G (goes on for the entirety of every verse) Verse 1: Just the other day Somebody said to me Hey maybe you’re just slightly schizophrenic And a little out of reach my friend I said ’yes that’s partly true’ but jokes aside I can explain it’s just my way of keeping track With living on this planet Now then have you turned on your TV Have you seen reality Have you found the programme that You’ve spent your whole life looking for There’s a girl in Camden town Indecision makes her frown Which dress would she wear today And which way should she smile at me Chorus 1: How did it come to this How did it ever come to this Verse 2: All this noise and all these lights All this talking through the night All this expectation now it’s making me neurotic Tell me have I seen your face before I forgot to say hello Thought I’d made it clear now That I’ve always been a smiler tell me Chorus 2: How did it come to this How did it ever come to this How did it come to this How did it ever come to this Bridge: Sometimes it’s like I’m a world away Sometimes I feel a world away Verse 3: Just the other day somebody said to me Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD A little out of reach my friend I said yes that’s partly true but jokes aside Please stay with me It’s just my way of compartmentalizing All the things I see Chorus 3: How did it come to this How did it ever come to this How did it come to this How did it ever come to this

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une réflexion sur la vie moderne, se demandant comment nous en sommes arrivés à ce point. L'auteur parle des commentaires des autres sur son état d'esprit, entre légèreté et légèreté, tout en abordant les luttes internes face aux attentes et aux pressions du monde. Il fait l'expérience d'une indécision quotidienne, symbolisée par une jeune femme hésitant sur une tenue, tandis que lui-même se débat avec ses pensées et une certaine anxiété. Le contexte est celui des défis de la vie contemporaine, où le bruit et les lumières éblouissantes des environnements citadins rendent les relations humaines et les choix personnels encore plus difficiles. C’est ce mélange de légèreté et de sérieux qui crée cette atmosphère de questionnement, cherchant à comprendre la nature de nos préoccupations et de nos interactions.
