Tachycardia
Unveiling Life's Quirky Realities
Lyrics
It's a mass grave
Describing a burial site with numerous bodies.
A dollar-fifty resting place
Highlighting the cheap cost of the resting place.
On the north face
Referencing a location, possibly a metaphorical uphill struggle.
It's a rope I've gotta climb
Metaphor for facing challenges or obstacles.
I'm a stone's throw from everyone I love and know
Expressing physical proximity to loved ones.
But I can't show up looking like I do
Unable to reveal true feelings or state of being.
In an old suit my hair is slicked back nice and smooth
Describing a presentable appearance in a difficult situation.
In a court room, sweat rolling down my back
Portraying discomfort and stress in a legal setting.
It's a bad dream
Referring to a recurring distressing experience.
I have it seven times a week
Frequency of a distressing dream.
No it's not me
Denying personal association with the dream.
But I'm the one who has to die
Accepting a symbolic death or sacrifice.
Needs a cold draw to slow his tachycardia
Desire for a calming influence to reduce rapid heartbeat.
In a dark bar the world just melts away
Escaping reality in a bar setting.
And you feel fine
Feeling content and at ease.
Your feet can just lose track of time
Enjoying a moment without concern for time.
It's a good sign when he can stay awake
Positive indication of alertness and attentiveness.
On a slow day the rain against the windowpane of the cafe
Describing a rainy day in a cafe.
She spills the coffee grounds
An accidental spill, possibly symbolizing a mistake.
And the same thought hits her like a cinder block
Reflecting on a recurring negative thought or burden.
Life's an odd job that she don't got the nerve to quit
Life is a challenging task that one hesitates to quit.
Yeah it's just there
Referring to something present or noticeable.
At the bottom of those spiral stairs
Describing a location with spiral stairs.
It's the world's fair
Comparing life to a world's fair with future possibilities.
The future's on display
Suggesting a display of potential in the night.
In the still night
Highlighting a moment of stillness and revelation.
They turned on the electric lights
Turning on lights symbolizing awareness or understanding.
And the crowd cried out
Audience's reaction to a surprising display of the future.
Everyone looks so amazed
Observing the amazed reactions of the crowd.
