Killing Time
Time's Embrace: Unveiling Austin Lucas' Reflections on Life and Longing
Lyrics
When the sun goes down
Reflecting on the end of the day
On the backside
In the less visible part of town
Of whatever town I’m in
Regardless of the location, I'll be there
You know I’ll be found
Contemplating and daydreaming
Dreaming of the way
Thinking about the graceful curves of your body
Your body bends
A slow descent into thoughts
It’s a slow decent
Comparing the pace to a lazy lion
Lazy as a lion
Seeking companionship
Looking for a friend
Recalling memories fondly
And I welcome the memory in
Repeatedly inviting the memories
Again and again
Until I become emotionally numb, just passing time
Till I get snow blind just killing time
Emphasizing the act of passing time
Just killing time
Expressing the monotony of passing time
I get snow blind just killing time
Reiterating the feeling of emotional numbness while passing time
Just killing time
Highlighting the repetitive nature of passing time
Smoke whatever smoked
Indulging in substances and activities without concern
And drink the cheapest wine
Choosing the most affordable options
Just killing time
Repeating the theme of passing time
I learned to be a man
Learning about manhood from action movies
Watching 80’s action movies
Shared experiences with friends
With my friends
Reflecting on personal identity
And I searched my reflection
Questioning self-worth and purpose
For traces of great American men
Questioning personal identity and role
I came to ask
Seeking validation or answers
If I’m supposed to be a fox
Expressing confusion about self-perception
Why do I feel like a hen
Feeling out of place or uncomfortable
What is this ringing in my head
Experiencing mental distress
Why am I frightened
Expressing fear or anxiety
By the way your body bends
Ambiguity about the impact of your presence
Till I get snow blind just killing time
Repeating the theme of emotional numbness while passing time
Just killing time
Emphasizing the repetitive and mundane nature of passing time
I get snow blind just killing time
Reiterating the feeling of emotional numbness while passing time
Just killing time
Highlighting the repetitive and cyclical nature of passing time
Smoke whatever smoked
Indulging in substances and activities without concern
And drink the cheapest wine
Choosing the most affordable options
Just killing time
Concluding with the theme of passing time and its routine nature
