Alarm Clocks
Surviving Love's Leap: Blind Liars' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
And I wish I could recall a time
Expressing a desire to remember a moment in the past.
I ever felt more alive
Describing a time when the speaker felt exceptionally alive.
Than a month spent strung out on your couch
Recalling a month spent in a state of dependency on someone's couch.
Leakin' out the eyes
Describing emotional pain, possibly through crying.
'Cause I finally took a leap of faith
Taking a significant risk motivated by love or commitment.
Too bad it was a dive
Regretting that the risk turned out to be a mistake.
The swimming pools were empty
Reflecting on empty swimming pools as a metaphor for the aftermath of the risk.
I'm lucky that I survived
Expressing gratitude for surviving the consequences of the risk.
But I'll do it all again
Willingness to go through the experience again for the sake of a specific person.
For you and you alone
Committing to the experience for the mentioned person alone.
Just tell me where to begin
Seeking guidance on where to start or how to proceed.
Just tell me where I went wrong
Requesting insight into where mistakes were made in the past.
There are too damn many broken hearts
Observing a prevalence of broken hearts in the world.
And too many muted screams
Highlighting the silence of suffering and pain.
Too many tornadoes through trailer parks
Metaphorically referencing destructive forces affecting vulnerable communities.
And too many TV screens
Commenting on the inundation of information from television.
And too many children thinkin' we're adults
Noting the premature assumption of adulthood by some children due to difficult circumstances.
Just cause we grew up like weeds
Comparing personal growth to the resilience of weeds.
And I wish it was all just nightmares
Expressing a wish for the troubles to be mere nightmares.
Alarm Clocks killin' dreams
Highlighting the disruptive nature of alarm clocks on dreams.
But I'll do it all again
Reiterating the willingness to go through challenges for a specific person.
For you and you alone
Committing to the experience for the mentioned person alone, again.
Just tell me where to begin
Asking for guidance on where to start or how to proceed, again.
Just tell me where I went wrong
Seeking insight into past mistakes, again.
'Cause I know I lost myself
Acknowledging a sense of losing oneself along the journey.
Somewhere along the way
Expressing uncertainty about the direction to take.
And I don't know just where to run
Feeling the need to escape but unsure of the destination.
But I know that I can't stay
Recognizing the impossibility of remaining in the current situation.
