The Code Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always falling on my face trying hard to keep my head up
Cause this life has got me running, repetitions got me pinned
I've gotta break this cycle. Where the fuck do I begin?
[Chorus:]
Oh no... what has gotten into me
Of life... and all of the anxiety?
Alright... I don't ever want to be
Dead to the world but sometimes I feel so lost and alone
Its so hard to let go. What can I say "Well I'm okay!"
I'm not so... Sometimes I Just don't know.
And I don't want to grow old and burn out
And I don't want to lose hope and find out
What can you do when your dreams turn to your doubts?
Sometimes I just don't Know [2x]
... how to but I won't pretend I'm not another brick in the wall
Another fish in the pot. Another cog in the system
Repetition and routine. I've gotta break this cycle, it's killing all my dreams!
[Chorus]
Keep your head up
Hey... Its never over
Hey... Its just beginning to set in, to begin
The clock tick tocks and the days fly by
It's off to the pace and I don't ask why
Why we're born to conform... to consume... just to die?
Born to conform and we don't ask why.
[Chorus]
The Code's "The Pace" is a song that delves into the monotony and anxiety of life. The chorus repeats "Oh no... what has gotten into me, Oh yeah... could it be the monotony, Of life... and all of the anxiety?" which reflects the feeling of being stuck in a cycle that seems to never end. The first verse captures this sentiment, as the singer feels trapped and wants to break free. However, he doesn't know where to start. He doesn't want to grow old and burn out, and he's afraid his dreams will turn into doubts. The chorus emphasizes that he doesn't want to be dead to the world, but he sometimes feels lost and alone.
The second verse emphasizes that the singer knows he's another brick in the wall, another fish in the pot, and another cog in the system. He realizes that repetition and routine are killing his dreams and that he needs to break the cycle. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the frustrations of monotony and anxiety that the singer feels.
