![]() Simple Things (2001) [ larger cover art ] |
Wait in line
Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see
Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Do you believe
In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see
And I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

And that our perception is creating our reality? Most definitely we all perceive differently, and no question my perception creates my reality. It then follows that we all live distinctly different realities, which I can also accept. Everybody's truth is a little different. Song's still a 10. |

| Hogtownmike (Toronto) | Posted: May 03, 2013 - 10:24 This song sounds like a Air fronted by a female lead to me |

Are there lyrics? I'm swept away by the tonalities alone .... Lyrics and a video, such a sad little guy.... Can't deny the characterisation, but I must have commented for a different song ... 'cause I can hear the singing now. Or else I could have been really trashed that night. Video is indeed sad.. |
