All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh, I know it's taken a toll
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh I know it's taken a toll
I ain't seen you in a minute
Had to get away, I got on a red eye
When I'm talking to you I want
You look into my eyes
Came all the way to see you from west side
And my best friend said he
Gonna move to Bed-Stuy i might hit the road
Will you come for the ride?
Tell me if it's real love or
If it's time to sign out
I guess I'ma find out
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh, I know it's taken a toll
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh I know it's taken a toll
I ain't seen you in a minute
You give me the side-eye
Had to get away, I got on a red eye
When I'm talking to you I want
You to look into my eyes
3am I'm walking and the stars are in the sky
I gotta detach and they just
Always ask me why
Try to explain myself and it
Just really don't feel right
So what choice do I have if
I'm tryna get through the day?
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh, I know it's taken a toll
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh I know it's taken a toll
Top down in the hills
If you wanna ride with me then it's chill
Pure strength, pure will
But you know I'm going in for the kill
Feel pain
Think I'm gonna reach my threshold
Feel rage 'cause they never understand, no
No love for a nigga in this time zone
So what choice do I have when I'm
Tryna get through in the day?
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh, I know it's taken a toll
All your entertaining time and money wasted
Oh I know it's taken a toll
The lyrics to THE ANXIETY's song "Entertain" touch on themes of frustration, isolation, and the toll that entertaining others can take on an individual. The song explores the singer's feelings of being disconnected from someone they care about, as well as the pressure and expectations they face in their daily life.
The opening lines, "All your entertaining time and money wasted, Oh, I know it's taken a toll," indicate that the singer feels like their efforts to please others have been in vain and have come at a personal cost. This could be a reflection of a relationship where the other person may not fully appreciate or reciprocate the singer's efforts.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire for understanding and connection. They mention wanting the other person to look into their eyes when they talk and feeling a sense of distance or tension in their interactions. The mention of the singer's best friend planning to move, and their own consideration of hitting the road, suggests a desire for escape or a need to break free from the constraints of their current situation.
The latter part of the song delves into feelings of detachment and frustration. The singer describes walking at 3 am, with the stars in the sky, indicating a sense of loneliness and contemplation. They express the struggle of trying to explain themselves to others but feeling like it falls flat or doesn't resonate. This sense of not being understood further exacerbates their emotional state.
The chorus repeats the line "All your entertaining time and money wasted," emphasizing the toll that being constantly consumed with entertainment and pleasing others can take on an individual. The verse about being top down in the hills and going in for the kill can be interpreted as a metaphor for going after their goals and finding strength in their own personal journey.
Overall, "Entertain" explores the internal struggle of the singer as they navigate their own desires for connection, understanding, and identity amid the pressures and expectations of entertaining others.
