Jaded Lyrics

Cover art for Jaded lyrics by Green Day

Overindulging in drugs for sensational feelings leaves you with a bad comedown, returning to being normal and sober but with added feelings of despair. Drugs only last for so long until the high is up and the after effects kick in, left with the feeling of being different from society.

Progression in life doesn't mean you have to be a generic obedient citizen, it's simply progression of yourself. There is no God or afterlife, so what's the point of living? Being in a pleasurable state of mind may be what you're content with as oppose to succeeding in life.

Thinking outside of the box with inspiration from drugs, meanwhile emotions are being played with severely. The common person is a slave to the trade five days a week for a third of the day, wasting the little time we have on earth working for somebody else to get rich off of your duties.

Props to you. That was well said and some what profound even. Also hit the nail on the head. Being jaded is way more than being stoned as so many people have posted.
