Same Old

by Joel Eckels

/

about

This song was written, performed and produced by human beings without the help of any kind of artificial intelligence.

SAME OLD portrays the inner dialog of being stuck in life and a determination to release yourself from the spiraling limbo that ensues. I'm sure we've all experienced some version of this before. Even when you are fully aware of it happening, it can be difficult to know how to free yourself from it.

lyrics

SAME OLD

Caught in the center of a big black void
I’m not scared, I’m only annoyed
I need the hands of a different clock
One that doesn’t stop
Or tell me when to wind it up
I know that I am built to rise above
And in the end I know that i’ll find love

Ooh, stuck in the same old thing
The same old,
Stuck in the same old thing

It wasn’t meant to go this way
But then there comes a day
When you just have to fit the frame
You’re getting tired of the same old thing
Just need something to change
And she’s waiting for a ring
And there’s no one more deserving
There must be something wrong with me?

Ooh, stuck in the same old thing
The same old,
Stuck in the same old thing

Fighting for ways to make it relevant
Even make a dent
I’m just worried that I’m spent
Maybe it’s that I am shaken?

Now that you see it pick yourself up
Can’t faint at the sight of blood
Don’t worry that they’ll call your bluff
You’d rather die showing what you’re made of
You’d rather die alone than be...

Ooh, stuck in the same old thing
The same old,
Stuck in the same old thing
