Lyrics
When I come down
Expressing a state of coming down, possibly from a high or an altered state.
I can't feel a thing inside except my bones
Feeling numb internally, with a focus on the physical aspect of the bones.
And she don't mind
Indicating that someone doesn't mind as long as the speaker is alive upon returning home.
As long as I'm alive when they get back at home
Highlighting the value of the speaker's life to someone, possibly a significant other.
Goes to show that no one cares about no life except their own
Reflecting on the self-centered nature of people who care primarily about their own lives.
Even though, I've given every thing I've got, I still don't know
Despite giving everything, the speaker still feels uncertain or unaware of the outcome.
If I'll ever be painless
Expressing a desire or uncertainty about being free from pain.
If I lessen my dose
Considering the possibility of reducing a substance or activity causing pain.
Man, I wanna go places
Expressing a longing to explore unconventional or less traveled places.
That most people don't go
Desire to experience unique and uncommon situations.
Blue cellophane, my own escape
Introducing the metaphor of "Blue cellophane" as a personal escape.
I'll be fine 'til it's gone
Confident about being okay until the escape is no longer available.
Will I ever be painless?
Reiterating the uncertainty about achieving a painless state.
Or will I go on?
Raising the question of whether the speaker will continue or overcome the pain.
When I come down
Repeating the experience of coming down, associated with negative emotions.
I don't ever feel okay, I feel afraid
Feeling consistently uneasy or fearful, not okay even after coming down.
That she'll come back
Concerns about past mistakes resurfacing with the return of someone.
And with her, she'll be bringing all my worst mistakes
Anticipation of negative consequences accompanying the return of a person.
Goes to show that no one cares about no life except their own
Reiteration of the self-centered nature of people regarding their lives.
Even though I've given every thing I've got, I still don't know
Despite giving everything, the speaker still feels uncertain or unaware of the outcome.
If I'll ever be painless
Expressing a desire or uncertainty about being free from pain.
If I lessen my dose
Considering the possibility of reducing a substance or activity causing pain.
Man, I wanna go places
Reiterating the longing to explore unconventional or less traveled places.
That most people don't go
Reiterating the desire to experience unique and uncommon situations.
Blue cellophane, my own escape
Reintroducing the metaphor of "Blue cellophane" as a personal escape.
I'll be fine 'til it's gone
Confident about being okay until the escape is no longer available.
Will I ever be painless?
Reiterating the uncertainty about achieving a painless state.
Or will I go on?
Raising the question of whether the speaker will continue or overcome the pain.
