"Dopamine" lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Feeling down, totally spent,
Can I have another long weekend?
Back to the grind, already end of May,
Dreaming of another trip, counting the days.
Getting on Leetcode for a pick-me-up,
Dumb idea, still sluggish and backed up.
Need that spark, although not far away,
Reluctant, for that game we play.
(Chorus)
Dopamine, you pull my strings,
In this cycle, my heart swings.
Seek the high, with unavoidable lows,
But it's the only life I know.
(Verse 2)
Feeling down, come what may,
Bills pile up, there's no escape.
Grubhub, dining out, whatever it takes,
Just something to chase the ache away.
Hit the gym, just like yesterday,
Lift the weight of my own dismay.
Sweat and strain, feel the rush within,
But it fades, and the doubt begins.
(Chorus)
Dopamine, you pull my strings,
In this cycle, my heart swings.
Seek the high, with unavoidable lows,
But it's the only life I know.
(Bridge)
Is it a sense of entitlement,
Or falling victim to a demon?
Lacking motivation to be wholesome,
Knowing, willingly, I defy the summon.
(Chorus)
Dopamine, you pull my strings,
In this cycle, my heart swings.
Seek the high, with unavoidable lows,
But it's the only life I know.
(Outro)
In the end, as the days go by,
Sometimes I don't even try.
It is a choice, to be down sometimes,
In this dance, where dopamine triumphs.
