Hatfield 1980
Suburban Tales: Navigating Hatfield 1980's Midnight Maze
Lyrics
Suburbia, one a.m.
Reflecting on suburban life at 1 a.m.
You're walking home again
Returning home on foot
Shopping bags and broken glass
Carrying shopping bags amidst urban decay
I hate going through the underpass
Disliking the underpass due to past negative experiences
I wish there was some other way around
Wishing for an alternative route
But you got beaten up by the playground
Recalling a past incident of being attacked at the playground
And it's no use
Expressing frustration with the situation
You'll have to go through
Realizing there's no alternative; must face the underpass
Suburban shopping center
Describing the suburban shopping center
Pedestrian walkways
Noting pedestrian walkways intended to improve things
I think they were meant to make things better
Reflecting on the emptiness despite intended improvements
It's just emptier
Highlighting the desolation of the place
The scary nighttime
Referring to the frightening nighttime atmosphere
Hatfield, at that time
Specifically mentioning Hatfield in 1980
This is the place I live
Reiterating that the described place is the current residence
Where is everyone?
Questioning the absence of people
Are we the only ones?
Wondering if the speaker is the only one in the area
This is the place I live
Repeating the statement about the current place of residence
And so does everyone
Asserting that everyone lives in this place
And so does everyone
Emphasizing the universality of residence in this place
Hatfield nineteen eighty
Referring to the year 1980 in Hatfield
I'm seeing my first knife
Recalling the first experience with a knife
My first ambulance ride
Recalling the first ambulance ride
I hold your hand the whole way crying
Supporting someone emotionally during a difficult time
Get home the next day
Returning home the next day after the incident
Police have already been
Acknowledging the police presence in the aftermath
Well, you can imagine the scene
Leaving the scene to the imagination
And if I'm going home
Preparing to go home after a traumatic experience
I better change my clothes
Acknowledging the need for a change in appearance
I better change my clothes
Repeating the need to change clothes
This is the place I live
Reiterating the place of residence
Where is everyone?
Questioning the absence of people once again
Are we the only ones?
Expressing doubt about being the only ones in the place
This is the place I live
Repeating the statement about the current place of residence
And so does everyone
Asserting that everyone lives in this place
And so does everyone
Emphasizing the universality of residence in this place
When I'm looking back
Reflecting on the past while searching for others
I look for everyone
Continuing to search for everyone in the past
And when I fall down
Falling down metaphorically for everyone
I fall for everyone
Falling emotionally for everyone
