Matters Matters Songtext
von Exchecker

They say time flies by when you′re having fun
But then they turn and look behind when every day is done
Ay
Ay
They say time flies by when you're having fun
But then they turn and look behind when every day is done
Each year it becomes clear that there′s a new better way
To leer and jeer at the mistakes we've made
To judge our faults in high definition
And to cover our inhibition under a silver screened schism
Our memories are defined by their time spent in prison
The impression they leave confined by a chip inside a chip inside a chip inside a chip
Our perception limited by the pictures on your memory stick
So called permanent memory, unless of course it's lost
Or the planetary satellite decides to take flight
Grey matter has the means to keep the memories that matter
The chit chat chatter of the shit inbetween fades


And we wake another day, awoken to the idea
That the shit that matters matters and the other shit disappears
Ay
Ay
And then we wake another day, awoken to the idea
That the shit that matters matters and the other shit disappears

We track our tracks on this planet, take a photograph in granite
Then we wait till next year to uncover the mistakes in this imperfect puzzle
Some call it life
I call it the way we sacrifice our strive
To look back on the past, with rose tinted iPhone apps
Till another interrupts to waste more time
Our real time is distracted by the time we′re told we′re lacking
Instagram says it's been so long since we′ve seen you
Why don't you click over here, we′ll show you what you're missing
That′s another 10 minutes spent rented from your collection of tainted memories
Remembered by the response and tempered by the cost in time
That you shelled out of your real life
And continue to do so as we're hooked on the prospect
That 5 years ago today we had the time and lost it
To write down the shit that mattered on a glass piece of matter
Ay
Ay


And then we woke another day, awoken to the idea
That the shit that mattered mattered and the other shit disappeared
And then we woke another day, awoken to the idea
That the shit that mattered mattered and the other shit disappeared
