Lyrics

He erased the phase, you're halfway through.

Erasing a phase in life, reaching a midpoint.

Stacked up debts, cash for regrets

Accumulating debts in exchange for remorse.

And the good times you had, well they just weren't yours

Reflecting on past good times that didn't feel genuine.

We saw who dropped you off a block from the store

Observing someone dropped off discreetly near a store.

His drilling will stick, now we can predict

Anticipating the lasting impact of someone's actions.

The excuses you'll make, and whose words they'll all take

Predicting excuses and whose opinions will be valued.


Up against the odds

Facing challenges and difficulties.

Tight around the jaws

Experiencing pressure or stress.


Say goodbye to the team, said the separator

Saying farewell to a group, possibly a social or professional team.

(I'm not sure on this line)

(Uncertain meaning, left open for interpretation)

You'll learn to sell out what you bought into

Compromising values for personal gain.

You'll come to second-guess the smile she just gave you

Doubting the sincerity of a recent smile received.

I'm here to tell you, you're playing with dolls

Warning about engaging in trivial or childish pursuits.

And making explosion sounds, everyone heard

Noticing public awareness of actions, possibly immature ones.


I can't see how we're worth getting over

Questioning the value of overcoming challenges.

Overall, we will be lower

Expecting a decline or setback in the overall situation.


Thank the separator

Expressing gratitude to a figure separating or distinguishing something.

The best parts are in coming later

Anticipating better things in the future.


Overall, we will be lower

Expecting a general decline or lowering of circumstances.
