Fine Line Life
The Whippersnappers Lyrics

Take what you want
Do what you want without fear of being caught or judged.

If there's no one looking
As long as there's no one to see or witness, you can do as you please.

Say what you will
Speak your mind freely and without worry of anyone listening or judging.

If there's no one listening closely
You can talk freely without fear of being misunderstood or judged as there's no one attentive.

You make your moves so slowly
Your actions are slow and cautious, deliberate in every sense of the word.

A fly upon the wall
You are a silent observer, a witness to the happenings around you without being noticed.

You wonder what they're going to say
You are curious of what others might say about you once you're gone or out of earshot.

When you are gone
Once you're out of sight or gone, you're at the mercy of what others say about you or your actions.

And you're afraid they're going
Fear grips you when you think of what others might say or think of you.

To find that you're wrong
You're always worried about being proven wrong in front of others.

You're so busy trying
You spend a lot of time and energy in trying to appear perfect or flawless.

Appearances wear thin.
It's not easy to keep up the appearance of being perfect or flawless for long.

Don't be a slave
Don't be too controlled or influenced by the voices in your head.

To the voices in your head,
To the internal monologue or doubts that keep you from being yourself.

You'll play it safe
You'll always choose the safer or easier option, even if it means compromising your true desires.

If it gets you into bed.
If it gets you what you want or need, even if it means sacrificing your integrity or honesty.

And is it really lying
Can you really call it lying if it helps you to achieve your goals?

If it gets you what you need?
If it helps you get what you want or need, does it really matter if you compromise your morals or values?

I can't believe all the tightropes
I am surprised at how precarious and risky your approach to life is, always walking a tightrope.

That you walk
The risks you take in your life in order to achieve your goals.

You make believe that
You pretend or act as if your current reality is all that you desire.

Your angles all you've got
You present a certain version of yourself that you think will appeal to others or get what you want.

And leave me feeling sorry
Your actions or behavior sometimes make me feel bad or empathetic towards you.

Cause you can't see
You are oblivious to how your actions or behavior are affecting you or others.

It's all inside your head
All your thoughts, emotions, fears, and doubts are only in your mind and may not be an accurate reflection of reality.

You cross the line and swallow
You sometimes exceed your limits or boundaries, taking on more than you can handle, and accepting what is told to you without questioning it.

All the lies that you've been fed
The things that you've come to believe without verifying them or assessing the validity of the information.

From time to time,
Sometimes or occasionally,

You'll wake up
You'll suddenly realize or become aware of things that you've been ignoring or suppressing for a while.

Feeling anxious in your bed
Experiencing restlessness or unease, even when you're supposed to be sleeping or resting.

Your conscience screaming:
Your inner self or moral code constantly reminding you of what is right or wrong.

What will anyone care when I am dead?
You question the value or impact of your actions, wondering if they'll matter in the grand scheme of things.

Your fine line life.
The delicate balance you try to maintain between what you truly want and what you have to do.

And it's alright.
It's okay to feel confused, scared, or uncertain at times, as long as you keep moving forward.

I can't really judge you.
I don't have the right or the authority to pass judgment on you or your actions.

Because I don't have to be you.
Because I am not in your shoes or in your position, I cannot understand or appreciate your struggles or motivations.

I just want you to see I'm not afraid
I am not afraid to tell you how I feel or express my opinions on things even if they're different from yours.

To say exactly what I think
To be honest and truthful, even if it's uncomfortable or awkward.

You take control
You have the power or the agency to make your own choices in life.

And you decide to swim or sink
You have to decide whether to take a risk and try or give up altogether.

And live your life with passion
To do what you love, to the best of your ability, and with zest or zeal.

Remember that it's all inside your head.
The only thing limiting you or stopping you from achieving your goals or dreams is your own mindset or attitude.

Don't try to be
Don't attempt or strive to be someone else or something you're not.

The kind of person that you're not
Don't put on a façade or try to impress others by being someone you're not.

Quit holding back
Stop being repressed, inhibited, or restrained in your actions or behavior.

You've got to give it what you've got
You have to put in your best effort and give your all, even if it means failing or being vulnerable.

You might find it surprising
It might come as a shock or revelation to you,

Be honest with yourself
To admit and acknowledge your own flaws or shortcomings, as well as your strengths and talents.

It doesn't really matter
What others think or believe about you doesn't affect your own sense of self-worth or dignity.

What the others think
The opinions or judgments of others that you may not necessarily agree with.
