Coffin of Regrets: Eamon Hill's Raw Reflections on Unattainable Desires
Lyrics
Guess were running out of time now
Expressing a sense of urgency, feeling time is running out.
Please don't say a thing cuz you ain't even mine now
Asking someone not to speak, possibly due to a complicated relationship status.
Lights out
Referring to a situation where the lights are out, possibly symbolizing darkness or ignorance.
Cuz there's something you should find out
Implying there is something important that the other person needs to discover.
Cuz
A transitional line, setting the stage for the upcoming statements.
I know you want something that I cannot give you
Acknowledging the inability to fulfill someone's desires.
I know that you want it now
Recognizing the other person's immediate wants.
But when you tell me that it is all consequential
Accepting that the consequences are significant when the other person expresses their desires.
I know that we cannot work this out
Acknowledging that the relationship cannot be resolved or continued.
So Ima spend my night out looking for rebounds
Indicating the speaker's intention to seek new romantic connections.
You gon sit in side know you thinking of me now
Suggesting the other person is left alone, contemplating the speaker.
And I know I could stay but I don't like the option
Expressing a dislike for the available options to stay in the current situation.
Cuz on more day gon put but in a coffin
Foretelling a potential end, possibly dramatic or final.
Cuz
A transitional line, connecting the past and present emotions.
I know you want something that I cannot give you
Reiterating the unattainability of the other person's desires.
I know that you want it now
Acknowledging the immediacy of the other person's wants.
So that's what you want to call it
Labeling the situation as the other person desires it to be.
You may be in college but you're still an alcoholic
Pointing out a potential issue with the other person's behavior (alcoholism).
Ya (ya)
An affirmation, possibly of the other person's behavior being problematic.
And it's cool you're just stalling
Acknowledging the delay or hesitation on the other person's part.
But baby I can't be the one to solve all of your problems
Stating the inability to solve all of the other person's problems.
And I wish I could go back then to the day we met
Expressing a desire to go back in time to avoid a particular encounter.
Avoid the girl with a bad mood and a cigarette
Describing a negative quality of a past partner.
We were making out in the bathroom
Recounting a past intimate moment.
Your mind was set
Highlighting the determination or mindset of the other person during the mentioned moment.
Guess I'm the bad tattoo you won't forget
Comparing oneself to a permanent, regrettable mark on the other person.
Cuz when it all comes down to it (yeah)
Asserting a judgment about the other person's character.
I know that you're full of shit
Expressing skepticism or disbelief regarding the other person's sincerity.
And you're just gonna have to come to grips
Suggesting the other person needs to accept a harsh reality.
Cuz
Reiterating the unattainability of the other person's desires.
I know you want something that I cannot give you
Recognizing the immediate wants of the other person.
I know that you want it now
Acknowledging the immediacy of the other person's wants.
But when you tell me that it is all consequential
Accepting that the consequences are significant when the other person expresses their desires.
I know that we cannot work this out
Acknowledging that the relationship cannot be resolved or continued.
So Ima spend my night out looking for rebounds
Indicating the speaker's intention to seek new romantic connections.
You gon sit in side know you thinking of me now
Suggesting the other person is left alone, contemplating the speaker.
And I know I could stay but I don't like the option
Expressing a dislike for the available options to stay in the current situation.
Cuz on more day gon put but in a coffin cuz
Foretelling a potential end, possibly dramatic or final.
I know you want something that I cannot give you
Reiterating the unattainability of the other person's desires.
I know that you want it now
Acknowledging the immediacy of the other person's wants.
