Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too blind to know your best
Hurrying through the forks without regrets
Different now, every step feels like a mile
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by
[Verse 2]
So how's it gonna be?
When it all comes down, you're cycling trivialities
[Verse 3]
Don't know which way to turn
Every trifle becoming big concerns
All this time, you were chasing dreams
Without knowin' what you wanted them to mean
[Verse 4]
So how's it gonna be?
When it all comes down, you're cycling trivialities
So how's it gonna be?
When it all comes down, you're cycling trivialities
[Verse 5]
Who cares in a hundred years from now?
All the small steps, all your shitty clouds
Who cares in a hundred years from now?
Who'll remember all the players?
Who'll remember all the clowns?
[Verse 6]
So how's it gonna be?
When it all comes down, you're cycling trivialities
So what does this really mean?
When it all comes down, you're cycling trivialities
[Verse 7]
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
