about

Cheers with a glass half…empty. “Cheers” reflects on a generational attitude of lethargy and purposelessness. Inspired by my friends who are bored with life, hate their jobs and don’t know what to do about it, “Cheers” is a window into the millennial brain that craves the extraordinary and fears having no legacy. Acoustic guitar ascends into an angsty pop-rock climax, sonically capturing Gen X-Z frustrations of the times.

lyrics

Big kids with big dreams
Shooting stars they fall
Nothing’s as it seems
Nothing’s changed at all

Waking up ‘cause the clock says seven
Speeding up, can’t be late again
Cup of joe on the go this morning
Like every morning
Lip gloss and a little bit of hairspray
Lining up, get my ass on the subway
For my health tell myself that it’s my day today

Cheers with a glass half empty
We think that we got time
We think that we got plenty
Beers worth every penny
Big kids stuck on big dreams
We’re shooting stars with no legacy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Blue collar but I try to bleach it white
On the ground but I’m meant to be a kite
Cold calls to cold folks on the weeknights
(Like every single night)
Got a job but I want a profession
Feeling stupid ‘cause I still don’t learn my lesson
Is this it? Should I quit? Good question
Good question

Oh oh oh oh

Cheers with a glass half empty
We think that we got time
We think that we got plenty
Beers worth every penny
Big kids stuck on big dreams
We’re shooting stars with no legacy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I’m not being emo
I’m just really sad though
That X, Y, Gen Z is hollow
But we follow the rainbow

I’m “Bad Will Hunting”
Fuck confronting
Our sorrow tomorrow
So raise your glass to one thing
Raise your glass to one thing

Cheers with a glass half empty
We think that we got time
We think that we got plenty

Big kids with big dreams (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Shooting stars they fall (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Nothing’s as it seems (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Nothing’s changed at all (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Big kids with big dreams (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) – no legacy
Shooting stars they fall (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) – with a glass half empty
Nothing’s as it seems (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Nothing’s changed at all
