Lyrics
A star burst and a planet is born
A celestial event leads to the creation of a planet
A father is the frequency you hit when you yawn
A metaphorical connection between a father and the frequency experienced during yawning
A mother, sister, brother torn between
Family members torn between an 'other' and a brother who sings
A other and a brother sits and sings
Reference to familial relationships and someone singing
There's eyes on us when we split the C's
Observation that others are watching when the C's (seas) are split
And the class, many of us can plant the seeds
Many individuals in the class have the ability to plant seeds
Elephant tusk and belly shots with all our needs
Metaphorical imagery of elephant tusks and belly shots representing basic needs
And if we gotta go back, then we better be free
Expressing the need for freedom if there is a return
It's not going down, but I don't care about that
Asserting that even if things are not going well, the speaker doesn't care
'Cause when it's happiness and laughing, I don't care about that
Indifference to problems when there is happiness and laughter
They're talking nothing while they're laughing while we're bringing it back
Others talk while laughing, but the speaker is focused on bringing something back
Well they can bob on and that, 'cause we don't care about that
Disregard for others' opinions, emphasizing that they don't care
So, it gets shook then we must be pleased
If things get disturbed, the speaker is pleased
Blow the dust off the book, that's so easy to read
Suggesting the simplicity of understanding by blowing dust off a book
All the happiness is up, it still happen to be
Happiness is present, but the speaker looks away when it's not directed at them
I look away when it looks, it ain't looking at me
Turning away when attention is not reciprocated
But we never stop running away
Repetition emphasizing the theme of continuously running away
We never stop running away
-We never stop running away
-We never stop running away
-I feel as if I never know
Feeling uncertain or unaware
Sometimes you're up
Alternating between ups and downs in life
And sometimes you're down
-Sometimes you're up
-And sometimes you're down
-Spark, from day dark
Describing experiences of being lost, the plot, and challenges
We was lost in the plot, gone quicker than a shark
-It's a lot, it a know, it's not what you think
-There's a link in the barrel, straight at the
-When I sink, when I grapple, best to make the tackle
-When I think we don't have or need to eat a apple
-See you winkin' and tackle, changing through the channel
-I got animals lookin' at me
Awareness of being observed by animals
But we never stop running away
Reiteration of the theme of constantly running away
We never stop running away
-We never stop running away
-We never stop running away
-I feel as if I never know
Feeling uncertain or unaware (repeated)
Sometimes you're up
Continuation of the cycle of ups and downs
And sometimes you're down
-Sometimes you're up
-And sometimes you're down
-And sometimes you're down
Repetition of the fluctuating nature of life
And sometimes you're down
-And sometimes you're down
-I feel as if I never know
-Sometimes you're up
Continued expression of life's ups and downs
And sometimes you're down
-Sometimes you're up
-And sometimes you're down
