Lyrics
They still look at you like a lost battalion
People still view you with the perception of a disoriented group.
Calling on all downs that you once made home
Recalling past experiences that were once comforting or familiar.
My apologies to your lost battalion
Expressing regret or sympathy for the disoriented group mentioned earlier.
They still look at you like your loss is so great
Others still see your losses as significant and impactful.
Sha la la
Repetitive syllables indicating a sense of rhythm or chant.
Let's go let's go
An invitation or encouragement to move forward or progress.
Soft soft silver bang like a banks hydraulics
Describing a quiet, smooth sound resembling the operation of hydraulic systems in a bank.
The air it hangs its head and your cat has passed out
The atmosphere is heavy with a subdued mood, and a pet cat is asleep.
You polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics
Finishing or refining one's thoughts within the context of banking systems.
Soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut
A gentle, smooth sound when the bank vaults are closed.
Sha la la
Repetition of syllables indicating a continued rhythmic pattern.
Let's go let's go
Encouragement to continue moving forward or progressing.
Down so let down and down again
Feeling let down or disappointed, descending emotionally.
The doubt it takes you down another step
Doubt causing a decline or setback in one's progress.
Down you feel so down that all you think
Expressing a deep emotional low where positive thoughts are challenging.
Sha la la
Repetition of syllables indicating a continued rhythmic pattern.
Here comes everybody from the outside
A group, representing the collective, is approaching from the external world.
They all want the same things that you hate
The collective desires things that you strongly dislike or oppose.
Turn your face back on and crack a smile
Turn away from the negativity and put on a fake smile.
Here comes everybody you never cared for
The approaching group is one you have never had affection for.
Sha la la
Repetition of syllables indicating a continued rhythmic pattern.
Let's go let's go
Encouragement to continue moving forward or progressing.
Down so let down and down again
Feeling let down or disappointed, descending emotionally.
The doubt it takes you down another step
Doubt causing a decline or setback in one's progress.
Your only alibi comes just like
Your only excuse or justification arrives casually.
Sha la la sha la la
Repetition of syllables indicating a continued rhythmic pattern.
Let's go let's go
Encouragement to continue moving forward or progressing.
They won't be happy for you.
The approaching group won't find happiness or satisfaction for your achievements.
