Choke Chain of Memories: Unveiling Elliott Smith's Emotional Joyride
Lyrics
You got a choke chain
You have a restrictive influence over you, symbolized by a choke chain.
Made out of night train
This restraint is associated with a strong alcoholic drink, possibly reflecting a numbing effect.
To keep your memory down
To suppress or control your recollections or memories.
In quicksand from the main man
Caught in a difficult situation represented by quicksand, likely influenced by a prominent figure.
To gel everything out
To solidify or set in place all emotions or aspects of life.
Always out on a joyride
Consistently engaging in reckless behavior or pursuits for pleasure.
Lay it out from insides
Expose everything from within oneself.
Always at a dead stall
Always stuck or stagnant, possibly in life or relationships.
From sticking pins into miniature men
Harming small, insignificant individuals metaphorically, who are unaffected by it.
Who can't feel it at all
Highlighting the lack of empathy or understanding towards those who can't feel the pain inflicted.
See you later
An indication of separation or departure.
See you later
Reiteration of the farewell theme.
If I see you at all
If I encounter you at all.
See you later
Another expression of departure or separation.
See you later
Repetition of the farewell sentiment.
See you later
Continuation of expressing farewell.
If I see you at all
If I happen to encounter you.
See you later
Once again, indicating a future parting.
Walk through thick mud
Struggling through difficulties, seeking something new and vibrant.
Looking for new blood
In search of fresh experiences or influences.
Thinking I heard your name
Believing to have heard a familiar name, possibly causing distress.
Cruel imagination is still giving me pain
An imaginative and painful experience, possibly related to deception or betrayal.
Just to find you with the
Discovering the person with the manipulative influence.
Masterminder
The one orchestrating and controlling a situation or relationship.
Of one of your little affairs
A person involved in one of your romantic affairs.
Saying how he loves you now
Sharing affectionate feelings, possibly insincerely.
Let me show you how much I care
Expressing a willingness to demonstrate genuine care and concern.
See you later
Repetition of the farewell message.
See you later
Continued emphasis on parting.
If I see you at all
If our paths cross at all.
See you later
Once more, expressing the idea of seeing each other later.
See you later
Repeating the sentiment of parting.
If I see you at all
If our encounters happen at all.
See you later
Final repetition of the farewell message.
See you later
Reiteration of parting.
If I see you at all
If our paths cross at all.
See you later
Concluding with another expression of seeing each other later.
