Plastic Skies
Navigating Regret and Redemption Under Plastic Skies
Lyrics
Settle down
Encouraging someone to calm down or find stability.
And i'll tell you all the things you like to hear
Expressing willingness to say positive things to please the person.
But you're not around
Not physically present.
And it still feels like you're near
Despite physical absence, the emotional connection persists.
Hide your crown
Suggesting to conceal one's achievements or status.
Buried in the sand
Symbolic act of hiding something valuable or important.
Are you happy now
Questioning if the person is content now or if understanding is difficult.
Or is it hard to understand
Wondering about the comprehension of the current situation.
9 Times out of 10
Frequency of regretful statements made.
I say some things that I regret
Acknowledging verbal mistakes.
And it's printed on a page from last week's news
Regretful words are documented, possibly in the media.
Oh here we go again
Anticipating a recurring situation.
The nighttime train is pulling in
Imagery of a train arriving at night, signifying a new phase.
And it's obvious you're dry in pouring rain
Observing emotional dryness amid challenging circumstances.
Shout it out
Encouraging open expression.
Tell me all the things I like to hear
Requesting positive affirmations from the other person.
Spell it out
Asking for clear communication due to perceived change.
Cause you don't seem like you, dear
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of the person.
Hide your crown
Repetition of hiding, suggesting recurring concealment.
Covered in the sand
Reiterating the buried status, questioning the planning process.
Was there something flawed
Wondering if there was a flaw in the person's strategy or decision-making.
In the way you made your plan
Questioning the effectiveness of the person's plan.
9 Times out of 10
Recurrence of regretful statements, emphasizing frequency.
I say some things that I regret
Reiterating acknowledgment of verbal mistakes.
And it's printed on a page from last week's news
Repetition of regretful words documented in the media.
Oh here we go again
Anticipating a repeated cycle of challenging situations.
The nighttime train is pulling in
Imagery of a recurring train arrival in the night.
And it's obvious you're dry in pouring rain
Noticing emotional dryness persisting in difficult times.
Will you call my name
Asking if the person will acknowledge the speaker.
Under plastic skies
Reference to an artificial or superficial environment.
When you sail away
When the person departs, there will be consequences.
I will sell your crown
Symbolic action of selling the person's achievements or status.
Will you call my name
Repetition of asking if the person will acknowledge the speaker.
Under plastic skies
Reiteration of reference to an artificial or superficial environment.
When you sail away
Continuation of consequences when the person departs.
I will sell your crown
Reiteration of symbolic action of selling the person's achievements.
9 Times out of 10
Repetition of the frequency of regretful statements.
I say some things that I regret
Reiteration of acknowledging verbal mistakes.
And it's printed on a page from last week's news
Repetition of documented regretful words from the media.
Oh here we go again
Anticipating a recurring cycle of challenging situations again.
The nighttime train is pulling in
Reiteration of the nighttime train arrival in difficult times.
And it's obvious you're dry in pouring rain
Observing emotional dryness persisting in challenging circumstances.
9 Times out of 10
Repetition of the frequency of regretful statements for emphasis.
I say some things that I regret
Reiteration of acknowledging verbal mistakes for emphasis.
And it's printed on a page from last week's news
Repetition of documented regretful words from the media for emphasis.
