[Instrumental Intro: Quirky Bassline, Funky Guitar, Playful Keys, Tight Drums]
[Verse 1]
Something’s off, you smell it first
Could’ve been better, could’ve been worse
Tried to stir it, tried to spin
But you know what you’re standing in
Half-baked plans and leftovers
Going back just makes it worse
You can laugh or you can pout
But you know what it’s about
[Pre-Chorus]
You can dress it up, disguise the truth
But it’s still the same from every view
Second chances, same old loop
Running circles in the soup
[Chorus]
Just take a look
(It’s up to you)
Do you wanna re-cook
(Or pursue anew?)
Read the signs
(They’re in plain view)
Keep refrying
(Or break on through?)
[Instrumental Break: Clavinet Groove, Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
Tried to fix it, tried to save
Every move just dug the grave
Spinning wheels in the same old lane
Different story, same old stain
You can scrape it off the top
But you know it doesn’t stop
Every shortcut, every dodge
Still leaves you in the same façade
[Pre-Chorus]
Truth is simple, hard to face
You can’t clean up every place
If the root is off the loop
You’ll keep finding peas in the…
[Bridge]
When there’s peas in the poop
(Do you wanna scoop?)
Keep digging in
(Or change the group?)
Laugh it off
(Or face the truth?)
Stay stuck inside
(Or cut it loose?)
[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Tone]
You already know…
You saw it coming…
So what are you gonna do?
[Build: Snare Roll, Rising Bassline]
[Final Chorus]
Just take a look
(It’s up to you)
Do you wanna re-cook
(Or pursue anew?)
Draw the line
(Choose what’s true)
Stay in the mess
(Or make it new?)
[Outro: Funk Groove Fades, Playful Ad-libs]
Peas in the…
Yeah, you knew…
Peas in the…
What you gonna do?
[Final Hit]
(Up to you)
