Weight of the World
Cigar Lyrics

You're the only one looking out for you
No one else is responsible for your well-being, but you.

Everyone else is looking for second chances
People often seek forgiveness or redemption for their own mistakes.

After all the things that you go through
Despite facing difficult circumstances or challenges,

They want to pawn off all their problems
Others may attempt to shift their burdens onto you.

They can't solve on you
These issues are ones they cannot fix themselves.

I don't want to feel the weight of the world
The singer does not want to bear the heavy responsibilities and pressures of life.

There's too much pressure but there's time
Although life is full of stress and strain, there is still time to make changes.

To find a better way to speak my mind
The artist is searching for a more effective way to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Than complaining and whining
Rather than constantly expressing negativity and lamenting their struggles.

It's your pressure you're defining
The weight of one's stress is defined by their own perspective and approach to it.

Can't rely on all those people
It is unwise to depend on others for your happiness and success.

To do the same for you
You cannot expect or demand that others devote their resources and energy to your endeavors.

Independence makes you strong
Being self-sufficient and self-reliant fosters personal resilience and strength.

A willingness to carry on,
One's determination and persistence can keep them moving forward despite obstacles.

But you don't even try
The singer is criticizing someone for not making an effort to improve their situation.

Try and try to get things right
It may take multiple attempts or approaches to achieve success.

But it's a cause that's been lost from the start
The goal or objective may be unattainable or unrealistic from the beginning.

I won't know what to think
The singer is indecisive or uncertain about the situation or outcome.

When the quicksand around us
The dangerous or uncertain environment surrounding us,

Sinks everything that's been standing in our way
Destroys all the progress that has been made.

I don't know if we'll succeed
The artist is unsure if they will be able to attain their goal or objective.

In satisfying everyone's needs
It may be impossible to meet the desires and requirements of every person or stakeholder.

'Cause clearly there's not enough hours in the day
The time available to accomplish tasks or devote to an endeavor is limited.

Just to wake up
Even the act of getting out of bed can feel overwhelming and exhausting.

No longer enough to tackle
The singer lacks the motivation or energy to face their challenges.

Every day so I won't
As a result, they choose to avoid or ignore their responsibilities.

You've got it rough
The singer acknowledges the listener's difficult circumstances.

And all you can do is sit around
However, the artist criticizes the listener for not taking action or making progress.

And complain well don't
Advising the listener to refrain from focusing on the negative and to instead take positive steps to improve their situation.

I don't want to feel the weight of the world
Reinforcement of the singer's reluctance to assume the heavy burden of life's demands.
