Slam poetey

 The song is gonna talk about is the song Overthinker 

The song talks about the concept of thinking, 

"A person who thinks all the time"
"Has nothing to think about except thoughts."

One of the first lines of the song talks about thoughts, and how they can just divulge into nonsense. 

"I'm not saying that thinking is bad"
"Like everything else, It's useful in moderation"

In the next paragraphs of the song it's said that "Like everything else, It's useful in moderation" refiring to thinking about things like work where if you overthink things then you can become very worried about things and in the next line "And all so-called civilized peoples" "Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive" Relates to this. 

"A great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed" "And to read about it the next day in the newspaper" "Is oddly more fun for us than the original event"

And I think that this is referring to social media and how basically everything that we do is recorded on them, and how we can just peer into others live using it. 

"This is a disaster" "We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses"

I think that this just refers to the whole song and what it is. 

"Time to wake up" "what is reality?" "Obviously no one can say" "Because it isn't words" "It isn't material, that's just an idea"
"Reality is-"
"The point cannot be explained in words"
This is one of the final paragraphs in the song and I think that even the singer doesn't know what reality is and that's supported by the line "what is reality?" "Obviously no one can say" "Because it isn't words" "It isn't material, that's just an idea" "Reality is-" Where the singer doesn't really say what reality is. This leads to the final line of the song which is "I'm not trying to put you down" "It's an expression of you as you are" "One must live" "We need to survive, to go on" "We must go on"
