Ticking away
The moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours
In an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
Waiting for someone
Or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

Poor bastard was waiting for Windows update to finish.

Surviving in love, surviving in hate
We still have to die, there can be no escape
Clock in, clock out, forty hours a week
Our lives being spent with no real truth to speak

Same. Especially this song. More chills given than any other song. I'd assume I've listened to it 200 times or more at this point

I wonder what motivational posters workers in the Bahamas have on their wall

People crave what they don't have.

Maybe they just have a big sign that just says "HERE".

Or possibly a window?

A picture of some depressing city alleyway that's says

"Laugh at the losers who are stuck with this out their window"

It's not like you can afford anything else.

Vacation? With what money?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

The song calls for a radical change of paradigm, not a vacation. A vacation would be nice, though.

I'm one of the rare people who'll say that I wish I spent more time at work.

Lost touch with most of my friends during the lockdowns, no romantic connections pending, and home sucks. Work is my escape.

Man, I wish. There's a lot of money in that field.

There is always time (until there isn't)
