Guys dont be fool, the title speaks for itself. Its not about psycotic, or rehab, or whatever BS you might think other than he is talking about plain ol' life. The routine a normal person would have.when he says"I believe I can see the future,Cause I repeat the same routine"Is that he knows that 2morrow (which is already the future) will be the same as the day he is living through. You wake up, brush your teeth, have breakfast, turn your car on, (some cases, take children to school), go to your daily shift work for 8 hrs. 12hrs etc. during the day you have brunch,lunch,punchout,punch in,finish work, head home, have dinner,watch some tv, go to sleep. next day, guess what???????? same sh*t different daY. AGAIN You wake up, brush your teeth, have breakfast, turn your car on, (some cases, take children to school), go to your daily shift work for 8 hrs. 12hrs etc. during the day you have brunch,lunch,punchout,punch in,finish work, head home, have dinner,watch some tv, go to sleep. next day, guess what???????? REALLY?????? You wake up, brush your teeth, have breakfast, turn your car on, (some cases, take children to school), go to your daily shift work for 8 hrs. 12hrs etc. during the day you have brunch,lunch,punchout,punch in,finish work, head home, have dinner,watch some tv, go to sleep. next day, guess what????????"I think I used to have a purposeThen again, that might have been a dream"THIS MEANS HE HAD GOALS AND WISHED FOR SOMETHING BETTER BUT HE DOESNT HAVE OR NEVER ACCOMPLISHED.
"I think I used to have a voiceAnd now I never make a sound"This means he use to have an opinion and spoke it. People or socity would hear his voice, he had a meaning and now he's shut up because he's depressed because he realizes the routine."I just do what I've been told"this could mean his job. hes no supervisor or CEO of a company, just a regular employee."I really don't want them to come around", oh noHe preffers to avoid his bosses.
Every day is exactly the sameEvery day is exactly the same"There is no love here, and there is no pain"he has no relationship to look foward to so he has no love that comes with pain.Every day is exactly the same
"I can feel their eyes are watching"Society or someone who cares for him is watching over him."In case I lose myself again"This could mean, Drugs, Bad habits, Drop out, bum, laizyness."Sometimes I think I'm happy here"He's happy, cause he is in his comfort zone. He thinks he is happy."Sometimes, yeah, I still pretend"He is not happy at all refering to the previous verse. He s tired of the routine but has to cope with it so he is pretending when hes outside in the real world in society.
"I can't remember how this got started"He doesnt know how, or when this routine started."Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end"He has an idea how he can finish the routine. could be a judgement call, suicide, or since he can see the future daily routine. it may refer to the end of the day.
"I'm writing on a little piece of paperI'm hoping someday you will findWell, I'll hide it behind somethingThey won't look behind"It speaks for itself a metaphor of his emotions hidding it in his heart.
"I am still inside here"His soul, himself, he feels trapped in the routine. has not change."A little bit comes bleeding through"When you bleed it hurts so he's refering to pain, again he mentions no pain in he's life but.......still it says a little not a whole lot so he does have emotions. Human being with emotions."I wish this could have any other way"He wishes his life woul've been different."Oh, but I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do"he's blocked, he doesnt know what actions to take to change he's routine in life.
This song is about routinary life. Of course not every day is excactly the same. But the little things whe do without putting our minds to it is a routine life. Again..... whats the story of your life???"
