Lyrics
I'm out, and i can't breathe
Feeling suffocated or constrained in a situation.
I know that it should be clean
Expectation for things to be pure or untainted.
But it's all wrapped up in a pretty bow
Appearances are deceiving; there's hidden complexity behind an attractive facade.
Think you've got it down
Thinking one understands a situation completely.
All around the town
Seemingly familiar surroundings, but encountering obstacles.
But the road's been blocked
Obstacles preventing progress.
Nobody around
Isolation or a feeling of being alone in facing challenges.
We won't hide away, won't go away
A declaration not to hide or disappear, but a warning about consequences if that desire arises.
But beware if we want to, beware if we want to
-We won't hide away, won't go away
-But beware if we want to, beware if we want to
-You know the sun shines bright on the other side of life
Awareness of brighter, better circumstances elsewhere.
Why aren't we there, why aren't we there
Questioning the absence or delay in reaching those better circumstances.
The promise heard but it's always out of sight
A promise or hope remains unfulfilled or elusive.
Why aren't we there, why aren't we there
Continuing to question the absence of desired circumstances.
Can't see, what you wanna see, can't be what you wanna be
Feeling unable to achieve personal aspirations or desires.
One and one keeps making three
A situation where things don’t add up or make sense.
Wait for a break, forever, goodness sake
Waiting endlessly for an opportunity or relief.
The game is rigged so you better win
Warning about the challenges being unfairly stacked against you.
We won't hide away, won't go away
Reiterating the intention not to disappear, but highlighting potential risks if that changes.
But beware if we want to, beware if we want to
-We won't hide away, won't go away
-But beware if we want to, beware if we want to
-You know the sun shines bright on the other side of life
Acknowledgment of better circumstances existing elsewhere.
Why aren't we there, why aren't we there
Continued questioning about the delay or absence of those better circumstances.
The promise heard but it's always out of sight
Reiteration of a promise or hope that remains unfulfilled or out of reach.
Why aren't we there, why aren't we there
Continued questioning about the absence of desired circumstances.
