about

I think this one's fairly self-explanatory. Just a track about disappointment with where my life is at this point. I think a lot of Gen Y people feel like this, although most of us probably don't admit without the shield of irony to protect our emotions.

Fun fact: It was very very dusty in my house when I wrote this.

lyrics

I breathe in dust until my throat burns.
I lay in wait while the world turns.
Once, I was young and life seemed bright.
Now the day is darker than the darkest night.

I was meant for more than this.
I was meant to be someone else.
I was meant to be in love with everyone.
Please believe me. Please don't leave me.

Why am I unhappy? Is it because I feel old;
older than I should be for my life to unfold?
I waded in waters of change. Now the river has run dry.
Nothing of me remains. I am too dead to cry.

I was meant for more than this, wasn't I?
I was meant to be someone else.
I was meant to be in love with everyone.
Please believe me. Please don't leave me.

The future is a dream deferred.
The past remains.
I, once, had greatness in me.
Now I have changed.

I was meant for more than this.
I was meant to be someone else.
I was meant to be loved by everyone.
Please believe me. Please don't leave me.
