89 Days of Alcatraz
Escape from Heartache: 89 Days of Alcatraz Unveiled
Lyrics
I want to burn the letters that I wrote you
Expresses a desire to destroy written correspondence with the recipient.
Over the phone today it felt like you were fading
During a phone call, sensing the other person's diminishing presence or interest.
Losing interest and ready to leave
Perceiving a decline in interest from the recipient, possibly signaling readiness to end the relationship.
Here I am thinking you were sent to save me
Reflecting on the belief that the recipient was meant to be a savior.
I've had eighty-nine days of Alcatraz
Metaphorically referring to a prolonged period of emotional confinement or feeling trapped, akin to the isolation experienced in Alcatraz.
Silly me thinking it was over
Realization that the situation was not as resolved as previously assumed.
Eighty-nine days of losing my mind
Enduring a significant period of mental distress.
Silly silly me, silly silly me
Self-reproach for being naive or foolish.
So I keep walking I keep walking singing sometimes
Continuing onward despite difficulties, occasionally finding solace in singing.
Feeling like a shit 'cause I know what's happening
Feeling remorseful due to understanding the unfolding events.
Investing like a rich girl
Acting with financial investment comparable to someone affluent.
Gambling like a Vegas idiot
Taking risks akin to a reckless gambler in Las Vegas.
Putting out 'cause I haven't much before
Offering oneself emotionally or physically due to a lack of prior experience.
I've had eighty-nine days of Alcatraz
Reiteration of enduring a prolonged emotional confinement.
Silly me thinking it was over
Realization that the previous assumption of resolution was premature.
Eighty-nine days of losing my mind
Continued distress for an extended period.
Silly silly me, silly silly me
Self-blame or regret for being naive or foolish reiterated.
You don't know who you got yourself into
Indicates the recipient's lack of awareness about the person they got involved with.
You don't know, you don't know at all
Emphasizing the recipient's lack of understanding or knowledge about the situation.
You don't know who you got yourself into
Repetition emphasizing the recipient's lack of awareness of the situation.
You don't know, you don't know
Further emphasizing the recipient's lack of knowledge or understanding.
You don't know, you don't know
Reiteration of the recipient's lack of knowledge or understanding.
