I think this song is about how society has changed throughout the years to something so unhealthy. This is him(Reuben) realizing how the world is tough place and how fast it has happened thats why the name f the song is Focus and goes on to say “don't miss a thing”. Probably my favorite part of the song is the last verse
Here's some anxiety to keep you company
As you waste your energy trying to build your legacy
Tell me what more can a man do than eat, drink, and enjoy his toil
I want to be casual but taking it easy is too stressful
Anticipation now a days looks a lot more like anxious
Time killed away our imaginations
We used to escape into fantasies and fairytales
Now we medicate
How do you feel?
This whole verse just seems directed to anyone in general who is living off all the mundane things the world generates, from here on is him criticizing society, what even more powerful it the fact that he includes himself in the problem... Saying that because time goes by too fast, we mistake our expectation with anxiety and we think everything can be fixed with a pill.
