adulting 101 Lyrics by Milena Noir

slut for chaos

2024

(Verse 1)
I’m supposed to cook dinner, but I burnt the toast
Got a job that’s paying bills, but I’m broke as a ghost
Laundry’s piling up like a mountain of socks
But who needs a life when you're stuck in a box?
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m buried in shit I’ll never get through
Trying to act fine, but I’m fucking screwed
They tell me to chill, but I’m losing my mind
Just pretending I’m fine, while I’m dying inside
(Chorus)
Adulting 101, where dreams go to die
Stuck in a loop of self-improvement and lies
They say we’re all learning, but I’m barely alive
How did we get here? And when can I thrive?
It’s a beautiful mess, yeah, the truth is a joke
Trying to be perfect, but I’m barely afloat
I’m drowning in emails and Pinterest quotes
But hey, at least I’m trying to cook dinner
Right?
(Verse 2)
I’m supposed to work out, but I can’t leave my bed
Scrolling through Insta, my brain’s full of dread
Gonna read some books, yeah, and maybe I'll write
But I’m too busy hating myself tonight
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m twenty-six, still waiting for my “success”
Pretending I’m fine, but I’m a mess in a dress
They say, “Take it slow,” but I’m running in place
Someone just tell me, when do I win this race?
(Chorus)
Adulting 101, where dreams go to die
Stuck in a loop of self-improvement and lies
They say we’re all learning, but I’m barely alive
How did we get here? And when can I thrive?
It’s a beautiful mess, yeah, the truth is a joke
Trying to be perfect, but I’m barely afloat
I’m drowning in emails and Pinterest quotes
But hey, at least I’m trying to cook dinner
Right?
(Bridge)
I’m stuck in my head, can’t get out of this space
Pretending I’m fine, but I’m just a hot mess today
I’m chasing these goals, but I don’t even care
I’m so done with this grind, don’t need to be there
It’s all just a joke, but I’m still holding on
I’ll fix it eventually and maybe I won’t
I’ll work on myself when I feel like it more
But first, I’ll nap on the floor
'Cause I’m totally bored
(Verse 3)
Adulting 101, where your soul gets sold
They promise you freedom, but you’re doing what you’re told
I’ll find my passion, yeah, someday, I swear
I’ll learn another language when I’m breathing air
Maybe, if I care
(Chorus)
Adulting 101, where dreams go to die
Stuck in a loop of self-improvement and lies
They say we’re all learning, but I’m barely alive
How did we get here? And when can I thrive?
It’s a beautiful mess, yeah, the truth is a joke
Trying to be perfect, but I’m barely afloat
I’m drowning in emails and Pinterest quotes
But hey, at least I’m trying to cook dinner
Right?
(Outro)
I’ll fix it all or I’ll just stay a mess
But for now, I’m drowning in stress
Just surviving and faking success
Shit, I’m barely keeping it together
Just a fucking wreck
