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

Stating the inability to resist a certain influence or temptation.

It’s only the last time I pray to myself

Referring to a final prayer or reflection.

Too bad I’ll regret this

Anticipating future regret for a decision or action.

Cause all my friends are insecure

Repeating the theme of shared insecurities among friends.

And I just follow the leader wherever he goes
