Reflections of Isolation: A Tale of Lost Connections
Lyrics
Walking briskly passed the blue Corsa
Observing a blue Corsa while walking briskly.
I'm reminded of the one that my mother had when I was a child, I was a child, I was a child
Reflecting on a childhood memory of his mother's blue Corsa.
Dido on the CD player
Listening to music by Dido on a CD player.
Rain pouring down the windscreen
Experiencing rain on the car's windshield.
Headlights reflecting of the concrete, reflecting of the concrete, reflecting of the
Noticing headlights reflecting off the concrete.
I ascend the stairs and request a return ticket
Going upstairs and requesting a return ticket.
Although I'll likely miss the last train home, although I'll likely miss the last
Acknowledging the likelihood of missing the last train home.
Then attempt in vain to strike up a conversation
Trying unsuccessfully to start a conversation with the ticket window attendant.
with the man behind the window
Attempting to strike up a conversation with the man behind the window.
With the man behind the window
Repeating the attempt to engage the man behind the window.
He descends the stairs
The ticket window attendant descends the stairs.
And clambers into his little lovely blue car
The attendant gets into his blue car after the end of his shift.
How nice, it's the end of his shift
Expressing satisfaction at the end of the attendant's shift.
Now he's looking for a four pack of super strength lager
The attendant is now shopping for strong lager after work.
Liver, onion, chips dinner
Mention of a meal with liver, onion, and chips (dinner).
Delicious, delicious
Describing the meal as delicious.
Late night tele in a one bed flat
Watching late-night television in a one-bedroom flat.
No bonds with anyone
Feeling disconnected without bonds with anyone.
Had a few mates that you never text back
Having friends who are not responsive to text messages.
No bonds with anyone
Emphasizing the absence of bonds with anyone.
Met a nice girl, couldn't help but loose her
Recalling losing a nice girl and the lack of connections with others.
No bonds with anyone
Highlighting the theme of no emotional bonds with anyone.
Now on a barstool, alone in an old bloke's boozer
Sitting alone on a barstool in an old man's pub, still lacking connections.
No bonds with anyone
Reiterating the sense of isolation and lack of bonds with others.
