Lyrics
Now the feeling starts at five
Feeling begins at 5, possibly referring to a specific time of day or an emotional state.
When I'm starting to achieve
Starting to achieve something significant.
And I take a little sip
Taking a sip, possibly of a drink, for healing purposes.
For a larger healing
Seeking a larger healing through the mentioned sip.
I was coming up for air
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed until pushed back into a situation by someone.
Til you pushed me back in
Not caring about consequences the night before and hurting others.
Last night I didn't care
Indifference or lack of concern for the well-being of others.
Anyone I was hurting
Expressing the theme of a circus, possibly chaotic or unpredictable events.
It's a circus
Reiteration of the circus theme, emphasizing chaos or unpredictability.
It's what you wished for
Acknowledgment that the chaos is a desired or wished-for state.
It's a calamity waiting just for you
Anticipating a calamity specifically waiting for the listener.
My eyes are burning sore and red
Physical and emotional exhaustion reflected in burning, sore, and red eyes.
Crying not to wind up dead
Expressing a desire not to end up dead despite challenges.
I've been hanging out for days
Spending a prolonged time in a difficult situation, likened to a broken high wire.
On this|broken high wire
Struggling to avoid stumbling or falling, metaphorically avoiding pitfalls in life.
Trying harder not to trip
Effort to resist temptations or desires.
Trying to fight the desire
Fighting against inner desires.
My eyes are burning sore and red
Reiteration of physical and emotional exhaustion.
Crying not to wind up dead
Repeating the desire not to end up dead.
Oh its such a certainty... aint it?
Certainty and inevitability of the challenging situation.
Was it a prophecy?
Questioning whether the challenging situation was predicted or foretold.
Are you not entertained?
Challenging the audience about their entertainment or satisfaction with the current state.
Do you not like what you see?
Questioning the audience's reaction to what is being presented.
Or is it just too fuckin real?
Suggesting that the presented scenario is uncomfortably real.
It's a circus
Reiteration of the circus theme, highlighting chaos and unpredictability.
It's what you wished for
Reminding that chaos was desired or wished for.
It's a calamity waiting just for you
Repeating the anticipation of a calamity specifically for the listener.
My eyes are burning sore and red
Repeating the physical and emotional toll reflected in burning, sore, and red eyes.
Crying not to wind up dead
Reiterating the desire not to end up dead despite challenges.
My highs are getting more or less
Highlighting the fluctuating highs and lows in life.
I should have stayed inside my head
Regretting not staying within the safety of one's thoughts or mind.
Oh its such a certainty... aint it?
Reiteration of the certainty and inevitability of the challenging situation.
Was it a prophecy?...
Pondering whether the challenging situation was foretold or predicted.
