Queen Anne
Journey through Queen Anne: Revelations of Life and Identity
Lyrics
Slouching towards Bethlehem, you're gonna die someday
Expressing a fatalistic view, suggesting an inevitable end to life in the future.
Bagels and lox, Mary's kicked the can
Reference to the passing of someone named Mary, using informal language ("kicked the can") indicating death.
You in your easy chair, Reading the evening news
Describing someone in a comfortable position, passively consuming news or information.
The break room sucks and the tensions are high
Describing a negative atmosphere at work with heightened stress levels.
But you know she cares, It's all the truth
Acknowledging care from someone despite difficulties; an affirmation of honesty.
but god I don't, I don't wanna be you
Expressing a strong desire to avoid becoming like the person addressed or mentioned.
Fishing up in Queen Anne, Joe says you're a beauty queen
A scene of fishing in Queen Anne where someone compliments another as a beauty queen.
And I didn't stutter in our mother tongue
Confidently communicating without hesitation or faltering.
Dissolve in a sardine can, it's homecoming, kiss me, man
Suggesting a feeling of belonging in a confined space and wanting affection.
And I hum along, but you don't hear me
Feeling unheard despite participating or engaging in some way.
And you know there's rocks, it's a powerful, steady wake
Recognizing obstacles or challenges that create a significant disturbance or effect.
If there's one thing that's true, I don't wanna be you
Reiterating a strong aversion to embodying the characteristics of another person.
I'm alive in Queen Anne, cinescope at my hand
Feeling vibrant or full of life in Queen Anne, with access to cinematic experiences.
But it hurts to whistle when you bite the dust
Experiencing pain or discomfort when attempting to express oneself after facing defeat or failure.
Built a kaleidoscope, it's a vesicant motor boat
Metaphorically creating something intricate but potentially harmful, like a poisonous motorboat.
So if you lick poison, don't touch your face
Warning against the dangers of handling something harmful and the need for caution.
And you know we can't, Have dinner with you man
Expressing an inability to socialize or interact due to certain circumstances or limitations.
If there's one thing that's true. I don't wanna be you
Reiterating a strong aversion to adopting the traits or lifestyle of another person.
