じゃんけんぽん!
They tell me keep it simple, I tell them take it slow
I feed and water an idea so I let it grow
I tell them take it easy, they laugh and tell me "no"
It's cool but I don't see them laughin' at my money though
I'm spinning gold out my records know you can't combat me
They tell me Jesus walks, I tell them money talks
Bling got me chill, 'cause I'm living in an ice box
They tell me I've been sleepin', I say I'm wide awake
Tracks hot and ready so they call me mister e-z bake
They say the grass is greener, I think my grass is dank
Drivin' with a drank on an empty tank to the bank
Do you feel me? Take a look inside my brain
The people always different but it always feel the same
That's the real me, pop the champagne
The haters wanna hurt me and I'm laughin' at the pain
Stayin' still, eyes closed
Let the world just pass me by
Pain pills, nice clothes
If I fall I think I'll fly
Touch me, Midas
Make me part of your design
None to guide us
I feel fear for the very last time
They tell me that I'm special, I smile and shake my head
I'll give them stories to tell friends about the things I said
They tell me I'm so humble, I say I'm turning red
They let me lie to them and don't feel like they've been misled
They give so much to me, I'm losing touch, get me?
Served on a silver platter, ask for seconds they just let me
They tell me I'm a God, I'm lost in the facade
Six feet off the ground at all times I think I'm feelin' odd
No matter what I make, they never see mistakes
Makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake
They tell me they're below me, I act like I'm above
The people blend together but I would be lost without their love
Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?
When you become untouchable you're unable to touch
Is there a real me? Pop the champagne
It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain
Stayin' still, eyes closed
Let the world just pass me by
Pain pills, nice clothes
If I fall I think I'll fly
Touch me, Midas
Make me part of your design
None to guide us
I feel fear for the very last time
Lay still, restless
Losing sleep while I lose my mind
All thrill, no stress
All my muses left behind (left behind)
World is, below
So high up, I'm near divine (I'm so high up)
Lean in, let go
I feel fear for the very last time
The Living Tombstone's My Ordinary Life is a song about the struggles of fame and success, and how it can take a toll on one's mental health. The chorus of the song serves as a reflection of the desire for peace of mind and to let go of fear, as the lyrics say "Stayin' still, eyes closed, let the world just pass me by, pain pills, nice clothes, if I fall, I think I'll fly, touch me, Midas, make me part of your design, none to guide us, I feel fear for the very last time." The song reveals the conflict between the expectations of the people and the loss of the artist's individuality. Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the pressure to maintain their public image and the toll this can take on their mental health.
In the first verse, the lyrics reflect the artist's drive to pursue success but still maintain humility, despite others' perception that they have changed. The lyrics "They tell me that I'm special, I smile and shake my head, I'll give them stories to tell friends about the things I said" along with "They tell me I'm so humble, I say I'm turning red, they let me lie to them and don't feel like they've been misled" showcase this. The conflict between image and individuality is also present in the second verse, with lyrics like "No matter what I make, they never see mistakes, makin' so much bread, I don't care that they're just being fake."
