Decisions
Gonzales feat. Feist Lyrics

Decisions
The song emphasizes on the numerous decisions that one needs to make in life.

Decisions
One has to constantly make decisions, and it's a never-ending process.

Decisions
Life is full of choices, and every choice comes with its consequences.

Decisions
One cannot escape taking decisions as they present themselves time and again.

Decisions
The song highlights the taxing nature of decision-making.

Decisions
Finally, the artist reinforces the central theme of his song that no matter how many decisions one makes, there will always be more.

Elevated to the top floor
The song depicts the story of an executive or a high-ranking corporate official.

Voice print opens the door
The technology that allows secure access to the executive floor by voice recognition.

It's all yours
The executive has arrived at their destination and is in charge of their environment.

Swivelling chair, mahogany desk
The executive's chair is capable of swiveling, and the desk is made of luxury mahogany wood.

The paranoramic view is picturesque
The executive has a picturesque view from their office on the top floor.

Remote control venetian blinds
The executive has remote control access to adjust the office blinds.

Dim the skyline dripping over time
The view of the landscape has reduced in luminosity with time.

A hot tub and masseus on call
The executive has access to luxury amenities such as a hot tub and a masseuse on call.

But you're better work hard
The benefits of luxury amenities come with the expectation of hard work.

If you wanna play hard ball
The reminder that the world of industry is one of competition and strategy.

Yo this ain't Monopoly
An allusion to the board game, Monopoly, and the fact that the real world is not a game.

Plain and simple it's proper monotony
The reality of being a corporate executive can be a monotonous experience.

Well get set for a life in the jet set
Prepare to live a luxurious lifestyle.

Or should I say a life in a head set
A reminder that the job of an executive can be a 24/7 immersive experience.

Line three, it's a conference call
A reminder that a big part of an executive's job is to attend conference calls.

Think out the box baby, stay on the ball
A reminder to stay creative and focused on one's goals.

You're a millionaire but you don't care
The wealth that comes with being an executive is not always what motivates a person.

You've made it to the top but you'd better stay there
The struggle to keep one's position after reaching the top is an ongoing concern.

A board metting at half past three
The artist introduces the idea of an executive meeting at three-thirty pm.

With teh CEO and the new VP
The meeting involves the CEO and a new vice president.

They got a problem with the Japanese
There is an issue regarding a Japanese business deal.

They bought a first class ticket for you overseas
The executive is sent overseas with first-class travel arrangements.

You got a mission to micro-manage
The executive is tasked with the responsibility of managing details meticulously.

Weed out the problem and make it vanish
Solve the issue and make it disappear.

You might break with the protocol
There might be a need to bend rules in the pursuit of the solution.

But if you leave with a handshake problem solved
The outcome of the mission is better achieved when the problem is resolved amicably.

It was a job well done
The executive performed well to solve the problem.

You passed the test and got the respect of everyone
The executive gained the respect of everyone they worked with.

The sideline sitters and the sword-swallowers
The ones who stand on the sidelines and the ones who take risks are both respecting the executive.

The bottom feeders and the board followers
The followers and ones at the bottom of the hierarchy are also impressed by the executive's problem-solving abilities.

You want food for thought just to vibe with this
The artist wants the listener to think about the deeper meanings of this song.

You're either powerless or on the power list
The artist highlights the binary nature of the corporate world, where you can either be powerful or powerless.

Just remember that corporate culture
The song reminds us that the corporate world has its own culture.

Starts with adreneline and ends in ulcers
Corporate culture is exciting but comes with a cost to one's health.

But you're losing drive
The song depicts the downside of being a corporate executive, burnout and fatigue.

Third quarter stock takes a nose dive
There is a significant drop in the stock market during the third quarter.

And the press want explanations
The media is pushing for an explanation of the stock's decline.

It's in the papers, they're losing patience
The media has already reported stories regarding the decline and no answers yet.

Some head's gotta roll
There has to be a sacrifice somewhere somehow.

They gonna try to squeeze you out through a loophole
Someone will use any means necessary, including unethical to fill the slot of the one to be sacrificed.

Say goodbye to your swivelling chair
You might lose everything you had worked for, including losing your swivel chair.

Cause you made it to the top but you couldn't stay there
The journey to the top comes with a lot of battles, and you can lose your position as fast as you rose to it.

(You'd better make some decisions, figga)
A reminder to make decisions quickly and decisively.
