Lyrics
Take your hands out of your pockets
Take action and be proactive; don't be passive.
Don't walk until green
Wait for the signal before proceeding; follow the rules.
Call it penance, call it shock
Consider it a form of punishment or a sudden realization.
You just lost your esteem
Your self-respect or reputation has been compromised.
You know it's ironic
There's an ironic twist to the situation.
If it went down today
If something significant happened today.
Phony faces just don't care
False or insincere expressions; lack of genuine concern.
But today they might have something to say
Today, even those with fake attitudes might have something to express.
I remember tomorrow as if it was yesterday
Nostalgia for the future; an unusual perspective on time.
And I say it in slugs
Expressing thoughts or emotions with impactful, blunt words.
I'm not convinced it's the only way
Doubtful about the effectiveness of this direct approach.
How tiny bits and pieces of words/works
Fragmented aspects of communication or creation.
Somehow end up in hugs
Surprisingly, even harsh expressions can lead to affectionate moments.
Some say it in slugs
Others also express themselves in a straightforward, harsh manner.
I killed my best friend with a hammer
A metaphorical act of betrayal or harm to a close friend.
Now I'm in stitches
Dealing with the consequences, possibly in a detached or indifferent way.
He became one of the icons around
The friend becomes a notable or symbolic figure.
I was left with an itch
Left with a lingering discomfort or regret.
I woke up on the wrong side of my bed
Starting the day with a negative mindset.
I'm just a little keen
Eager or enthusiastic, albeit in a small way.
I have to sleep there dead on that spot
A necessity to confront uncomfortable truths to have meaningful dreams.
Or else I won't be able to dream
Symbolic requirement for facing harsh realities to dream positively.
I remember tomorrow as if it was yesterday...
Reiteration of the unusual perspective on time.
Some say it in slugs
Expressing oneself using harsh and direct language.
