Disillusioned Lyrics

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
I couldn't help but notice
You find this whole life thing a drag
You think this shit's bogus
It is, and you know this
Seen in my peripheral
You try to suffer bullshit
You find it all difficult
Givin' up is typical
You're not typical are you?

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & serpentwithfeet]
And I, I'm scared of gettin' older, it weighs upon my shoulders
And you, you're scared of it too
So we, maybe should get together
We'll take it all on better
We should try something new, something new, new

[Verse 2: serpentwithfeet]
Couldn't help but notice you
Been smelling the roses
Looking less mad and more focused, focused
Damn, you cleaned up your space
Inviting folks to your place
Everybody hates Chris, not you
Everybody's sweet on you, boo, ooh
Don't make me wear all black
Just stay and throw that thing back, ooh
Don't make me wear all black
Just stay and throw that thing back
Baby, please stay, please stay, please stay
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
And I, I'm scared of gettin' older, it weighs upon my shoulders
And you, you're scared of it too (You're scared of it too)
So we, maybe should get together
We'll take it all on better (Take it all on better)
We should try something new (Try something new)

[Outro: Daniel Caesar]
Hop inside my Beamer with me, time to hit the road
Tomorrow's modern boxes, tank of gas, girl let's go
Who cares where we end up, 'long as it's a place that's cool
Pasadena, Malibu, let's go somewhere new
Let's go to a boardwalk watch the people walking by
We'll make fun of their outfits, we'll be cynics, we'll get high
Then find a spot that's so secluded do what lovers do
I love being reclusive and I love being with you

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Time is a theme in the album, Daniel constantly reflects back on his youth and regrets. Daniel starts to realize that his time is limited on this world, so he begins to try new things. In fact, he’s been feeling this for a while now. In an interview, he said,

I don’t know, I guess I’m feeling time now, I’m getting older. I always felt invincible, but I get hangovers now, I can’t drink like I used to. And I just feel a lot new responsibilities and reliability from people, but I guess thats what I asked for

According to a teaser by Daniel prior to the album release, this track used to be track 2 of the album on September 14, 2022.
