Uninspired
Simplified Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of feeling this way,
I'm uninspired,
In my day to day,
I know I've got the answer,
I know that I should see,
My hearts on fire,
It's been so long,
It's been so long,
Hey for me,
Hey for me,
Alone and wired,
And it didn't seem fair,
These wheels keep turning,
But I am going nowhere,
I should stop and think awhile,
But that don't seem to be my style,
Filled with desire,
For what I've never seen,
It's been so long,
It's been so long,
Hey for me,
I'm so tired,
Of feeling this way,
A fool for hire,
Most everyday,
Inside I've got this yearning,
And I'm going to meet you there,
I'm going to carry it,
Carry it on,
On my way,
It's been so long,
It's been so long,
It's been so long,
Hey for me,
I'm so tired of feeling this way,
I'm uninspired,
In my day to day,
The lyrics of Simplified's song Uninspired reflect a general sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with life. The first stanza sets the tone of the song, with the singer expressing their exhaustion and lack of motivation to continue living in the same uninspiring way they have been. They feel like they are stuck in a rut and unable to conjure up any passion or enthusiasm for their day-to-day existence. This is reinforced in the second verse when they describe themselves as "Alone and wired" and feeling like they are going "nowhere." They acknowledge that they should take a step back and reflect, but they feel incapable of doing so and are defined by their sense of unfulfilled desire.
The song's chorus provides a glimmer of hope as the singer declares that they do have the answer within them - their heart is on fire with passion, even if they are not currently feeling it. They express a yearning to meet someone or something that will enable them to carry this fire with them and live a more inspired and fulfilling life. Overall, the song is a reflection on the struggle to find meaning and purpose amidst the routine and mundanity of everyday life.
