' corridors
Are we awake or sleeping through this life?
Circumstances are like levels for our state of mind
Are we awake or sleeping through this life?
When we lose it all we open up our eyes
Are we awake? Are we awake? Are we awake? Are we awake? yeah
Are we awake? Are we awake? Are we awake? Are we awake? yeah
Everyday man I go hard
Till Ferrari's are in my garage
What trouble will all of this cause?
This goal in my head's a mirage
I'm not Michelangelo
I'm not Michelangelo
But I'm in a new Renaissance
Yeah I'm in a new Renaissance
Everyday man I go hard
Till Ferrari's are in my garage
What trouble will all of this cause?
This goal in my head's a mirage
I'm not Michelangelo
I'm not Michelangelo
But I'm in a new Renaissance
Yeah I'm in a new Renaissance
