Lyrics
Blowing out my birthday candles like
Reflecting on blowing out birthday candles, one falls off the table, creating a potential fire hazard.
One of them's rolling off the table
Describing the incident of a candle rolling off the table.
And about to start a fire
Noticing the risk of a fire starting due to the fallen candle.
Then I smell birthday smoke
Sensing the smell of birthday smoke, likely from the candles or the incident.
Look around at everyone's face
Observing the expressions on people's faces during the birthday celebration.
How I loathe expressions
Expressing dislike for expressions that haven't changed in two decades.
That in twenty years haven't changed
Highlighting the stagnant nature of certain facial expressions over the years.
And if I'll never get this off my chest
Contemplating the difficulty of revealing something personal and unresolved.
Why would I bother change?
Questioning the motivation to change if the burden is never lifted.
Permanent stupid teen
Describing oneself as a permanently foolish teenager.
Locked in going braindead
Feeling mentally stuck and on the verge of becoming braindead.
I just wanted it around
Expressing a desire to have something comforting around during difficult times.
In my back pocket when I'm down
Keeping a memento in the back pocket for emotional support during low moments.
I put up with the pressure for so long
Enduring pressure for an extended period.
But finally cracked when I got home
Reaching a breaking point upon returning home.
Waiting for it in the laundry aisle
Waiting for something in a mundane setting (laundry aisle) in the early morning.
At four:thirty am and my whole body is on fire
Experiencing intense physical discomfort at 4:30 am.
Everybody knows I'm broke
Public awareness of financial difficulties.
They wanna eat my pain
Others want to consume or share in the pain.
Baby gets barbecued
Metaphorically, someone faces consequences for attempting to alleviate the pain.
For trying to take it away
And if I'll never get this off my chest
Raising the question of change when the burden persists.
Why would I bother change?
Reiterating the idea of being a permanently foolish teenager.
Permanent stupid teen
Feeling mentally stuck and on the verge of becoming braindead.
Locked in going braindead
I just wanted it around
Keeping a memento in the back pocket for emotional support during low moments.
In my back pocket when I'm down
Enduring pressure for an extended period.
I put up with the pressure for so long
Reaching a breaking point upon returning home.
But finally cracked when I got home
I just wanted it around
Keeping a memento in the back pocket for emotional support during low moments.
In my back pocket when I'm down
Enduring pressure for an extended period.
I put up with the pressure for so long
Reaching a breaking point upon returning home.
But finally cracked when I got home
