Rockets
Shy Kids Lyrics

a fear of heights, i might sprout wings -
I have a fear of heights, but I am willing to take a risk and do something bold that might make me feel free.

hope these ropes and chutes really spring!
I hope that the safety equipment will work and that I won't get hurt while taking a risk.

i have three feet, i can't pick two -
I feel like I have conflicting desires or obligations and I'm not sure which one to prioritize.

which ones wear my dancing shoes?
Which choice will lead me closer to my passions and fulfill my desires?

The idea of candy, sugar, and artificial flavors seems simple and pleasing, but is it really making our lives simpler or more complicated?

Despite knowing that it's not natural or healthy, I enjoy the taste of sugary, artificially flavored things.

trees see all the colours in droplets of water, i could too if i opened my eyes!

I don't believe that anyone else has the power to change my life or my outlook.

change it, all the fake shit, all the habits that need breaking.
I recognize that there are things in my life that are not genuine or helpful, and I want to make a change.

the ingredients are our making, and i'm asking what they're made of.
We create our own lives and experiences, and it's important to question and understand the ingredients that make up our reality.

it's this percent fructose, and this percent aspirin, and this percent sucrose, and this percent plastic.
We consume a lot of substances that are not healthy or natural, and we need to be aware of what we're putting into our bodies.

red dye number 5 certified by organic government bodies, theres no need to panic.
There are chemicals in our food that are deemed safe by regulatory bodies, but we should still be mindful of what we're eating and drinking.

gravity limits me and i can't stand it!
I feel like I am being weighed down by the pressures and constraints of society and it's suffocating me.

make it all sweet, baby, make it all candy!
I desire pleasure and instant gratification, even if it's not good for me in the long run.

anything's mine if i only imagine - a kid in a candy store that's diabetic.
I believe that I can have anything I want if I simply imagine it, even if it's unrealistic or harmful to me.

it's all pretty great, but i make it sound tragic - make it all sweet, baby, make it all candy!
I recognize that my interests and desires may not be healthy or fulfilling, but I still prioritize them over other aspects of my life.

cuz we all know that life sucks without la-la-la-la
Life can be difficult and stressful, and sometimes we need to escape reality and find pleasure in simple things to cope.
