Lyrics
My shoes don’t fit
Feeling uncomfortable or uneasy
My head is tight
Experiencing tension or stress
I watch the basketball
Observing a basketball game
Passing by
Watching it pass by or occur
Come on, Barrie, do it right, come on
Encouraging oneself to perform better or correctly
Come on, Barrie, do it right, come on
-Why am I left standing alone?
Feeling abandoned or left out
Basketball
Referencing basketball again
Let my knees give under me
Desiring physical collapse or weakness
Feel my fist go white
Experiencing intense tension or stress
Basketball
Reference to basketball once more
I float off from the wall
Feeling detached or separate from the surroundings
Like a flake of paint
Comparing oneself to a detached piece of paint
They lose me honestly
Being genuinely lost by others
With a thoughtful fake
Using a deliberate deception or trick
Put my head up
Changing physical posture and position
To my hands
-Come on
-Put my belly
-In the sand
-Come on
-Why am I left standing alone?
Feeling abandoned or left out, repetition from earlier
Basketball
Reiteration of basketball reference
Let my knees give under me
Desiring physical collapse or weakness, repetition from earlier
Feel my fist go white
Experiencing intense tension or stress, repetition from earlier
Basketball
Reference to basketball, repetition from earlier
(I mark my name in concrete
Symbolic act of leaving a mark, being remembered
Dig Barrie into the street…)
-Hear the big one after me
Sensing a significant presence or entity following
Feel my fist go white
Experiencing intense tension or stress, repetition from earlier
Basketball
Reference to basketball, repetition from earlier
Let my knees give give under me
Desiring physical collapse or weakness, repetition from earlier
Feel my fist go white
Experiencing intense tension or stress, repetition from earlier
Basketball
Final reference to basketball
