Vacation
Generifus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I wouldn't be just a stick in the mud on vacation
I can't relax, its like the stress is my best medication
Someone should come knock me out
Yeah, I'd be better for it
The rules are written in secret
And I will take the time to learn them
And as long as we stick to them
I got a job
Know my place
I'm not leaving my station
You say that's just what they want
Well I don't care
I want it too
After I do what they want for a while I'll be wasted
And I'll be so ready to take that stress free vacation
The rules are written in secret and I will take the time to learn them
And as long as we stick to them
No one we know will go missing
In "Vacation" by Generifus, the singer is struggling with the idea of relaxing during a vacation. He has made a vow to himself that he won't be a stick-in-the-mud during the trip, but finds that he can't relax because stress has become his best medication. He even wishes that someone would knock him out so he could be better for it. The singer acknowledges that there are secret rules for vacation, and he wants to learn them to ensure that no one they know goes missing. He mentions having a job and knowing his place, but also admits that he wants to take a stress-free vacation by doing what "they" want for a while.
The song portrays the internal conflict and stress that many people feel when trying to enjoy a vacation. The pressure to relax and have fun can often create more stress, particularly if individuals are used to being in control and taking care of responsibilities. The idea of learning secret rules to ensure safety also highlights the anxiety that can come with travel and the desire for control in uncertain situations.
