Distances
Unveiling Life's Uncharted Territories with Atmosphere's 'Distances'
Lyrics
And I'm not your mommy
Rejecting a maternal role or responsibility
Never cared 'bout your money
Emphasizing indifference towards material wealth
And I left your party
Choosing to depart from a social event or gathering
'Cause y'all clowns are too funny
Criticizing others for being comical or ridiculous
You can dive off the stage
Metaphorically suggesting different choices or actions
Or you can climb up those curtains
Highlighting alternative approaches or options
It's alright to admit that
Encouraging acknowledgment of fear towards uncertainty
You're afraid of the uncertain
Presenting oneself as a candidate embracing instability
I'm here to audition
Expressing readiness to audition for an unconventional role
For the role of the unhinged
Suggesting an attempt to appear unintentional or spontaneous
Tryna act like it's an accident
Noting how villains sometimes achieve success
The bad guys catch wins
Addressing recurring nervousness or unease
I might just be nervous anxiety resurface
Expressing grievances with misuse or mishandling
I got issues with the misuse
Criticizing a shallow or inadequate purpose
And your excuse of a purpose
Staying committed despite criticism
I stayed until the finish
Claiming ownership of achievements or actions
To the dismay of my critics
Indicating indifference towards success or failure
When it's all said and done
Asserting lack of concern for others' opinions
Y'all can say that I did it
Advising against staring or intrusive observation
Or you can tell them I failed
Asserting individuality or uniqueness
I mean, I guess I don't care
Being easily noticeable or identifiable
That's none of my concern
Humorous reference to self-identification
Y'all gotta learn not to stare
Playful description of activities and origins
Stop, we not the same
Choosing seclusion or isolation
You can spot me from a plane
Refusing communication or engagement
Cowpie from the Southside
Expressing a desire for privacy and space
Floor hockey if it rains
Feeling misunderstood or unheard
Probably camped out at home
Recalling a time of disconnection or detachment
Won't answer the phone
Memory of distancing before it became commonplace
If y'all can understand
Forgetting a time of normalcy or routine
Leave me and my family alone
Reflecting on the passage of time and change
Might have to scream just to
Feeling the need to shout for attention or validation
See if they're listening
Expressing a sense of being overlooked or ignored
I been missing since back
Recollection of absence or separation predating distancing
Before the distancing
Memories of a time before physical or emotional distances
I don't remember a normal experience
Unable to recall a typical or regular experience
I been missing since back
Reflecting on disconnection before its normalization
Before the distances
Questioning the identity of the person speaking
Who is you talking to?
Repetition of a plea for isolation or privacy
Won't you please leave me alone?
Asking to be left alone or given distance
Who is you talking to?
Reiterating the desire for solitude or isolation
Won't you please leave me alone?
Requesting to be left alone or granted personal space
