Lyrics
Nose down, what you gonna do when
Nose down, contemplating actions when
Parties fade and your makeup starts to smear
Parties fade, and the effects of celebration become apparent as makeup smears
Only scene is a grand entrance
Only notable event is a grand entrance
Silver screen is another brand new year
Silver screen symbolizes a new year, emphasizing a cinematic perspective
In a sea of talcum power
In a context of superficial elegance
Kids swim and they lose their color
Kids lose their individuality in conformity, likened to losing color in a sea of talcum powder
Clock strikes twelve
Clock strikes twelve, marking a significant moment
Say, don't ya feel so well?
Questioning well-being at this juncture
As the confetti falls
Confetti falls in synchronization with tears, suggesting a bittersweet celebration
Timed with the tears
The timing of confetti coincides with emotional expressions
No one wants to hear
No interest in hearing about personal struggles or hardships
about your hardwood floors
Disdain for discussions about materialistic concerns like hardwood floors
In stalls of the magic markers
In spaces filled with creativity and imagination
Boys and girls come and go like coats of paint
People come and go like changing coats of paint
All you've got is a pretty name
Emphasizing the value of a superficially attractive name
You shouldn't be killed off in the very first scene
Arguing against premature dismissal or judgment
On the porch with the smokers
Among those engaged in social activities
Party talk gets much older
Conversations at parties become mundane and repetitive
Clock strikes twelve
Clock strikes twelve again, reiterating a crucial moment
Say, don't ya feel so well?
Questioning well-being once more at this significant time
As the confetti falls
Confetti falling again, reinforcing the theme of celebratory emotions
Timed with the tears
The timing of confetti aligns once more with tears, suggesting persistent mixed emotions
No one wants to hear
Continued lack of interest in personal struggles or hardships
about your hardwood floors
Reiteration of disdain for discussions about materialistic concerns like hardwood floors
