Sahara
Deserted Dreams: Biting Elbows' Evocative Journey Through Urban Desolation
Lyrics
Early in the morning
Beginning the day
Sweet fumes in the breeze
Enjoying pleasant odors in the air
Window cracked open
Window slightly open
Driving past the factories
Passing by industrial areas
Like the Sahara
Metaphorically comparing the environment to the Sahara desert
It's a desert out here
Describing the area as deserted and barren
In my mind
Internally, having a clear perspective
Everything is clear
Clarity of thought or purpose
Honey
Addressing a person affectionately
Why don't you come round no more
Questioning the absence of the addressed person
Honey
Repeated question about the person's absence
I lose if you're keeping score
Expressing a sense of loss or defeat
All I wanna do is leave this town
Desire to escape the current location
I don't wanna hang around
Aversion to staying in the town
All I wanna do is leave this town
Reiteration of the desire to leave the town
I wanna see it burn down
Expressing a wish for the town's destruction
Surely without warning
Anticipation of a sudden emotional release
I'll reach a release
Expectation of finding relief
Nose cracked open
Sensory experience of a strong scent
Feeling weak in the knees
Physical reaction, feeling physically weak
Like the Atlantic
Comparing the situation to the vastness of the Atlantic ocean
It's an ocean out here
Metaphor for the overwhelming nature of the environment
In my eyes
Internally, perceiving something profound
Salt from your tears
Tears contributing to a metaphorical ocean
Honey
Repeating the question about the person's absence
Why don't you come round no more
Reiteration of the person not coming around
Honey
Stating the person wins in the context of absence
You win if you're keeping score
Reference to keeping score in the relationship
All I wanna do is leave this town
Reiterating the desire to leave the town
I don't wanna hang around
Reinforcing the aversion to staying around
All I wanna do is leave this town
Repetition of the wish to leave the town
I wanna see it burn down
Expressing a strong desire for the town to burn down
All that I do
Declaring personal actions are not performed for someone else
Well I don't do it for you
Emphasizing independence and lack of actions for others
I don't ever do
Confirmation of not doing anything for the addressed person
Anything for you
Affirmation of not doing anything specifically for the person in question
