Houseplants
by
Squid
In a world where the mundane mingles with existential dread, Squid paints a picture of suburban stagnation and societal disillusionment. The lyrics echo the frustration of a generation that's smarter but still trapped in a cycle of economic and emotional inertia. Houseplants symbolize not just decoration, but the superficial attempts to mask deeper anxieties and fears—a "rotten cesspit" lurking beneath polished surfaces. Conversations about raises and daily routines reveal an underlying ennui that no amount of greenery can cure. The chorus becomes an anthem for those suffocating under the weight of unfulfilled dreams and societal expectations. #SuburbanDiscontent #ExistentialCrisis
