Analysis of Unalive
Every step taken with caution-
So as not to step on others’ toes,
The assistant holding the suction,
As the dentist calculates the bill and the dose-
We fade away and become out of fashion,
Keep to ourselves our worldly woes.
Money spent on vocation and vacation,
And earned bringing daily deals to a close.
Unalive since you’re incapable of taking action-
When in your business you find their nose.
