Medium Pacer Lyrics

I'm not a racer, a medium pacer
I've got my problems getting out of bed
you could say I'm far from dressed up
that's alright 'cos I feel I overslept

I'm into this
I spend the day wondering what I'm going to be doing next
I spend the day wondering what I'm doing next

I'm underwhelming, not like a bee sting
more like an itch that never needs a scratch
people say I can't be happy
here's the thing, those people got it wrong

I'm into this.....

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Medium Pacer lyrics by Fauves, The

by Cloudmatter

11y ago

This song is about an ex-Australian cricketer Max Walker. The first verse describes how he is your average Aussie guy, nothing real special and prone to the odd late night.

It chorus then ramps up the tempo which describes how Max then decided to live life fully and take on new challenges. These included joining the commentary team and becoming an award winning author.

The final verse tells us that Max was no champion is the same vein as Dennis Lillee and that he lacked that knock out punch that you need to be succesful. It then relates this to how others would perceive him in life. Was he a failure, did he underachieve? The moral of the song comes through in the final lines and can be translated to mean you dont have to be succesful in everyone else's eyes to be a success. If you are happy inside then that is the true measure of success.
