Lyrics
Against the fence hanging with my Rose
Being near my significant other (Rose) who's uncertain about her identity.
Whatever they call her these days who knows
Her name or identity keeps changing, creating confusion.
Her butterflies were too much lepidoptery for me please
Her emotional intensity overwhelmed me, too much like dealing with butterflies (lepidoptery).
Now I work in a candy shop
I now work in a sweet shop.
The only thing I ever got was a cavity
The only result of this work was getting a cavity (possibly metaphorical).
So distracted
Distracted and unfocused.
Gettin' back on my own track did
Trying to find my own path again.
C.G.I.
Referring to Computer-Generated Imagery, perhaps indicating a shift in focus or interest.
Friday can go to hell
Expressing disdain for Fridays.
Je me souviens
French for "I remember," indicating nostalgia or reminiscing.
They say that I'm the one
Being accused of graffitiing trains.
Who's guilty for spray painting all those trains
She told me that love leaves marks (bites), possibly a reference to past experiences.
You told me love bites
Lightness or humor disappeared, perhaps due to a sudden change in mood or situation.
You said it on a cassette to me
Expressing dissatisfaction with New York City.
I'm all for your rights
People from California are relocating to Portland, Oregon, if they meet certain criteria.
But please don't ever hand them to me
A playful gesture, possibly referencing a physical act (gimme 5), or an unconventional expression.
So much levity my soda's gone and floated away
Feeling disoriented or unstable, possibly undergoing a surreal experience.
New York City
Reflecting on New York City negatively.
Totally sucks
Observation of the trend of Californians relocating.
Everybody from California's moving on up
Portland is a desirable location for certain individuals from California.
To Portland, Oregon if they're cool
Playfully referencing a physical gesture (gimme 5) or a peculiar situation.
Gimme 5 if you're on all fours
Feeling disoriented or unstable, possibly undergoing a surreal experience.
Falling through floors
Sensory overload leading to confusion or disorientation.
Contraindicated head
Feeling physically or mentally conflicted.
She shoots me up with Gatorade
Metaphorically being rejuvenated or revived by someone when faced with difficulty.
When the doctor says i'm dead
Metaphorically coming back to life after being declared 'dead.'
Happening all the time
A recurring or constant phenomenon.
Alien being
Feeling like an outsider or different from others.
I'm putting two feet down on the gas
Committing fully to a fast-paced action or decision.
Passing every box car is spray painted when they pass
Observation of the passing boxcars, all graffitied.
