Notes
Meric Long Lyrics

Listen to the voices all the noises that keep ringing in your head
Pay attention to the many sounds and distractions that fill your mind.

Staring at the wall you trip and fall and think of other things instead
When you get lost in thought, you might become physically unbalanced and distracted.

Things are changing clearly in our living singularly you have grown
The world around us is in constant transformation and evolution, and you too have matured and developed.

Step out of the past you thought at last from the unknown to the unknown
Stop dwelling on the past, because it's unclear and has no answers - instead, take the risk to explore a new and unknown future.

And all the while you keep on telling me that you really shouldn't get inside yourself anymore
Despite numerous warnings, you're still engaging in introspective, self-destructive behavior.

you really shouldn't get inside yourself anymore
You need to stop obsessing over your own thoughts and emotions.

My guilt resides in family
I feel shame and blame surrounding my family and their actions.

I leave it there, I leave it be
I try not to dwell on my guilt, and let it be.

I drink my way to charity
I contribute to philanthropy by drinking alcohol and attending benefit events.

But that's not me, no that's not me
I feel that this outward image of myself is false and doesn't align with who I truly am.

I placed that bet twelve years ago
I made a life-altering decision twelve years ago.

when I was left to the unknown
I was forced to confront the uncertainty and unpredictability of my future.

I change my mind
I regret the decision I made twelve years ago and wish I could undo it.

if only I could change my mind
I wish I had the power to go back in time and make a different choice.

I'd change
If I could undo my past decision, I would.

Listen to this race of all the humans and their funny little ways
Observe the diverse range of behaviors and habits displayed by humanity.

Lying to yourself, you're getting by
You're sacrificing the truth and honesty to cope with life's challenges.

the float is passing catch the rest
Take advantage of the opportunities life presents to you.

Underscore the cinematic feature on the screen
Highlight the fictitious element of our everyday lives, as if we were part of a movie.

which tells the story of singing corpses who are cooler in their dreams
Imaginary corpses have better, more fashionable lives in their vivid dreams.

but now they're dragging dirty laundry up and down these crooked streets
The same corpses now reluctantly deal with unpleasant or embarrassing tasks on miserable streets.
