Lyrics
So I wrote it all in a letter
Expressing the act of writing everything down in a letter.
But I don't know if it came
Uncertainty about whether the letter was received or not.
The nurse she likes my writing
The nurse appreciates the writer's style of writing.
So she keeps it just like me
The nurse preserves the letter like the writer does, so it won't be lost.
So that it won't get away
The nurse ensures the letter's safety to prevent it from getting lost.
I won't be denied this time
Determination not to be denied something this time.
'fore I go out of my mind over matters
The writer is concerned and stressed about important issues.
Got my foot on the ladder
Starting the ascent towards a goal or ambition.
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Metaphorical reference to striving for an unreachable or improbable goal (the moon).
Got a sky that looks like heaven
Contrasting the beauty of the sky with the unpleasantness of the Earth.
Got an earth that looks like shit
A negative portrayal of the current state of the world.
And it's getting hard to tell where
Difficulty distinguishing between the writer's true self and external influences.
What I am ends
Ambiguity regarding where the writer's identity ends and external influences begin.
And what they're making me begins
Feeling shaped or influenced by external forces.
I won't be denied this time
Similar to line 7, determination not to be denied something.
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Stress and worry about significant issues.
Got my foot on the ladder
Beginning or continuing the journey towards a goal or ambition.
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Striving towards an improbable or unreachable goal (the moon).
Saturday in the yard
Reference to a specific day of the week (Saturday).
They'll bring you by
Anticipation of someone being brought to a particular location.
We'll lay down on the grass
Planning to relax together outdoors, lying on the grass.
And watch as the sky closes in
Observing the sky seeming to shrink or lose its vastness.
I won't be denied this time
Determined not to be refused something this time.
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Stress and concern about important matters.
Got my foot on the ladder
Continuing to strive towards a goal or ambition.
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Expressing determination to achieve something seemingly unattainable (the moon).
