Lyrics
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
Expressing a desire to sever ties or relationships today.
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
Describing a bridge made of old wood, suggesting a relationship that would easily burn away.
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Expressing an attempt not to be negative, but acknowledging that some people are unpleasant.
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck
Some people deserve to be cut off or dismissed, attributing it to bad luck.
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
Introducing a "drugstore cowgirl" who avoids boredom but neglects many things.
She's always running from something so many things ignored
Describing the drugstore cowgirl as always running away from things and ignoring many aspects of life.
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like shit
Expressing reluctance to engage in certain activities because they make the speaker feel terrible.
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it
Adopting an old reality mindset with many experiences.
Beautiful disaster
Introducing the concept of a "beautiful disaster."
Flyin' down the street again
Describing a fast and reckless movement down the street.
I tried to keep up
Attempting to keep up with the beautiful disaster.
You wore me out and left me ate up
Expressing exhaustion and feeling consumed by the beautiful disaster.
Now I wish you all the luck
Wishing luck to the beautiful disaster despite the challenges faced.
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
Comparing the beautiful disaster to a carefree butterfly in the wind.
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
Seeing the beautiful disaster as a pretty train crash, acknowledging it but not caring.
I do, I don't, whatever
Expressing ambivalence or indifference towards the situation.
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
Reintroducing the drugstore cowgirl and her fear of boredom.
She's always running from something so many things ignored
Highlighting her tendency to run away and ignore many things.
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
Expressing an attempt not to be like the drugstore cowgirl but finding inspiration for a song.
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along
Declaring that there is nothing worth seeing, and people should move on.
Beautiful disaster
Repeating the concept of a "beautiful disaster."
Flyin' down the street again
Describing the beautiful disaster's fast and reckless movement down the street.
I tried to keep up
Attempting to keep up with the beautiful disaster again.
You wore me out and left me ate up
Expressing exhaustion and feeling consumed once more.
Now I wish you all the luck
Wishing luck to the beautiful disaster again.
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
Reiterating the comparison of the beautiful disaster to a carefree butterfly.
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
Viewing the beautiful disaster as a pretty train crash but maintaining a lack of concern.
I do, I don't, whatever
