Busy
Ks Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think I'm being sentimental
You've finally reached that age
Security is fundamental
You think you haven't changed
You think that you're just growing older
You wanted to be safe
You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself
You think you haven't changed
Is anyone to blame
I'd really like to think it's you
But it seems like that's the way
Everyone but me is going
You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face.
Do you still see a trace of yourself
I'm losing all of you
To future plans and obligations
I guess that's what you do
When life's about your next vacation
You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself
You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face
Do you still see a trace of yourself
You think you haven't changed
The lyrics of K's Choice's song "Busy" seem to be about the changes that occur as people age and how those changes can turn a person into someone colder and more focused on security and future plans. The singer seems to be questioning whether the changes in the person they are addressing are due to their own choices or whether they are a result of broader societal pressures that everyone is subject to. The song poses the question of whether it is possible to maintain one's own identity and sense of self in a world that is so busy and focused on external obligations.
The lines "Security is fundamental" and "When life's about your next vacation" suggest that the person being addressed has become more focused on external markers of success and happiness, rather than on their own sense of self and fulfillment. The repeated refrain "You're so busy these days" emphasizes how common this trend is, and perhaps suggests a frustration with a society that values productivity and busy-ness over authenticity and self-reflection.
Ultimately, the song seems to be urging the person being addressed to find some space for themselves within their busy lives, and to re-connect with the parts of themselves that they may have lost in pursuit of security and success.
