All Too Well
Joydrop Lyrics

Down in the valley where the veins don't go
In a dark, secluded place where nobody ventures

And the tied up tigers smoke the dope
People in this place indulge in harmful activities

And dream of rope fuck with everything with a face
They even have violent thoughts against living beings

And the straight disgrace of a mission on a mountain
Their actions seem futile and shameful

Of blood tracks to the Queen in a tower of money money money
Their actions lead to benefiting the rich and powerful

Talking to the train tracks working for the
They are insignificant and do menial jobs

Wrong man dreaming of the perfect tan and the
Their aspirations are shallow and misguided

Beautiful voices telling you what you are and
They are influenced by media that manipulates their self-image

The death of poetry on the pages of a magazine
Art has lost its meaning in the face of commercialization

Strung out on the perfect set of genes
People aspire to have physical features that are considered ideal

And I don't want to be there
The singer doesn't want to be part of this society

When it all comes crashing down
When everything falls apart

Somehow there's gonna be tomorrow
Hope for a new day

I know...I know...I know...all too well
The singer has seen how things can go wrong and is aware of the dangers

Funny how the days slip by without a thought
The passage of time is unnoticed

In the mind or a moment of time with your feet
The idea of time is abstract and difficult to grasp

On the ground I know that this will come round
The singer is aware that things will come full circle

Such a beautiful thing that one day all of this
The idea that everything is temporary and transient

Will be gone
Nothing is permanent

Nothing is sacred nothing is true
The world is devoid of any higher purpose or meaning

Nothing is blue and I don't mind what you do
The singer is indifferent to the actions of others

'Cause my mind is my mind in spite of you
The singer values their own thoughts and opinions over those of others

Standing on a spaceship looking for life
The search for meaning and purpose takes the singer to new heights

Or a god or a gun or a matchbook telephone number
The singer searches for answers in different ways

To the one who might love you or maybe...
The search for love and acceptance

Maybe....maybe....maybe....maybe....maybe....
Uncertainty and doubt

Maybe it's time to close the line
Perhaps it's time to stop searching for answers

And step outside and look for the great disaster
Take a new approach to finding meaning and purpose

It must might be faster
Perhaps it will be easier to find meaning this way

To close this book myself
The singer wants to take control of their own life and destiny

Isn't it strange that we've come this far
The singer reflects on the absurdity of life

And still don't' know who we are...
The search for identity and purpose continues
