Lyrics
Confiend on, But on What?
(Verse 1 - Spoken Word - style breathy whisper )
Alright, gather 'round existentialists huddled in your mom's basement,
Let's unpack the absurdity of this whole "being alive" pageant.
We're flung here, fleshy meat puppets on a rock spinning aimlessly,
Confined to this cosmic play, but the scriptwriter's a mystery.
But trapped by what? The tyranny of to-do lists? The crushing weight of unreturned library books?
Or perhaps, the most horrifying truth - we're confined by the oppressive... drumroll please ...limitations of our own dang imaginations!
But confined on what, you ask? That, my friends, is the million-dollar existential question with a two-cent answer: who knows? (Hehehehahahaah!!)
(Chorus - Belting Pop-Punk - Fish in a Birdcage style)
Confined on, confined on, but on what, this existential plot?
Spinning, spinning, 'til we rot, a cosmic sitcom we forgot!
Trapped inside a meat parade, with a soul that wants to serenade,
The endless void, the cosmic joke, confined on, but confined on smoke?
I scream into the void, a desperate, high-pitched plea,
"Is this all there is, or is there more to me?"
(There isn't Aanyything to meeee?")
(Verse 2 - Ska Punk, style)
Society's a circus, and I'm the bearded lady with a PhD in existential dread!
Juggling expectations with existential dread, while the clowns of conformity all shake their heads.
A self-imposed cage of "shoulda, coulda, wouldas," full of misdirections.
Society's a fickle warden, doling out judgments with a sneer,
But I'm a lyrical Houdini, ain't got no time for living in fear!
(Chorus)
Confined on, what's the deal?
Tangled thoughts, hearts can't heal.
Hamster wheel, spinning fast,
But the scenery's a comedic blast!
(Bridge)
Break the script, rewrite the whole scene,
Turn this angst into a rockstar's scream!
(Chorus)
Confined on, what's the deal?
Tangled thoughts, hearts can't heal.
Hamster wheel, spinning fast,
But the scenery's a comedic blast!
(Outro)
Confined? Yeah, maybe that's true,
But hey, at least we're a little bit new,
A little bit weird, a little bit free,
And that, my friend, is the key!
Rockstar's scream!
(Chorus)
Confined on, what's the deal?
Tangled thoughts, hearts can't heal.
Hamster wheel, spinning fast,
But the scenery's a comedic blast!
(Outro)
Confined? Yeah, maybe that's true,
But hey, at least we're a little bit new,
A little bit weird, a little bit free,
And that, my friend, is the key!
