The Pursuit Of Happiness: The 1st Movement Lyrics
"What on earth am I doing here anyway?
I've spent all my attention on the world and its distractions.
I've no time for reflection.
No, I just go, go, go.
It's just go, go, go."
"I've got all these good intentions.
I just don't have the time."
We all wish for more.
And more hours in a day.
But I think it's safe to say.
We just need to breathe and slow down.
Slow down and ask yourself right now.
Slow down, you're falling asleep in traffic.
Slow down, you're losing your soul.
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
But I can't quench my thirst.
I'm always missing something.
Maybe I just need more.
Or maybe I should just breathe and slow down.
Slow down and ask yourself right now.
Slow down, you're falling asleep in traffic.
Slow down, you're losing your soul.
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
In numbers and dollar signs.
And when I awake, it's only one prize away.
I've never known anything else.
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
it's simple. it's hard to find happiness in our society. when it's all "go, go, go" for everyone else but oneself. their brilliant. and they'll be huge without a doubt.

I think its about how he is trapped in an ever changing world, and he's losing the race. He needs to slow down, take a moment to reflect.
i think it means how he keeps misunderstanding the real pursuit of hapinness and how what hapiness means to the world these days and to him is nothing more than just money and stuff. he thinks that its complete with materialistic things but hes not satisfied and can't "quench his thirst"... yeah..
we all need to just take time to slow down and take time to do what makes us happy
we all need to just need to slow down and take time to do what makes us happy.
"when I fall asleep I dream of happiness in numbers and dollar signs"
brilliant.
"when I fall asleep I dream of happiness in numbers and dollar signs"
brilliant.
I think this has to do when everyone general idea that no one is ever satisfied with their accomplishments and we all push for more, more, more. I relate to this song so much. Around my junior year of highschool I amped up my already jam-packed school schedules for harder classes so I can get into better colleges and then make more money. I'm obsessed with success. I guess you could simply say that this song relfects the singer's drive to success but he wishes to take a moment for himself to relax and reflect on his decisions.
