Lyrics
Do you wear a black or white dress in the summer
Contemplating superficial choices, questioning the color of a dress in the summer.
Because I saw the cosmos fall
Observing a cosmic or profound event, possibly a metaphor for a significant change.
In and out of your glass as you drank up
Noticing the reflection of the cosmos in a glass while drinking.
And everyone knows the light you have
Acknowledging a positive aura or charisma that is evident when the person appears.
When you come around the corner
Describing the visual impact of the person turning a corner.
Fishin our astroid bones out of the sand
Metaphorically retrieving remnants of a shared experience from the past.
And putting us back on the truck
Restoring memories or experiences, likened to putting them back on a truck.
I like to think I'm not cold
Expressing a belief in emotional warmth despite appearances.
Even less with a bottle in hand
Suggesting enhanced emotional warmth with the presence of a bottle.
Hope you never have to wait for me to be done
Expressing a desire for uninterrupted companionship without waiting.
I know my name but the way you sing it back to past
Reflecting on self-awareness and how one's name is echoed in the past.
And all the carnival carnage leaves me
Describing the aftermath of chaotic events, feeling like a pillar of salt.
A pillar of salt and you a barrel of a gun
Contrasting personal reactions to adversity, feeling like a pillar of salt versus a barrel of a gun.
And its like
Introducing a reflective moment, posing questions about attractiveness and the passage of time.
Are we gorgeous
Pondering personal allure or beauty.
Is time just eating
Questioning whether time erodes the potential for positive actions.
The good things that you would've done
Reflecting on missed opportunities or the impact of time on positive deeds.
And are we frail and stupid
Contemplating human vulnerability and perceived insignificance.
Or not that important
Questioning the importance of human existence.
I like to think in the grand scheme we have won
Optimistically believing in overall success within the grand scheme of life.
What have we won
Prompting a question about the nature of the achieved success.
Just news to share with the one
Not specifying the content of the shared news but acknowledging its existence.
She told me she ain't gonna turn out like her mother
Quoting someone expressing a desire to avoid resembling their mother in certain aspects.
Everybody wants to be loved
Highlighting the universal desire for love.
She thinks the worlds a bit bigger then all of that
Attributing a broader perspective to someone, implying a worldly outlook.
I'm done with the future
Rejecting or being disillusioned with the concept of the future.
They don't like me, but they talk about me a lot
Expressing the paradox of being disliked yet frequently discussed by others.
You don't love me, but you like to think about me a lot
Acknowledging the absence of love but the persistence of thought about the speaker.
And its like
Repeating the reflective moment, questioning personal attractiveness and the impact of time.
Are we gorgeous
Reiterating the contemplation of personal allure or beauty.
Is time just eating
Repeating the question about time eroding potential positive actions.
The good things that you would've done
Revisiting the reflection on missed opportunities or the impact of time on positive deeds.
And are we frail and stupid
Reiterating contemplation of human vulnerability and perceived insignificance.
Or not that important
Repeating the question about the importance of human existence.
I like to think in the grand scheme we have won
Reaffirming an optimistic belief in overall success within the grand scheme of life.
What have we won
Repeating the question about the nature of the achieved success.
Just news to share with the one
Reiterating the presence of news to share with someone.
