Lyrics
Up past midnight
Contemplating late at night about the potential direction of life
Wondering where this life could go
Uncertainty about life's path, despite advice from a fortuneteller to remain unaware
Even my fortuneteller
Even the fortuneteller prefers not to reveal the future
Said that she'd rather me not know
Fortuneteller's suggestion that ignorance of the future might be better
Right now
Current moment of time
Sunday morning
Reflecting on a Sunday morning, contemplating life's difficulties
Wonder how hard it can get
Wondering about the severity of life's challenges
Something bad is coming
Sensing an impending negative event
Light my lucky cigarette
Using a lucky cigarette to counteract or cope with the anticipated negativity
We were so lost
Repeated emphasis on feeling profoundly lost or directionless
We're so lost
-We were so lost
-We're so lost
-Bad news breaking
Receiving distressing news about a family member's health
'Bout my cousin back at home
Specifically about the deteriorating health of a cousin due to smoking
They said his lungs are blackened
Confirmation of lung damage due to smoking
Should have never let him smoke (smoke)
Regret for allowing the cousin to smoke
My dad screams murder
Father's intense reaction due to incomprehension of the situation
'Cause he'll never understand (never understand)
Expressing the father's inability to grasp the circumstances
I'm not my brother's keeper
Distancing oneself from the responsibility of another's actions
Keep his blood off of my hands (blood off of my hands)
Desire to avoid blame or involvement in a tragic situation
We were so lost
Reiteration of feeling lost or directionless
We're so lost
-We were so lost
-We're so lost
-Knocking at my door
Someone seeking intimacy or connection by knocking at the door
She said she wanted more
Expressing desire for a deeper relationship
Though you're not my type
Admitting that the person isn't the speaker's usual type but allowing them to stay
I'll let you stay the night (night)
Willingness to spend the night together despite differences
Knocking at my door
Repetition of someone seeking intimacy or connection
She said she wanted more
Repeating desire for a deeper relationship
No I'm not your type
Rejecting the idea of being the person's type
You're my Lucky Strike
Comparing the person to a 'Lucky Strike' cigarette, implying luck or chance encounter
