Lyrics
So you want to call it a problem?
Expressing a reluctance to label or categorize a situation as a problem.
It's just a habit I have
Describing a habitual action without necessarily perceiving it as a significant issue.
I would like to kick it somehow
Expressing a desire to cease or overcome this habit.
It's like quitting cigarettes
Comparing the difficulty of quitting to stopping smoking.
But the harder that I try to break these chains
Highlighting the resistance encountered when attempting to break free from this habit.
The tighter they get
Emphasizing how the attempt to quit intensifies the hold of the habit.
And the longer that it takes to stop this car
Indicating that prolonging the effort to stop amplifies the feeling of being unable to control the situation.
The shorter the ride gets
Highlighting that the longer the attempt to quit, the less rewarding or satisfying it becomes.
Do you feel a sense of unexpected?
Suggesting a feeling of surprise or unforeseen circumstances related to the habit.
It's like waking up from sleep
Comparing a change in behavior to waking up from a deep sleep.
But I would like to keep things quieter
Expressing a desire for a quieter or more peaceful existence.
With my lighter and strings
Suggesting finding solace or comfort in familiar objects like a lighter and strings.
But the harder that I try to break these chains
Reiterating the theme of increased resistance when attempting to break the habit.
The tighter they get
Reinforcing the idea that efforts to quit only strengthen the habit's hold.
And the longer that it takes to stop this car
Emphasizing that the longer the struggle to stop, the less fulfilling the process becomes.
The shorter the ride gets
Highlighting a diminishing sense of satisfaction or progress in the struggle to overcome the habit.
I'm on the sidelines
Expressing being on the sidelines or not actively participating in a situation.
Keeping the bench warm for you
Metaphorically reserving a place for someone to return, hinting at waiting or readiness.
Reserved for old times

With old friends who never seem to age
Reflecting on friends who maintain a timeless quality despite the passing of years.
