Lethargy Lyrics

Lethargy got a hold of me
And I don't know how to shake it
Got these itchy feet for a change of scene
Do anything to escape it

Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
Run away as fast as you can go
Everyday our friends and lovers
Give the answers everybody knows

You told me not to be like anybody else
Headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Bowed down, nothing else left

You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you

There's an English man up in space these days
Floating in awe and wonder
As he floats away from the atmospheres
All of us non believers

Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
Run away as fast as you can go
Everyday our friends and lovers
Give the answers everybody knows

You told me not to be like anybody else
Headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Bowed down, nothing else left

You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you

Paint the scene for me
Paint it bright and paint it clear
I don't want to use my imagination here
Don't want to use my imagination here
Paint the scene for me
Paint it bright and paint it clear
I don't want to use my imagination here
Don't want to use my imagination here

You told me not to be like anybody else
Headspins, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Bowed down, nothing else left

You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do to not to worry like you

What is the Meaning of Lethargy?

In this existential pop anthem, our dear friends from Bastille are having a bit of an identity crisis. They're wrestling with lethargy, that pesky feeling of apathy and lack of energy that can sometimes make us feel like we're stuck in life's revolving door. The lyrics echo a longing for change and escape, possibly from societal expectations or the mundane routine. There's also a hint of envy towards those who seem to have checked out from these worries long ago. Yet, amidst all this angst, there's a plea for vivid clarity rather than relying on one's imagination to paint a brighter picture. So here’s your takeaway: Be yourself, don't worry too much, and if you ever find yourself floating in space... well, at least you'll have a good story to tell!
