Escaping Reality: A Tale of Identity and Distance
Lyrics
I built a world inside my head
I created a world within my mind
Where I could play the postman
Imagining a scenario where I act as a postman
Just to steal the mailbox
With the intention to steal the mailbox
from my Garden
From my own garden or surroundings
I’d redirect my letters
I would redirect my own letters
Or I’d maybe try to stall them
Or potentially delay them intentionally
Just for one last morning
Just to prolong a specific moment or feeling
Wherever
Regardless of wherever I am
The weather carries on
No matter the ongoing circumstances
I’ll meet you at the bar
I'll meet you at a social gathering place (like a bar)
Come dressed as everyone
Come dressed in a manner similar to everyone else
remember your name
Recall your identity
cause you were never anyone
Because in the past, you were not distinct or memorable
I’d be anybody else if you’d ask me
I would change myself to be anyone you desire
I tried to spend some time with you again
I attempted to spend time with you once more
But you don’t like me
But you don't like me
Neither do I
And I don't like myself either
I guess we’re better where we are
So perhaps it's better to remain where we are
Wherever
No matter the circumstances or surroundings
The weather carries on
I'll still meet you at the same social place
I’ll meet you at the bar
Dress similarly to others when you come
Come dressed as everyone
Recall your identity once more
remember your name
Because previously, you were not distinctive
cause you were never anyone
(Empty line)
You had the velvet lining in your casket made
Describing a showy way of being laid to rest
What an ostentatious way to go
The elevators aimed at the brightest places or goals
The elevators headed for the brightest lights
Seeking a mood boost before departing
I need a pick me up before I go
(Empty line)
Lacing up my shoes I’ll run as fast
To reach you as fast as possible
As I can to you
Hoping I can endure or persist
hoping that I last
(Empty line)
Wherever
No matter the circumstances or surroundings
the weather carries on
I'll still meet you at the same social place
I’ll meet you at the bar
Dress similarly to others when you come
Come dressed as everyone
Recall your identity once more
