Lyrics

We are aimless

We lack direction and purpose.

And our target is an empty wall

Our goal is unattainable, like aiming at an empty wall.

We're out of patience

We've run out of tolerance or endurance.

With smiles that cut across her face

Smiles on her face, though seeming pleasant, are superficial and don't reflect true emotions.

No complaints

Despite challenges, no grievances are voiced.

But I wish I had my top of my brain

Expressing a desire for clearer thinking or understanding.

I'd like to walk

A wish to move forward, but external circumstances hinder progress.

But the sun doesn't know we're awake

The sun is unaware of our wakefulness, symbolizing a lack of recognition or acknowledgment.


We're in spaceships

We're metaphorically traveling in spaceships, perhaps seeking escape or transcendence.

Take a visit to the Pyranees

Visiting the Pyrenees, a mountain range, as a metaphor for seeking higher perspectives or goals.

Paid vacations

Reference to paid vacations, but the brochure from the agency suggests a lack of personal control or choice.

Send a brochure from the agency

No complaints despite challenges in the relationship.

No complaints

Reiteration of the lack of grievances.

But my girlfriend dug a ditch in my room

A metaphorical ditch dug by the girlfriend, possibly indicating relationship troubles.

Walking papers and a hole

References to walking papers and a hole, suggesting the end of something significant.

Straight out from my shoes

Feeling exposed or vulnerable.


No complaints

Reiteration of having no complaints despite difficulties.

But it's harder

Acknowledging that believing in the truth is challenging.

To believe in the truth

A sense that the truth is elusive or difficult to accept.

She'll write a message

A metaphorical message on a billboard, possibly indicating a public declaration.

On a billboard

Plans to share this message.

And I'll send it to you

The sender will forward the message to someone else.


We feel painless

A sense of being without pain.

Check the status on the info line

Checking information but tainted in some ways, possibly hinting at misinformation or deception.

In some ways tainted

Recognition that some aspects are tainted or corrupted.

Radiation from the factory

Radiation from the factory symbolizes negative influences or consequences.

No complaints

No complaints, but recognizing that something is overrated.

But it's overrated, that's for sure

A realization that certain things are not as valuable as perceived.

Take a bus back

Suggesting a return journey from a specific location.

From Little Rock, Arkansas

Options include returning from Little Rock, Arkansas, or Modesto.

Or Modesto

Geographical references, potentially indicating a journey or escape.

That's where my dog comes from*
