Lyrics

I feel you
Can’t take it no more
Climbed to the top
And what was it for
But of course you know
What it is that you seek
You want to let it all go
Now that you stand at the peak
But I’ll tell you what
That’s a long long cord to cut

Go back to the start
And the GPS
You tapped in the fastest route
To success
Guided by fear
But guided by trust
All your thoughts then
Still driving the bus
But I’ll tell you what
That’s a long long cord to cut

Remember when you learned
There wasn’t so much to say
Divine intervention
Works the same way
Your complaint makes perfect sense
You can’t carry the weight
And so does your request
Now you want a clean slate
But I’ll tell you what
That’s a long long cord to cut

Liked the first four lines of the third section, really nice meaning there. Also like the title hook, very interesting concept. I also like the word route and find it always interesting as it has two pronunciations, which in this case sounds more like root, which is an interesting play off the "go back to the start".

Kind of hypnotic once I relax into that repeating chord progression.
