insignificant - matt gould lyrics

[verse 1]
we talked about life insurance
we’re going to die
that is the one assurance
we live by
we’re grains of sand in a desert
flakes of dust in the light
searching for treasure
nothing in sight

[pre*chorus]
we were young and bright, young and bright
taught that we were always right
everything that glittered was our destiny
we were living out a fantasy
we’d get a house on a hill with an oak tree
money and everybody knows me
“you’re important,” thеy told us
that’s the f*cking bill of goods somebody sold us

[chorus]
wherе’s the house on the hill?
was it here, was it real?
bring it back
i don’t wanna feel insignificant
insignificant
[verse 2]
my man says i’m fatalistic
’cause i’m a jew
he’s a black man in america
that can be fatal too
or maybe we’re lucky
allows us to see
nothing in life is promised
freedom ain’t free

[pre*chorus]
but i drank it up, drank it up
the lie something’s owed to us
i wanted money and fame and effusion
i want the mirage, want the delusion
but in the end, the end, the lie gets out of hand
close up, i find i built my big old house on sand

[chorus]
where’s the house on the hill?
was it here, was it real?
bring it back
i don’t wanna feel insignificant
insignificant

[bridge]
this house gonna fall down (this house gonna fall down)
this tree gonna burn (this tree gonna burn)
spare you the heartache (spare you some heartache)
if you only learn (if you just learn)
so let the old house fall down (let the old house fall down)
let the old tree burn (let the old tree burn)
spare you the heartache (spare you some heartache)
if you only learn (if you just learn)
[chorus]
you’re insignificant

[outro]
knowing your place gives you the sp*ce to dream
to be free, to be small, to love your life and that’s all
to be here, to be kind, to not know what you’ll find
to have grace, humility, vulnerability too
to respect every part, unburden your heart
to fail and to grow, to win and to know
it’s a chance to expand, extend out your hand
to let the world see your magnificence
how vast and how small, that is it, that is all
that is all
