Busy
K's Choice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you haven't changed
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
But it turned you into someone colder

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of K's Choice's song "Busy" describe the changes that occur in a person's life as they age and prioritize security and stability over personal growth and self-discovery. The first verse addresses the singer's perception of the person they are addressing, who believes they have not changed but has in fact become colder and more focused on arranging their physical and emotional surroundings to feel safe. The chorus references this person's busyness and preoccupation with rearranging their life, while the second verse questions whether anyone is responsible for this change, and laments the loss of the person's true self to the demands of adult life.


The song captures the tension between the desire for stability and the need for personal growth and exploration, and highlights the danger of sacrificing the latter for the former. It also expresses a sense of loss and disillusionment with the mundane realities of adulthood, and the ways in which societal expectations and pressures can lead individuals to forsake their true selves.

Lyrics: Butterflies Instead, Almost Happy, Believe

===============
Butterflies Instead
===============
I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass and pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence

Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault
Your mom and me don't get along"
I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as
Inexplicable I hear, forget, this world in bed
And suddenly the sun comes up
That's when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right

My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
Or if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright...

My eyes all red, the baby's wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive and
Cheer me up and tell me

Alright...

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead

============
Almost Happy
============
If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture
I don't know what you want
Because you don't know,
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look
Or when we should stop looking
I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
It's easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here
A reason to be here
No I don't know what you want
And you don't know
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

======
Believe
======
Bravely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is
And there's something right in front of me and I

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it's me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it's a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it's me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless
Vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

Wait for me, I'm nothing on my own
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you're in front of me then I'll

I watch the fingers of our hands
And I'm grateful that it's me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

I'm willing to go on but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything

20 years ago, live sound was so good back then...

@jasonism123

Amazing band! They should have been big back in the 90s

@jackworth2981

Their best live performance at the pique of their creative career. Absolutely the best live set and great rocky sound. Amazing, warm and heart touching. Seen them in Amsterdam in 2001, I miss them.

@vogeltje

The style changed a little, but they still rock on stage. Love them!
