Can’t help but notice
Your find this whole life thing a drag
Think this shits bogus, it is and you know this
Seeing in my peripheral
You try to suffer your bullshit
You find it all difficult
Giving up is typical
And I’m typical like you
And I I’m scared of getting older
It weighs upon my shoulders
And you, you’re scared of it too
So we maybe should get together
Take it all on better
We should try something new
Something new
Couldn’t help but notice
You’ve 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
Don’t make me wear all black
Just stay and throw that thing back
Don’t make me wear all black
Just stay and throw that thing back
Baby, please stay, please stay, please stay
And I I’m scared of getting older
It weighs upon my shoulders
Yes and you you’re scared of it too
You’re scared of it too
So we maybe should get together
Take it all on better
(Take it all on better)
We should try something new
(Try something new)
Hop inside my Beamer with me, time to hit the road
Tomorrow’s modern boxes, tank and gas, girl let’s go
Who can swear 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 sitting next, we’ll get high
Then find a spot that’s so secluded and do what lovers do
I love being reclusive and I love being with you
Facing Disillusionment and Embracing Change
“Disillusioned” by Caesar and Daniel paints a vivid picture of the universal anxieties tied to adulthood and the desire for something more. The song opens with candid observations about dissatisfaction and the struggle to find meaning, making it instantly relatable.

The Power of Connection and Reinvention
As the track progresses, there’s a noticeable shift from despair to renewal. The lyrics celebrate small victories—cleaning up, opening up to others, and seeking joy in new experiences. The call to “try something new” and escape together is both a literal and metaphorical journey, suggesting that facing life’s uncertainties is easier when shared. The final verses evoke a sense of freedom, intimacy, and the thrill of spontaneous adventure.
