Lyrics
I can still see the moon on the night we met
I have a vivid memory of the night we first met, with the moon visible.
It was shining like the grin of a fool
The moon appeared bright, resembling the grin of someone foolish or carefree.
You got into the van, drew all over the roof
You entered the van and doodled on the roof for reasons unknown, but I found it intriguing.
I don't know why, but I thought it was cool
Despite not understanding, I considered your actions cool.
You were all Doc Martens and Clove cigarettes
You had a distinctive style with Doc Martens boots and Clove cigarettes.
Black Beauties and Blue Label beer
You indulged in Black Beauties and Blue Label beer.
And though I licked every one I finally lost count
I counted the piercings around your right ear, though I lost track eventually.
Of all the holes pierced round your right ear
A reference to various nights spent engaging in harmless but rebellious activities.
All of the nights spent in harmless crime
Introduction of the recurring theme - the whine of youth - a bitter, rebellious outcry.
When will I have a better time?
A humorous take on the noise youth makes, with a playful reference to snoring.
The whine of youth, bitter roar
A description of the intense and complaining nature of youth.
The whine of youth, hear me snore
Mocking the whine of youth, perhaps suggesting it's not taken seriously.
Ten years later standing in Cozumel
A reference to a moment ten years later in Cozumel, possibly a significant event.
Left foot on a poisonous fish
A dangerous situation involving a poisonous fish and the left foot.
You almost died and your mouth turned blue
You faced a life-threatening situation, and I only thought about your lipstick.
All I thought of was your lipstick
Highlighting a focus on superficial aspects during a critical moment.
A lifetime gone and my only art left
Reflecting on the passage of time and the limited achievements, reduced to Vicodin and PS2.
Is Vicodin and PS2
Expressing a sense of loss and the impact of time on personal achievements.
I think now and then what might have been
Pondering on what could have been, with the potential outcome being bald, broke, and morally compromised.
Bald, broke and morally screwed
Humorous reflection on the consequences of certain choices and life paths.
Those were the days, God, we kicked some ass
Nostalgic reminiscence of past days when they felt powerful and rebellious.
You punkass kids get off my grass
A playful admonition to the current youth, asserting authority and superiority.
