Rooted in the existential idea of free will, rather than determinism which claims we are irresponsible for our fates, this song is concerned with the troubling realisation that everything we are and will ever be is a ‘choice’ of our making. The singer begs the universe to decide things for him, but...
[Verse 1]
In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be your early warning, but I'm not the only one
So forgive me, 'cause it's more than I can bear
You demand I make my mind up, I decided not to care
[Chorus]
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
[Verse 2]
I'm a victim of this day and age
I've forgotten how to feel, I've forgotten how to change
So I surrender to the apple of my eye
I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide
[Chorus]
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices
[Verse 3]
I could fake it, I could break it till it hurts
I could take whatever words you say, pretend I never heard
So forgive me, it shouldn't be so hard
It's the way I'm put together, so you're never getting past
[Bridge]
Can't we talk this through?
Actions are not what I'm used to
Can't we talk this through?
Actions are not what I'm used to
[Chorus]
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices (I surrender)
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices (Please forgive me)
Stop giving me choices (Oo-ooh)
Stop giving me choices
[Verse 4]
Without friction, we could float up into space
Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my place
In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be your early warning, but I'm not the only one
