Obsolete
Magne Furuholmen Lyrics

The cellar’s full of wine
You have accumulated things that were once valuable but now sit unused, like wine aging in a cellar.

You can no longer drink
These items have lost their purpose, and you cannot find joy or fulfillment in them anymore.

Your head is full of thoughts
Your mind is preoccupied with concerns and worries that prevent you from feeling present or calm.

You don't allow yourself to think
Instead of confronting these thoughts, you avoid them and refuse to reflect on your emotions.

The cupboard's full of canned fruit
Your possessions no longer bring you satisfaction, like canned food that has lost its flavor.

Vegetables and meat
Even essential items have lost their value and appeal due to neglect and lack of use.

Everything is damaged goods
All of your belongings now seem broken or useless, like grapes that have turned sour but still pass off as sweet.

Like sour grapes gone sweet
The things you thought were once sweet have become sour with time.

The drawer's full of letters
You hold onto things out of duty rather than desire, like letters that need to be sent but never will.

Overdue to be sent
These items were once important, but now they are meaningless and long past their expiration date.

Stamps no longer valid
The things that were once necessary are now obsolete and no longer applicable to your life.

And words no longer meant
The memories and emotions behind these items have been lost, and they no longer spark any significance.

You saved them for a rainy day
You were once afraid of losing valuable possessions and held onto them for a future that never came.

You waited for too long
The things you held onto for security have now become useless and have outlasted their purpose.

You thought that saving memories
You believed that holding onto things would help preserve your memories and identity.

Was the things that made you strong
These possessions were once a source of strength and identity, but now they have become burdens.

The closet's bursting at the seams
Your life is filled with excess and clutter, like clothes that no longer fit or have gone out of style.

With clothes you do not wear
Your possessions have become a reflection of your life, and you have outgrown many parts of it.

You need to get your life fixed
You realize that something needs to change to bring you happiness, but you are unsure where to start.

But a part of you don't care
You are conflicted about what changes to make, and a part of you is apprehensive or resistant to change.

You've done everything so right
You have followed a prescribed path and made all the right choices but still feel unfulfilled.

But now it seems all wrong
Your previous choices no longer bring you happiness, and you question whether they were right for you.

You played so damn hard
You have worked hard and tried to succeed by society's standards but feel like you have lost yourself in the process.

That it turned into a song
Your once important goals and work have become repetitive and meaningless, like a song that has been overplayed.

But the years are filling out
Time is passing, and you realize that you need to make changes to your life before it's too late.

With the chances you don't take
You regret not taking risks and trying new things that could have brought happiness and fulfillment.

Your heart is pounding
You are afraid and uncertain about making changes that could impact your life.

And you cannot stand the ache
You are tired of feeling unfulfilled and incomplete but are unsure how to change it.

'Cause you're obsolete
You feel like you have become irrelevant and outdated compared to society's changing standards and values.

Like the autumn leaves on the street
Your life has become like the fallen leaves on the streets, forgotten and replaced by the changing seasons.

Like the morning dew beneath your feet
Your life has become like the morning dew, temporary and fleeting, with no lasting impact or significance.
