The Undecided Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Much with my life
Still riding my bmx bike
I've had one since I was seven
Never had much ambition
Still working the same job I've had
Since grade eleven
Can't seem to find my place in this world
I feel grounded
Too scared to leave this security
A lot of my friends have moved away
To pursue a better life
And some are getting married
I'm still stuck here
Trying to catch my dreams
But maybe things are not
As bad as they seem
The Undecided's song "Grounded" explores the feeling of being stuck and stagnant in life.

Sometimes I think I haven't done
At times, I reflect on my life and doubt my accomplishments
Much with my life
I feel like I haven't achieved much
Still riding my bmx bike
I'm still doing what I enjoyed as a kid
I've had one since I was seven
My love for biking goes way back to my childhood
Never had much ambition
I've never been very driven to succeed
Still working the same job I've had
I haven't made much career progress
Since grade eleven
I've been in the same job since high school
I feel grounded
I feel stuck in my life
Can't seem to find my place in this world
I feel lost and uncertain about my purpose in life
I feel grounded
I feel trapped in my current situation
Too scared to leave this security
I'm afraid to take risks and leave my comfort zone
A lot of my friends have moved away
Many of my peers have left our hometown
To pursue a better life
They're seeking better opportunities outside of our town
And some are getting married
My friends are also settling down and starting families
I'm still stuck here
I feel like I'm still in the same place I was years ago
Trying to catch my dreams
I'm still striving to achieve my goals
But maybe things are not
Perhaps my situation is not
As bad as they seem
As negative as I'm making them out to be
