Lyrics

Woke up early, when our room grew cold

Waking up early in a cold room, symbolizing a change or awakening.

Found the answer, time was moving slow

Discovering an answer while time seems to pass slowly.

Oh with all the windows closed

Closed windows possibly indicating isolation or shutting out external influences.

Always coasting, been on cruise control

Consistently cruising through life without actively engaging or making decisions.

Flipping quarters, never sure when to go

Uncertainty and hesitance, unsure about the timing of decisions.

Oh afraid of what I know

Fear of the known, suggesting hesitation to confront certain truths.

Cos the lights just won’t stay on

The metaphorical darkness or uncertainty preventing clarity.


I know where you’re at, nowhere left to run

Acknowledging someone's current situation with nowhere to escape.

Wasted all our youth, scared of being young

Regretting the misuse of youth due to fear of embracing it.

It’s like dreaming, backwards

Describing a backward or distorted quality in the act of dreaming.

Like dreaming, backwards

Reiterating the theme of dreaming in a backward or counterproductive manner.


Looking for the rain, when the sun is out

Seeking negativity (rain) when positivity (sun) is present.

Missing yesterday, instead of living now

Living in the past instead of embracing the present.

It’s like dreaming, backwards

Re-emphasizing the backward nature of the dreaming experience.

Like dreaming, backwards

Continuing to highlight the counterproductive nature of dreaming.


Sleeping later with the sun so far

Sleeping late with the sun far away, suggesting a sense of distance or disconnection.

Drifting further, tryn get back to the start

Struggling to return to the beginning, possibly a desire for a fresh start.

Oh before I fall apart

Fearing a personal breakdown or crisis.

Lost a decade riding in a car

Losing a significant amount of time, possibly due to aimless pursuits.

Turning yellow, stare between the bars

Observing a deterioration represented by turning yellow and staring between bars.

Oh reaching into the dark

Reaching into the unknown or facing uncertainty in the dark.


Always chasin, never make it

Continuously pursuing goals but struggling to attain them.

No tomorrow, tryna fake it

A sense of urgency, attempting to deceive others about the future.

Waiting, waiting, troubles all around me now

Waiting for resolution while surrounded by difficulties.
