The Boredom Is the Reason I Started Swimming. It's Also the Reason I Started Sinking Lyrics
Foreign countries, hardwood floors, and trying to sleep
Foreign languages on all three channels of TV
I don't want no drama or baggage
Don't tell me complicated stories about who you used to be
But are different and have changed as a person completely
And I am not sure that I want any single part of this
Any single part of any of this shit
Cause everybody pays
Everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of the program, get with the program
Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake and pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping, you're probably even listening
Keep it simple and honest, stop crying you're an adult
I could stand up, I could man up
It's just so convenient to be fragile
This pain is constant and sharp
Watching the singles that you send
I wanna feel lethal, on the inside
I wanna read American Psycho again
But I'm not sure that I want any single part of this
Any single part of any of this shit
Cause everybody pays, yeah everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of a program, get with the program
Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake and pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping, you're probably even listening
You're not even sleeping, you're probably even listening
Even listening
But everybody pays, yeah everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of the program, get with the program
Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake and pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping, you're probably even listening
You're not even sleeping, you're probably even listening
Even listening to me

For me, this song is about touring and the stress that it can bring. I heard that touring can take its toll on artists and for me, thats what this song is about.
Specificly, I think its about how touring with the band, can cause the singer (I.E, Brian Sella) to feel depressed and lost. In the first stanza, he is talking about not understanding the situation he is in and feeling away from home. in the chorus, I think he talks about the effect that touring is having on him. after the chorus, he talks about having to "suck it up" and keep going.
after that, he repeats the chorus. I just wanted to elaborate on why I think this song is about touring.
