What's The Matter?
MARCELLINA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La di dow
What's the matter?
Mindless chatter
What's the matter?
Perspective shattered?
You're in all the patterns
What's the matter?
La di dow
La di dow
Let's take a walk
Down to the lake
There's so much love
That we can make
Let's contemplate
Choices we've made
To end up down here
On this day
La di dow
La di dow
What's the matter?
Mindless chatter
What's the matter?
Perspective shattered?
You're in all the patterns
But don't get too flattered
What's the matter?
La di dow
La di dow
The sun is set
And the moon rise
Don't get upset
Because you are wise
We all have the
Answers within
Just gotta accept
What you are given
And sometimes
Things come back up
'Cause we ignore
What life is tryna tell us
What is going on?
How did we get here?
Ooh, it's been so long
But I've got no fear
La di dow
La di dow
What's the matter?
Mindless chatter
What's the matter?
Perspective shattered?
We're in all the patterns
But don't get too flattered
What's the matter?
La di dow
La di dow
