Lyrics
Swallowed in loose skin that was my armor when I was young and thin
Reflecting on the past, feeling swallowed by the changes in appearance that served as protection in youth.
I'd spend those nights in sorrow at the river's edge with widows and broken men
Recalling nights of sorrow spent by the river with widows and broken individuals.
Passing a bottle around as the wall came down to flood my festered sins
Sharing a bottle as a metaphorical wall breaks down, confronting accumulated sins.
Sweep the dust up and pile it to the sky
Symbolic act of cleaning up the past, piling dust to the sky.
I'll be just fine
Expressing resilience and optimism, stating that everything will be fine.
Sweep the dust up and brush it to the side
Continuing the theme of cleaning up, brushing dust aside, and asserting well-being.
I'll be just fine
Reiterating confidence and assurance in being fine despite challenges.
Sweep the dust up from yesterday's one
Cleaning up the remnants of the past, referring to "yesterday's one," perhaps a past love or mistake.
I swore you'd come and blister my tongue
Recalling a promise or expectation of someone (possibly the listener) causing emotional pain.
Sweep the dust up and pile it to the sky
Repeated theme of cleaning up and expressing confidence in overcoming challenges.
I'll be just fine
Reiterating optimism about being fine despite the burdens of the past.
Fell over in a heap and almost drowned within the sheets
Describing a vulnerable moment, falling into a heap, and nearly drowning in sheets, possibly metaphorical for a troubled relationship or emotional turmoil.
She spoke to me between her mangled teeth and sunk her hooks inside me like a seed
Depicting a communication fraught with difficulty, marked by damaged teeth, and describing a manipulative attachment.
And then came rushing out
Describing a sudden emotional outburst or revelation.
I can recall it now
Recalling a significant event from the past, possibly the "favorite one" from yesterday.
Yesterday's favorite one
Referring to someone or something as "yesterday's favorite one," suggesting a significant past influence or memory.
It almost mattered for a minute and then it didn't again
Highlighting a fleeting importance or significance that ultimately fades away.
It almost mattered for a minute and then it didn't
Repeating the idea that something almost mattered but lost its significance.
But then again with all the things I said and all the things I did
Reflecting on past words and actions, acknowledging their impact or lack thereof.
