Don't Have Time
Good Riddance Lyrics

All the lies that the papers said
It's not wise to believe everything that's written in the media.

You can't base your life on what you've read
Don't let newspapers and media influence your life decisions.

It's safe and so sterilized
Media reports are often sanitized to avoid controversy or negative reactions.

And there's an urgency to the things you find
People have an urgency to read and believe in what is reported in the media.

You'll beat the curve if you wait in line
Don't rush and follow the trend, wait for the right opportunity to arrive.

Don't break your heart this time
Don't get emotionally attached to the media reports and opinions, as they don't always speak the truth.

And let it all unwind
Relax and don't be influenced or bothered by the media reports.

Just what have we done?
What we do with our lives and the choices we make are a reflection of our character.

We killed a mothers only son
Our selfish actions can lead to devastating consequences for others, just like a mother losing her only child.

Just to remain at number one
People often prioritize their own interests to become successful, even if it means harming others, just to reach the top.

But I don't have time in my life for this
I'm not willing to waste my time and energy on ego-driven pursuits that involve hurting others.

Stand at the brink of a precipice
We are on the edge of a steep cliff, metaphorically representing that our actions have the power to affect others around us.

And those same old fears arise
The fear of failure and its consequences manifest in our minds, even after years of repeating similar patterns.

With eyes to drawn to counteract
We try to mitigate our fear of failure and the consequences of our actions by taking precautions.

The ghost in you comes rushing back
Past traumatic experiences and fears come back, even when we attempt to avoid them.

Too caustic to subside
Our fears become so overwhelming and toxic that they cannot be suppressed or subdued.

We parade our benevolence block out the sun
We show off the good we've done, but often it overshadows the damage we've done.

Through decades of reveries still number one
Despite committing heinous crimes in the past, we still think of ourselves as number one.

It's always the same as the words die on our tongues
We talk about change and progress, but we don't follow through with action, we remain stagnant.

Seek your comfort from above
Find solace in something that is beyond human ego-driven pursuits, like spirituality or religion.
