Lyrics
I'm not quite in the clear
I haven't completely resolved my situation or problems.
A bite or two is fine by me
I am okay with experiencing a small amount of difficulty or hardship.
It's nice of you to still be here
Thank you for being supportive or present despite the circumstances.
Even though I never saved you a seat
Even though I didn't save a place for you, I appreciate your presence.
Your consolations a fasade
Your comforting words are deceptive or insincere.
Grayed out, grade A gavage
Describing a process of force-feeding for fattening, metaphorically suggesting manipulation or control.
I made my mind up
I've made a decision.
But you can't tell me I'm out of luck
Don't dismiss my decision as bad luck.
I made my mind up now
I have finalized my decision.
Breathing in the air that I can breathe
Breathing in the available space or freedom.
Just another blister on my feet
Referring to enduring difficulties as metaphorical blisters on the feet.
Seeing all the people I can see
Observing and interacting with people around me.
I'm not another mouth for you to feed
Asserting independence, not relying on others for sustenance.
My throats been dry for days
Experiencing prolonged thirst.
And my eyes are welling up
Crying or becoming emotional.
Of course you didn't stay
It's expected that you didn't stay after making me feel trapped.
After making me feel so stuck
Feeling stuck due to someone else's actions.
Your consolations a fasade
Reiteration that comforting words are deceptive or insincere.
Grayed out, grade a gavage
Repeating the metaphor of manipulated force-feeding.
I made my mind up
Confirming the decision made earlier.
I made my mind up
(No specific lyrics on this line)
I made my mind up now
Reiterating the finality of the decision.
Breathing in the air that I can breathe
Breathing in the available space or freedom (repeated).
Just another blister on my feet
Metaphorically referring to enduring difficulties (repeated).
Seeing all the people I can see
Observing and interacting with people around me (repeated).
I'm not another mouth for you to feed
Reiterating independence, not relying on others for sustenance (repeated).
