Lyrics
there is a monument in DC
Refers to a monument in Washington D.C.
where the semester lays her head
Symbolically portrays a time period or academic term.
and meanwhile i'm subdued up the coast under this moon
Feeling subdued or restrained while traveling along the coast under the moon.
(under this moon)
Reiterates the setting under the moon's influence.
these winters kill off what the summer thought it grew
Winter seasons destroy what the summer nurtured.
cause we know the,
Emphasizes knowledge of an undisclosed truth despite interference in transmissions.
we know the,
-we know the truth
-transmissions interfere
-we know the truth
-there is a penalty in sleeping (in sleeping)
Consequences associated with sleeping with a stranger.
with a stranger in your bed
Personal experience of being involved with someone while moving toward a significant arrangement.
see, i was moving towards a capitol arrangement
Desire or intention to progress towards a significant commitment, possibly a relationship, not previously expressed.
and spoke the words out loud that she has never said
-(she has never said)
-cause we know the,
Reiteration of knowing an undisclosed truth despite interference in transmissions.
we know the,
-we know the truth
-transmissions interfere
-we know the truth
-can't find her way
Struggle or inability to find a way, with vibrant emotions fading away between intimate encounters.
bright colors fade away
-between the sheets
-that's where we'll meet
-see, i was moving towards a capitol arrangement
Reaffirmation of moving towards a significant commitment and vocalizing unspoken thoughts.
and spoke the words out loud that she has in her head
-cause we know the,
Continued emphasis on knowing an undisclosed truth despite transmission interference.
we know the,
-we know the truth
-transmissions interfere
-we know the truth
-transmissions interfere.
Reiteration of the interference in transmissions but still knowing the truth.
we know the truth.
