Choices
The Hoosiers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning
I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning but im not the only
So forgive me, Cause its more than I can bear
In demand I make my mind up by deciding not to care

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I'm the victim, of this day and age
I've forgotten how to feel
I've forgotten how to change
So I surrender, to the apple of my eye
I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I could Break it, I could break it till it hurts
I could take Whatever words you say, Pretend I never heard
So Forgive me, shouldn't be so hard
It's they way I'm put together, so your never getting past

Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to
Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(I surrender)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(Just forgive me)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

Without Friction, We Would float up into space
Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my place




In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning but I'm not the only one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Hoosiers' song "Choices" speak of feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned in the modern world, where there are too many options and too many voices vying for attention. The singer expresses the desire to surrender control and let fate or external forces make the decisions for them, as they feel unable to cope with the pressure of having to constantly make choices. The repeated refrain of "Stop giving me choices" reinforces this sentiment, as if the singer is pleading for a reprieve from the endless stream of options that confront them.


The line "I'm the victim, of this day and age" suggests a sense of powerlessness in the face of contemporary culture, technology, and social norms. The singer implies that they have lost touch with their own emotions and capacity for change, and instead have become passive and detached. They also acknowledge a tendency to avoid confrontation and just "pretend I never heard" the things others say, perhaps indicating a fear of conflict or a desire to avoid responsibility for their choices. The final stanza introduces a new metaphor, of needing "friction" to avoid floating away, and shifts back to a more optimistic tone about the possibility of finding someone or something to ground them.

So forgive me, cause it's more than I can bear
You demand I make my mind up, I decided not to care

Stop giving me choices

This song was on TV 7 years ago and I used to watch it everyday then when I was 14. Never really looked up at the title or the name of the band. It hit me like three years back and I have been searching for the song since then. Finally found it today! Love it!
