Lyrics
Almost time to start again
Expressing readiness or anticipation for a new beginning.
It’s kind of hard to take my feet up off this earth
Feeling grounded and finding it challenging to detach from reality.
I take all of my time here
Dedicating time to the current moment or situation.
I don’t know why you’d think I would do this
Questioning someone's expectation of a particular action.
In a small town where everyone knows your embarrassments
Highlighting the challenges of living in a small community where personal flaws are well-known.
My friend he cares for me
Acknowledging a caring friend.
I’m his shadow in the darkest part of town
Being a supportive presence for a friend in difficult times.
Where he hangs out and smokes here
Describing a location where the friend spends time, possibly a troubled area.
He stays high all the time, cause a ruckus in the commons
Describing the friend's tendency to stay high on substances and cause disturbances.
Teacher said to please use your inside voices
Recalling a teacher's instruction to use indoor voices, possibly a metaphor for inner reflection.
You can’t resist this, oh no
Indicating that resisting something is not an option.
It’s only the first thing that popped in my head
Mentioning a spontaneous thought without much consideration.
Too bad you’ll regret this
Foreseeing regret for a decision or action.
Cause all my friends are insecure
Pointing out the insecurities shared by the speaker's friends.
And I just follow the leader wherever he goes
Emphasizing a tendency to follow a leader figure without questioning.
My friends of friends are here
Noting the presence of secondary acquaintances.
They said to take my feet up off the couch
Recounting a request to change behavior in a shared space.
I apologize and they say
Apologizing for the behavior and receiving a rejection or exclusion.
You don’t belong here
Expressing the feeling of not belonging.
We are all monsters
Describing a collective identity as "monsters."
You will be a carcass and we'll treat you like the fool out of all of us
Warning of potential mistreatment and exclusion for not conforming.
I got caught up now, oh wow
Expressing surprise or realization about being entangled in a situation.
It’s only the fourth time I count all my sins
Mentioning a repetitive self-assessment of wrongdoing or guilt.
All is lost in the trainwreck
Describing a situation as chaotic or destructive.
Cause all my friends are insecure
Reiterating the shared insecurities among the speaker's friends.
And I just follow the leader wherever he goes
Emphasizing the pattern of blindly following a leader.
I can’t resist this, oh no

It’s only the last time I pray to myself
Referring to a final prayer or reflection.
Too bad I’ll regret this
