LYRICS:
I’m barely getting by
As the world implodes around me
Some days it’s hard to try
To stay afloat and keep from drowning
As a kid my teachers taught
“Be anything you want to be.”
“Grow up and get a job.”
“Contribute to society.”
But society is falling down.
The world outside is gonna be the death of me
And endless cesspool of sorrow and anxiety
I don’t care for fame and wealth, cause it can’t fix my mental health
So if you need me I’ll be sitting right here on the couch
Most days I do alright
Tune out the constant chaos
Really, I’m doing fine
No need to ask “Are you OK, John?”
I’ll just surround myself
With shiny things and fun distraction
Stay tucked inside my shell
It’s easier than taking action
Why should I go anywhere?
The world outside is gonna be the death of me
And endless cesspool of sorrow and anxiety
I don’t care for fame and wealth, cause it can’t fix my mental health
So if you need me I’ll be sitting right here on the couch

Yeah, this is... definitely the zeitgeist I feel. Great work. Currently going through a period of "I can't deal anymore" and withdrawn into my shell, so this song is definitely consoling. Reminds me that I'm not the only one. We're constantly plugged into the state of the world, and that state is only looking bleaker every year. Future prospects are slim to none, crises are everywhere. For your own sake, you have to forget that the world is on fire from time to time, or you'll go crazy.

It's a paradox, really. We're constantly aware of the state of the world, we can watch the great ship RMS Human Civilization sinking almost in real time, and yet we are powerless to do anything to stop or even slow the flooding, and that powelessness results in despair. The only thing we can do it seems (other than the unspeakable) is bury our heads in the sand and try to keep that serotonin and dopamine flowing through personal action and entertainment.

I'm glad you did release this song. If you're ever on the fence about releasing a song because it is different than what you usually put out, maybe you can just make a separate album for them or do like Celldweller and Blue Stahli do and make a second band (or label) with some different....themes, or styles. They may not fit in with the usual offerings but that doesn't mean they shouldn't see the light of day!

This one hits close to home. When all is failing and the world is going to hell in a handbasket right in front of our noses and we do little or nothing despite all the signals, signs (and cries!) to change our ways, it's great to have a break, as long as the fight is not stopped. A break is allowed. Giving up is not.

1:28 surrounding oneself "with shiny things and fun distractions" sounds like the behavior of a dragon. So I have decided the narrator of the song is a dragon and the world outside being the death of a him is far more literal with knights deciding that breaking into the dragon's cave and killing him makes the world a better place... humans suck
