Transient Reflections: A Tale of Loneliness and Redemption
Lyrics
The elevator, in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The elevator in the hotel lobby has a slow-moving door.
The man inside is going to a hotel room
A man inside the elevator is heading to a hotel room.
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
He quickly exited upon seeing me, possibly feeling uncomfortable or avoiding interaction.
Decided he better hike it to the second floor

Its temporary, this place I'm in

I permanently wont do this again

My belongings scattered across the hotel floor

Now then later, I was thinking it over by the snack machine

I thought about you and a candy bar

The now and laters, now that I've got, stuck between my teeth

I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year

A man gets lonely, for heavens sake
A man can feel lonely and is curious about the activities of the person they're thinking about.
He's wondering only what did you do today
The person wonders what the listener did that day.
The worlds spinning around into an old, sad song
The world feels like it's moving in a sad, repetitive manner.
Well it's coming down outside like Ive never even seen before
It's raining heavily outside, an intense sight for the speaker.
I fell into some kind of sorry state
The speaker feels emotionally low or troubled due to the circumstances.
But looking back now, I think it's time for me to laugh about it
The speaker feels it's time to find humor in the past and move forward positively.
And get my things together and find something to say
The speaker plans to gather their belongings and express themselves.
Well I feel awful, and I believe
The speaker feels terrible or deeply unhappy.
That time gets wasted in this misery
The speaker believes that time spent feeling miserable is a waste.
And darling, I never wanna come back home
The speaker expresses a desire not to return to their previous state of mind or circumstances.
