lirik lagu j-wong - awakening

click, drag, load, refresh
skim, skip, relax, stress
break, sleep, vacation, fun
wake up on a bus sipping on espresso on the run

wake up and check my messages
click for the news
five seconds to buffer the clip that i choose

tryna’ just take a second, i wanna just take a ride
instead of climbing i wanna just be a person on the side
of the escalator, but getting there later makes me worry
i was born in a rush and now i live my life in a hurry

sometimes i wish i could slow down, with everything that i know now
the thirst is worse, and i’m cursed with the blessing of driving into unknown towns
and i can’t slow, because my mind’s still running and
when i do, i just speed back up again
hear a tick tock, and i check the clock
and i didn’t wake up early enough again

even if i take a break i’m fearing the worst
living life in the highest gear and my highest fear is reverse
so i keep moving forward, stalling life is my worst fear
waking up feeling like i’m stuck on a hill in first gear

can’t stop, i’m the original not a copy
i may get tired but i never get sick of sippin’ coffee
waking up in a haze, i’m dazed, paying for brew
waking up in sleep mode, straight hitting the snooze, i gotta

get on a bus for the start of the workday
proceeding to meetings where i got something to say
and every day there, i stay there, to restate it clearer
and when i leave i’m seeing grey hairs all over the mirror

but i ain’t got time for hedging all of my bets
finishing all of my problem sets and resolving my debts
so i just, i keep grinding like a millstone does
because i’m feeling like a child, but i’m still grown, cuz’

and nowadays i barely got the time to finish my dinner
tryna keep my flows cold like it’s ithaca winter
am i a winner? or maybe just another partic-p-nt
coming up on you fishermen like a bait and switch hittin’ em

so i put it in the oven at 350 and bake
know that i’d, never be dishin’ anything i couldn’t take
i never fake it till i make it cuz’ i’m already there
and if you don’t want to believe me well i don’t really care, i just

click, drag, load, refresh
skim, skip, relax, stress
break, sleep, vacation, fun
wake up on a bus sipping on espresso on the run

wake up and check my messages, skim through the feed
look at all the headlines that i don’t actually read
exit the app if the feed gets larger
jump out of bed, pop my phone off the charger

i had a minute to win it, but now it feels like a second
too much information beckons, i reckon, as i was checking the time
i was reflecting on mine, really it’s fine
lately i only think about it when i’m waiting in line

with the speed that we’re living at are we more free?
do i have more time ‘cuz i got 4g?
or we really just have less time for actual reflection
living life at the speed of a modern internet connection

cruising through life at a new speed
addicted to the sights and the sounds of the news feed
slave to the web, can i stay this free?
everybody’s got a new form of add

they say that our attention spans will be just fine
but we went from tv to youtube, and youtube to vine
online, where everything just feels like it’s faster
but that’s why the apprentice can never become a master

and the truth is, that we don’t really know what’s next
i never get calls, because it’s so much faster to text
there’s a hunger for knowledge, and a need to feed
but we don’t listen to the lecture cuz’ it’s faster to read

n-body gets anything done until the page loads
uber back, i ain’t never call a taxi from a payphone
there’s no time to pause, and no time for a break
there’s no time to mess up and there’s no time to learn from the mistake

there’s no time to shut it down, no time to look alive
no time to turn the phone off and no time to go outside
there’s no time between depositing a check and when the check’s done
no time between finishing a project and then the next one

there’s only time for seconds of circles that keep spinning
time for clicking b-ttons and watching the bars finish
time for wasting time on the internet when the day ends
time to oversleep and time to do it all again
