Intro: (2x) verse 1 Lethargy got a hold of me And I don’t know how to shake it Got these itchy feet for a change of scene Do anything to escape it Pre-Chorus Get up get up pressure pressure Run away as fast as you can go Everyday our friends and lovers Give the answers everybody knows You told me not to be like anybody else Headspin happiness death Be like anybody else Broke down nothing else left You checked out years ago Oh what I’d to not to worry like you You checked out years ago Oh what I’d do not to worry like you   N.C. "C’mon relax" verse 2 There’s an English man up in space these days Floating in awe and wonder As he broke away from the atmospheres From all of us non believers Pre-Chorus Get up get up pressure pressure Run away as fast as you can go Everyday our friends and lovers Give the answers everybody knows You told me not to be like anybody else Headspin happiness death Be like anybody else Broke down nothing else left You checked out years ago Oh what I’d to not to worry like you You checked out years ago Oh what I’d do not to worry like you Bridge Paint the scene for me Paint it bright and paint it clear I don’t want to use my imagi - nation here Don’t want to use my imagi - nation here Paint the scene for me Paint it bright and paint it clear I don’t want to use my imagi - nation here Don’t want to use my imagi - nation here You told me not to be like anybody else Headspin happiness death Be like anybody else Broke down nothing else left You checked out years ago Oh what I’d to not to worry like you You checked out years ago Oh what I’d do not to worry like you

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque une lutte intérieure contre un état de léthargie, un désir pressant de changement et d'évasion. Le narrateur ressent une pression constante de la part de son entourage, qui lui suggère de se conformer aux normes, tout en aspirant à un bonheur authentique et à la liberté. Il se sent paralysé par des préoccupations et envie ceux qui semblent avoir abandonné leurs inquiétudes, cherchant à s'élever au-dessus des conventions et des attentes sociales. Dans un contexte plus large, on peut y voir une réflexion sur notre quête de sens et notre place dans un monde souvent oppressant. Les références à l'astronaute témoignent d'un rêve d'évasion et de découverte, symbolisant le besoin de sortir de soi-même et de retrouver une vision claire de la vie.
