Dallas did an acoustic rendition of Boiled Frogs for Em9 990700 G6 550000 G6/9 557700 G13 454000 D5 007700 Em 222000 A5 777000 Drop D [Intro] Old man sits at his desk One year from retirement And he’s up for review Not quite sure what to do Each passing year The workload grows [Verse] I’m always wishing I’m always wishing too late For things to come my way It always ends up the same I must be missing I must be missing the point Your signal fades away and all I’m left with is noise [Chorus] So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight There’s so much to dream about there must be more to my life [Verse] Poor little tin man still swinging his axe Even though his joints are clogged with rust My youth is slipping my youth is slipping away Safe in monotony (so safe) day after day My youth is slipping my youth is slipping away Cold wind blows off the lake and I know for sure that it’s too late [Chorus] So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight There’s so much to dream about there must be more to my life [Outro] So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight There’s so much to dream about there must be more to my life Between the light and shallow waves is where I’m going to die So wait up for me (x3)

Cette chanson évoque les réflexions d’un homme qui se rapproche de la retraite, face à un travail de plus en plus pesant et à un sentiment d’angoisse quant à l’avenir. Il semble pris dans une routine qui l’oppresse, avec un désir d’évasion et de nouveaux rêves. La mélancolie se dégage de sa constatation que le temps file et que sa jeunesse s’éloigne, tandis qu’il cherche à ne pas affronter la solitude de la nuit. Le ton est empreint d'une certaine nostalgie, soulignant ce besoin de connexion et de sens alors qu’il se rend compte que les jours se suivent et se ressemblent. Cela met en lumière une quête de sens dans un monde qui parfois semble figé.
