Lyrics
Speaking softly to a mad clock
Contemplating quietly in the presence of a chaotic situation or mindset.
Trying to figure if I'm really feeling bad or not
Uncertain about experiencing genuine distress and attempting to discern true emotions.
'Cause we prefer to keep the back locked
Preferentially keeping the past hidden or locked away.
Walk out the front while I'm wearing my mismatching socks
Leaving through the front door with a carefree attitude, despite inner turmoil.
Back of my head just screaming "tick-tock"
Feeling a sense of urgency or pressure, possibly related to time.
Soundtrack of the day just ripping through my thoughts
The soundtrack of the day strongly influencing thoughts and emotions.
And what a lovely day it is out there
Expressing appreciation for the beauty of the day despite inner struggles.
Storm has gone away
Referring to the passing of a storm, symbolizing the resolution of difficulties.
Guess I forgot what it felt like (But I)
Forgetting the sensation of a positive emotion.
Suppose the roses really smelled nice (Felt right)
Reflecting on the pleasant aspects of life, like the fragrance of roses.
Now I guess I'll find my way back up the stairs
Deciding to move forward and face challenges.
Residue out on a laptop
Remnants or lingering effects present on a laptop, possibly from creative pursuits.
Smoky haze painting pictures for the backdrop

Treading water while we're land-locked
Feeling stuck or restricted, both mentally and physically.
Drink a hundred cups of coffee til I have to stop
Using coffee excessively, potentially as a coping mechanism until forced to stop.
Water the back and break a flip-flop
Watering the metaphorical 'back' while encountering a minor mishap.
Now the sunlight's got me reeling like a spinning top
Experiencing a sudden and intense impact of sunlight, causing disorientation.
And what a lovely day it is out there
Reiterating the appreciation for the day's beauty after overcoming challenges.
Storm has gone away
Confirming the departure of difficulties, reinforcing the positive atmosphere.
Guess I forgot what it felt like (But I)
Reconnecting with the sensation of positive emotions.
Suppose the roses really smelled nice (Felt right)
Recalling the positive aspects of life, such as the pleasant scent of roses.
Now I guess I'll find my way back up the stairs
Choosing to move forward and face challenges once again.
Tomorrow, yesterday, today
Expressing difficulty in recalling the sequence of events or the passage of time.
I can't remember
Experiencing memory loss or confusion about the past.
Along the way the spring began to fade

Now it's December
Highlighting the current month as December, possibly symbolizing an end or closure.
Wad of cash stuffed in a matchbox
Keeping a significant amount of money hidden in a small container, possibly for security or privacy.
Don't turn on the news because it's just too sad to watch
Avoiding exposure to distressing news due to its emotional impact.
Walk in the kitchen take my mask off
Returning to a familiar and comfortable environment, removing a metaphorical mask.
Throw some frozen hash browns on the flat top

Tune in my head sounds like a jackpot

But I'm too tangled up in sky feel like an astronaut
