Takeaway Coffee by Requiem (AU) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Requiem]
A human who spent near 6 in the humid
City, now back down south gettin’ busy
Or sippin’ whisky, highball in Kyoto
Trippin’ down a path that I don’t know
Move in slow mo, at light speed, simultaneous
Sex and death dance feelin’ dangerous
We’re made of dust
Maybe just, relax, let the wave hit you
Realise the small things are superficial
Stupid rituals, still they grab me
Bringing more trouble than Milton Bradley
Bored of the game, maybe I’ll buy a quasi Ferrari
Staying too long at the party
As dusk settles I trust mental, play to win
Pray the Lord forgave my sins
And hey it’s been, 3 decades I’ve gone-far
I don’t need to buy that sports car
[Hook: Requiem]
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
[Verse 2: Requiem]
This ain’t a quarter life crisis
At best I’m a third the way through
So forget stress, I just wanna make tunes
Learn to accept love, from others, and myself too
Cos how you help the rest when you can’t help you?
Self sabotage as I map my past
Overthink my future
Take whatever’s next with some humour
Ignore the rumours
Get where I’m going sooner
Growing older, but I’m feelin’ newer
Search for colour in my book to make a splash
Don’t wanna be a rapper who never took a chance
A plate in Japan with cans of cheap beer
Spendin’ Yen as the fear disappeared
On a cross road like Robert Johnson
No time for blues cos we’re all gone-soon
Wash away doubt, go back to the monsoon
Nah, backwards never an option
[Hook: Requiem]
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
[Bridge: Requiem]
Greys in my hair, greys in my eyebrows
Grey world view too old for gettin’ high now
Yeah I did my way, could say I took my route
Where to next? Guess I’m gonna find out
Greys in my hair, greys in my eyebrows
Grey world view too old for gettin’ high now
Yeah I did my way, could say I took my route
Where to next? Guess I’m gonna find out
[Hook: Requiem]
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
Life’s a takeaway coffee
Amazing but disposable
Have another? Yeah I spose I will (spose I will)
Stuck in a certain way
This day to day, feels so throwaway (throwaway)
