[Intro] [stuttering vocoder vocals] Hedonism, hedonism Hedonism, hedonism Pleasure, pleasure I just wanna feel it [Verse 1] Yeah, full-out pursuit of pleasure Movin' with intention, every view gets better New endeavors, used to let the weather Tell me how to live, now rain or shine, whatever All about enjoyment, the work got annoyin' Told myself the sacrifice was somehow important Said that I was fine, but the truth was hard to ignore So I left that life behind and started lookin' for more Heard about a place where nobody hides it Where wantin' something good doesn't mean you fight it Had a vision in my mind, so I went and tried it Kept climbin' higher 'til I finally arrived there Looked around and thought, "Damn, is this what I've been missin'?" No permission, no conditions For the first time in a long time I was makin' my own decisions [Pre-Chorus] I used to be so disciplined Bound by every rule I lived within Then I got a little taste of it And everything started changin' Now I wanna feel everything Every color, every sound it brings Like I'm finally wakin' up To the pursuit of pleasure [Chorus] Now I'm livin' for the pleasure For the nights I know I'll still remember For the moments that don't last forever That's the pursuit of pleasure No more waitin' for a better Day to come and put my life together If it's here, then I wanna feel it That's the pursuit of pleasure [Verse 2] Now I'm a collector of joyful moments Small victories, open roads, doors left open Laugh too loud, stay out late, let time keep rollin' Anything that makes me feel like life ain't frozen Y'all can keep the stress and the expectations I spent too many years chasin' validation But freedom's got a funny way of changin' shape When everything you want is sittin' on your plate Some days it's flowers, I swear I'm alive Some days I wonder if I'm losin' my mind If every new high needs another behind it How much is enough before pleasure turns blinding? I wanted freedom from all those rules Now I'm wonderin' if desire makes rules too Funny how the thing that set me loose Can start feelin' like something I've gotta prove [Chorus] So I'm livin' for the pleasure Every little thing that makes life better Good company and timeless moments All of it together Yeah, I'm livin' for the pleasure Not because I need the high forever Just enough to know I'm really here That's the pursuit of pleasure
