My Offwhite Flag
Retirement of Innocence: My Offwhite Flag's Tale of Surrender
Lyrics
I copped a feel
The speaker touched or interacted with something
Of the wall
Metaphorically, exploring or encountering a boundary or obstacle
Trying to find the light switch in the dark
Attempting to navigate a difficult or unknown situation
Then I got into bed and fell back asleep, quickly
Returning to a state of unawareness or unconsciousness swiftly
It's been awhile since I played the game
The speaker hasn't engaged in a particular activity for a long time
I've been retired since Saturday
Not actively participating since a specific time in the past
From the first base line I watched those blondes
Observing others from a distance, possibly admiring their actions
So perfectly flirting
Noticing someone's actions or behaviors that are charming or attractive
And I held my off-white flag between my knees
Symbolically surrendering or conceding in a situation
Limply
Doing so with little energy or enthusiasm
It's been awhile since I played the game
Continuing the theme of not being actively involved for a while
I've been retired since Saturday
Still not participating since that specific past time
I am a child
Expressing feelings of inadequacy or unpreparedness
And I'm not ready
Emphasizing the speaker's feeling of being unready or inexperienced
It's been awhile since I played the game
Reiterating the speaker's absence from the activity for a while
I've been retired since Saturday
Reaffirming the continued non-involvement since a specific past time
I am a child
Restating feelings of inadequacy or unpreparedness
And I'm not ready
Reemphasizing the speaker's sense of being unready or inexperienced
