Part Of The Process

Morcheeba's song 'Part Of The Process' delves into the complexities and frustrations of modern life, particularly the relentless pursuit of success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society where people are constantly changing places and falling proud, suggesting a sense of instability and the fleeting nature of achievements. The phrase 'time is money' underscores the capitalist mindset that dominates our lives, where every moment is monetized, and the pressure to succeed is immense.

The chorus, 'It's all part of the process, we all love looking down, all we want is some success, but the chance is never around,' captures the cyclical nature of striving for success. It highlights the irony that while everyone is eager to achieve, the opportunities to do so seem perpetually out of reach. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines 'How can we show, how to feel, situation ain't so real,' which reflect the disconnection and disillusionment people often feel in their quest for success.

The song also touches on the destructive behaviors that arise from this relentless pursuit. The imagery of 'smash they grab 'til it's gone' and 'chopping wood won't stop the rage' suggests that people resort to desperate measures, often to their own detriment. The line 'we're all companions on which we sail' serves as a reminder that despite these struggles, we are all in this together, navigating the same turbulent waters. Morcheeba's 'Part Of The Process' is a poignant commentary on the elusive nature of success and the societal pressures that drive us, often leading to a sense of collective disillusionment and frustration.
