Lyrics
Getting lost in nostalgia again
Reflecting on past memories and experiences, feeling nostalgic.
I put on the records that bring me back to that place
Listening to music that takes the listener back to a specific place or time.
If I could only open my eyes to the inspiration
Wishing to find inspiration, possibly struggling with closed-mindedness.
I don't eat enough
Experiencing a lack of nourishment, both physically and metaphorically.
It's a bed with no sheets
Describing a bed without sheets, implying a lack of comfort or warmth.
No comfort without the warmth
Expressing discomfort without the emotional warmth that is needed.
I'll drink this one for you
Toasting or dedicating a drink to someone significant.
But it's the last one
Indicating that this drink will be the last one, possibly signifying closure.
It's our first drink of the year
Marking the first drink of the year, a symbolic moment.
It drops off of my face on to your strings
Tears falling onto musical strings, suggesting emotional expression.
We will have a smoke and sing along with sad songs
Sharing a moment of smoking and singing along to melancholic songs.
These old dead strings resonate deeply tonight
Emphasizing the deep emotional resonance of old, worn-out guitar strings.
I hope you're lying next to him
Expressing a desire for the company of someone else, possibly regret.
Thinking about what we could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and what could have been.
I'm drinking alone again
Drinking alone, possibly coping with loneliness or heartbreak.
You told me you loved me
Recalling a past declaration of love from the other person.
I never told you why I couldn't respond for months
Explaining the inability to respond to the declaration for months.
I could never repay you for the years of support
Acknowledging gratitude for years of support, feeling indebted.
Sleep is for the week
Challenging the notion that sleep is a sign of weakness.
Maybe that's why I can't lift this pen
Attributing difficulty in writing to a lack of rest or sleep.
Always you in my brain stabbing at my memory
Constantly thinking about a particular person, affecting memory.
I'd rather sleep all week
Expressing a preference for sleeping throughout the week.
Sleep is for the week
Reiterating the idea that sleep is not a priority or a sign of weakness.
I'd rather sleep all week
Repeating the preference for extended periods of sleep.
It's our first drink of the year
Recalling the symbolic first drink of the year, possibly a significant event.
It drops off of my face on to your strings
Repetition of tears falling onto guitar strings, emphasizing emotion.
We will have a smoke and sing along with sad songs
Repeating the theme of sharing a moment with sad songs and smoke.
These old dead strings resonate deeply tonight
Reiterating the profound emotional resonance of aged guitar strings.
