Half Life
Djo Lyrics

I fight the urge to search my name
I resist the temptation to look myself up online, hoping to find a better version of myself out there.

There's a better me, I swear
I am convinced that there is a better version of myself that I can become.

But curiosity
However, I still feel curious and tempted to search for information about myself.

I see
I realize now.

I let my ego get the best of me
I allowed my pride and self-importance to control me.

In the age of excess
In a time where there is too much of everything.

Less may be best for me
Having less things and living a simpler life might be better for me.

God, it makes me sad
It's so disheartening.

We're the last to know
We're always the ones who find out last.

The world is changing
The world is constantly evolving.

And upgrading
And becoming better.

Faster than we can control
More quickly than we can keep up with or manage.

Sick of living in the old days?
Are you tired of living in the past?

Mind burdened by the old ways?
Are you weighed down by old-fashioned ideas and methods?

Keep trying to forget about it?
Are you trying to move on and let go of the old ways?

Watch a video, don't fret about it (no)
Instead of worrying about the past, distract yourself by watching a video.

You don't need it, why you want it? (Want it)
You don't have to keep holding onto the past, so why do you want to?

I don't see you moving on, kid (on kid)
I don't see you transitioning to a new way of thinking and acting.

No, I don't see you moving on
I really don't see you changing your ways.

Now I see
Now I understand.

I let these people dig their hooks in me
I allowed other people to manipulate me and control me.

And I consider myself a fool
And I realize that I was foolish for allowing it to happen.

Plugged in
Connected to technology and media all the time.

Half life
A life that is incomplete and unfulfilled.

God, you're a fool
You are so naive and foolish.

You think these people really care for you?
Do you seriously believe that these people actually care about you?

You really think they will be there for you?
Do you honestly believe that they will be there for you in your time of need?

That's a half life
Living your life for other people and not yourself is not really living at all.

I know you
I am familiar with you and who you are.

I love you
I care about you deeply and have affection for you.

I want you
I desire you and want to be with you.

I need you
I depend on you and can't imagine living without you.

You complete me (you complete me)
You make me feel whole and happy (a reference to the movie Jerry Maguire).

I adore you (I adore you)
I think you are amazing and wonderful (repeated for emphasis).

I adore you (I adore you)
I think you are amazing and wonderful (repeated for emphasis).

I adore you (I adore you)
I think you are amazing and wonderful (repeated for emphasis).

I adore you
I think you are amazing and wonderful.
