Lifetime
Insomnio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you only work and work
ten hours each day
you're wasting your lifetime
I'm not into your jail
time, my time is only mine
first, I'm gonna spend it better
my ears are clean of all your lies
In "Lifetime" by Insomnio, the lyrics express a sense of rebellion against the societal expectations to work long hours and dedicate one's life solely to their job. The opening lines "your life sucks, you only work and work, ten hours each day" convey a feeling of dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment with this lifestyle. The repetition of "work" emphasizes the monotony and tediousness of this routine.
The lyrics then go on to reject this lifestyle, with the line "I'm not into your jail time, my time is only mine." This line highlights the idea that dedicating all one's time and energy to work can feel like imprisonment and can be suffocating. Instead, the singer chooses to prioritize their own time and enjoyment.
The chorus, "I'm not wasting my lifetime, my time is only mine" further reinforces this sentiment. The singer values their autonomy and freedom over societal expectations to constantly work and grind. The final line, "my ears are clean of all your lies," suggests that the singer has removed themselves from the pressure to conform and instead chooses to live life on their own terms.
