Pins and Needles Lyrics

Cover art for Pins and Needles lyrics by Mute Math

You my mp3 player has had a recent kick of mutemath and after a long excruciating day at work I can really relate to this song. I'm trying to find a new job, and the first verse nails it... "plotting how to build myself to be - everything that i am not at all" really shows how hard i want to move out of my job and yet the experience that I lack in where I want to go. With the statement "why must i work so hard..." is a great parallel to the thankless job that I do yet I still like to get my paycheck and enjoy spending some money (wishing I was making more in my mind though)... all in all - i'm just one of them, those broken people, in a rut trying to get out.
