Lyrics

you amidst your machines gone

You, surrounded by your machines, are absent.

mad and dreamy

You're both crazy and dreamy.

a jar of roses

A jar of roses, perhaps a symbol of fragility or beauty.

old anemic

Old and weak.

from bright to brown

Transitioning from brightness to a darker state.

burners on to keep the plants warm

Burners are on, maintaining warmth for plants.

to keep the air good

Maintaining a good atmosphere.

to atmospherically calm you down

Creating a calming atmosphere around you.

cords cross the room to ring half

Cords crisscross the room, half-ringing, hesitant to disturb you.

unwilling to pull you from your place

Reluctant to pull you away from your current state.

a voice to shake you from your gaze

A voice trying to break your focus.

refocus you on the hot

Redirecting your attention to something intense.

growing cold

Transition from warmth to coldness.

hello to hang up

Greeting to hang up, suggesting detachment.

hands pale

Pale hands.

mouth improved from

Mouth improved from being glued to movement, possibly referencing speech.

glued to movement

Observing you absorbed in activity.

you smile a bit before falling back into the room

You briefly smile before returning to the room.

i watch you like you're art

I observe you as if you're a piece of art.

like you are

Seeing you as something meaningful.

leaning like you are

You lean in a way that suggests significance.

to mean something

You attract attention, stopping traffic metaphorically.

you stop traffic

Your existence disrupts normalcy.

you're the source

You are the origin, and I am addicted.

i'm the addict

A dynamic of dependence is established.

surrounded by all your old instruments and fashion books

Surrounded by your old instruments and fashion books.

three years will keep you angry

Three years fuel your persistent anger.

angry angry

Intensely angry.

plenty angry and enthused

You are angry and enthusiastic.

right into a state of static

Transitioning into a static state.

moods quite ecliptic

Moods are highly changeable.

panicked into

Panic leads to a beautiful balance.

some sort of beautiful median

Functioning within a harmonious median.

bleeding comedian

A comedian bleeding, suggesting pain within humor.

emerging from gun smoke

Emerging from a situation surrounded by conflict.

i am aways wrong when

I am consistently wrong when assigning stories.

assigning stories

Difficulty in interpreting narratives.

but oh your

Your face fits well into the narrative.

face fits so well

I am consistently off, and your face complements the narrative.

i am always off and

Always deviating and bleeding a flawed theory.

bleeding shoddy theory

A flawed theory that I continually bleed.

the dig is grave

The criticism is serious.

the grave i dig: the dialogue.

The criticism I offer is like digging a grave, initiating a dialogue.
