Kindergarten
Reflections of Growth: A Journey from Kindergarten to Kingdom
Lyrics
Return to my own vomit like a dog
Returning to past mistakes or habits, likening oneself to a dog.
Rhymes and giggles muffle the dialogue
Noise and laughter drown out meaningful conversation.
Carve my initials in a tree, I will never leave
Leaving a lasting mark but committing to never depart.
Maybe one day I'll be royalty
Expressing a desire for a higher status or position, perhaps metaphorically.
Kingdom
Repetition of "Kingdom" signifies a recurring theme or setting.
Kindergarten
Emphasis on a childlike or immature environment, possibly metaphorical.
Born late
Being born later than expected, hinting at a sense of delay or lag.
Will I graduate?
Questioning the possibility of completing an educational milestone.
Drinking fountains are shorter than they used to
Observing changes in everyday things, symbolizing personal growth.
The swings on the playground don't even fit me anymore
The physical outgrowing of childhood activities or spaces.
Folklore nobody's supposed to believe in the next grade
Mention of folklore challenges conventional beliefs in the next stage.
Write it a hundred times
Repetition emphasizes the importance of a lesson or idea.
Kingdom
Reiteration of "Kingdom" continues the theme of repetition and familiarity.
Kindergarten
Revisiting the concept of a childlike or early stage in life.
Waiting
Waiting, anticipating, possibly for something significant.
Bell's not ringing
An absence of expected signals or indications.
Held back again
Experiencing a setback, not progressing as expected.
Everything got quiet suddenly no Dolby
A sudden quietness, absence of advanced sound technology.
And the theater is empty
Emptiness in a significant place, possibly metaphorical.
Film is flapping on the side of the projector
Technical issues disrupting the narrative, symbolic of challenges.
The reel is over
Completion of a phase, possibly with a sense of finality.
Banished with my sticky shoes and stinging eyes
Being excluded with discomfort and tears.
I'm walking outside
Transitioning to the outside world, leaving a confined space.
Kingdom
Reiteration of "Kingdom," possibly indicating a cyclic pattern.
Kindergarten
Revisiting the childlike or early stage, echoing a familiar theme.
Born late
Reiteration of being born late, highlighting a sense of delay.
Will I graduate?
Questioning the likelihood of completing the educational journey.
Held back again
Experiencing a setback again, possibly reflecting on repeated challenges.
