Not As Bad
Set Your Goals Lyrics

It came in third to everything
It always loses to everything else, and is not given much importance.

I need you to get here and pencil in anything
I want someone to come and add something of importance to it, to make it more worthwhile.

So many switches end the silence
There are plenty of ways to change the situation and to stop it from being silent and uneventful.

I want to shout it out and resonate a new way
I want to express what I feel and make a change in this situation, in a fresh and meaningful way.

All the long days
These situations have been going on for a long time.

We couldn't always read the short way or read correctly
We didn't always understand the situation, and sometimes misunderstood it or approached it in the wrong way.

Please redirect me if it stays here
If this situation stays the same, please help me find a different path.

Make it not too late to get lost
Don't let it be too late for us to change course and find a new way out of this situation.

Always anticipating blame
Feeling anxious and always waiting to be blamed or to have something bad happen.

I am aging here for all of the things that will be new again
I feel like I'm stuck in the past, waiting for things to feel new again, but time is still passing and I am getting older.

It's not as bad as everyone says
Contrary to popular belief, the situation is not all that terrible.

Drink through what you can see through
Take things one step at a time and try to understand the situation as it is.

If it breaks the rules they gave you, take it off
If the situation is not adhering to the expected norms or rules, it's okay to change it.

Amnesia helps to get you there when
Forgetting the past and looking forward helps to change perspective and approach a situation differently.

You can't remember how to let the cars do what they will do
Sometimes we forget to just sit back and let things happen on their own, without intervention or control.

When the train derails
When things go wrong or don't follow the expected path.

Take this as your moment to fly
This can be used as an opportunity to try something new and take a leap.

Never back down when Jekyll'ed hands are idling to Hyde
Don't back down when people with two-faced personalities try to turn on you or divide you.

Personable personalities for fear of being found out, left behind
People put on friendly faces in fear of being seen as inadequate or unlikable.

I'm younger guns traveling eastward and up
I am a young person who is constantly growing and improving, looking towards the future.

Making good on claims to shove west
Moving forward and making progress with personal goals and ambitions.

When gold country washes prospects in again
When opportunities arise again and things start to look more promising.

Let's rewrite nostalgic laws
Let's change the way we think about the past and not get stuck in old ways of thinking.

Scream our lungs and walk past Oz
Let's express ourselves loudly and not be held back by illusions or fantasies.

Walk past foreign dreams to know it all
Ignoring impractical aspirations and focusing on learning and knowledge instead.

Because we are young, we are undone
As young people, there is room to grow and improve, and we are just starting out in life.

And we know just what's good for us
Despite being inexperienced, we know what is best for ourselves and our own personal growth.

True and real things can be touched
There are genuine and meaningful things in life that we can physically experience and interact with.

And felt and told without tongues
These things can be experienced and expressed without necessarily using words or verbal communication.

We search for new answers
We are constantly looking for new solutions and ways forward in life.
