Hi, I feel compelled to make an apology for not having the inspiration to make anything but musical videos. So here, straight from the horse's mouth: SORRY.

But I digress.
This song is a (rather long, unnecessarily noisy) mental note to myself to quit sweating the small stuff. Certainly there are traumas & other valid reasons to be lonely, but generally, our collective misery comes from small(er) things, which we have the tendency to go overboard with.

In times of personal restlessness & spoiled-brattiness, this should be my anthem to harden the truck up. It's all trivial after all.

Whew, mouthful. Again, sorry.

[Lyrics]
I don't want to spend anymore of my youth scowling & frowning & whining about things I'll forget tomorrow. It's so easy to be indebted to misery; wake up darling & shake off all this self-entitlement. We can afford to loosen up on grievances.

Chorus
I...I quit being miserable.
The world keeps spinning even if I don't spin with it.
I...I refuse to be upset over spilled milk & (my) growing thighs, apes disguised as boys in suits, charming smiles & ties.

Human condition says we're destined to be lonely, but maybe I don't want to be a part of this affliction. I'd rather be destined to spend my life inspired.

Chorus

I don't want to be burdened anymore by the trivial things

etc.

also, yuck I caved to the shameless self-indulence that is twitter:
