Hockey Tee
Escaping Routine: Embracing Chaos and Memories
Lyrics
Another early flight to London, beer for breakfast on the plane.
Embarking on another early flight to London, starting the day with beer on the plane.
Beer while we try to remember what the hell are we doing here.
Drinking beer while reflecting on the purpose of being in London and dealing with confusion.
Another shitty tasteless bite near to the tastes-like shit hotel.
Describing a negative dining experience near a poorly rated hotel.
Before we check-in we’re loaded, when we hit the tube we’re dead.
Arriving at the hotel already intoxicated; feeling exhausted when using public transportation.
I guess that we are not the only ones who try to run away,
Suggesting that the narrator is not alone in seeking escape from self-depression and the challenges of growing up.
From self depression, growing, act you age. We know we’re getting there.
Encouraging others to act their age and acknowledge the process of maturing, despite the difficulties.
I guess that we’re not so originals, we like drinks to hide we’re scared.
Admitting that the narrator is not unique in using drinks to mask fear or insecurity.
From self depression, growing, act you age. We know we’re getting there.
Reiterating the need to confront self-depression, grow, and act in accordance with one's age.
Those are our favourite tales to tell,
Expressing a preference for recounting specific memorable stories.
The moments we remember when we try not to be
Recalling moments that stand out when trying not to be overwhelmed by challenging times.
Overwhelmed by those times, we face a losing game.
Facing difficulties and describing it as a losing game but acknowledging the inevitability of growth.
We know that we are getting there.
Acknowledging the awareness of progressing and getting closer to maturity despite challenges.
Black cars drive us through the night to places nowhere to be found,
Being chauffeured in black cars to unknown destinations at night.
Seems like we always fail the dress code “hockey tee you’re not allowed”.
Experiencing recurring failures regarding a dress code, mentioning a "hockey tee" being disallowed.
I still count the days to get back there, still love the nights that last two days.
Counting down the days to return to a place and cherishing nights that seem to last longer.
Those sleepless nights still fell like home,
Stating that sleepless nights still feel like home, emphasizing the importance of these experiences.
home feel like nowhere when these days are gone.
Highlighting the transient nature of the feeling of home when these special days are over.
Those are our favourite tales to tell,
Repeating the idea of favoring certain memorable stories in life.
The moments we remember when we try not to be
Recalling memorable moments while actively trying not to be overwhelmed by challenging times.
Overwhelmed by those times, we face a losing game.
Reiterating the difficulty faced in a losing game but acknowledging the ongoing process of growth.
We know that we are getting there.
Reaffirming the awareness of progress and nearing maturity despite facing challenges.
Home feel like nowhere when they’re gone.
Emphasizing the feeling of nowhere being like home when the special days are gone.
