Lyrics
Down on your luck
Experiencing misfortune or difficulty
These days are numbered one by one
Time is passing gradually and inevitably
Feeding the masses with their pacifying thumb
Controlling or influencing people with comforting or soothing methods
Too important to listen
Too significant or self-important to heed advice or input
They've got us pinned against the wall and so we say
Feeling trapped or constrained by external forces
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Addressing someone as unique, but acknowledging a common fate
Well that's just how it goes
Describing an inevitable situation
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
Sense of familiarity in a situation universally recognized
Crooked minds and timeless binds have rotted out the core
Corruption and unchanging problems damaging the core essence
Subconscious leading to precarious trap doors
Unconscious thoughts leading to dangerous situations
Two times they glisten (?)
Shiny or attractive twice, possibly referencing deceit
They've got us poised to take the fall and so we say
Being positioned to take blame or responsibility
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Reiterating the uniqueness of someone, yet facing common experiences
Well that's just how it goes
Acceptance of an inevitable circumstance
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
Familiar feeling shared by everyone
Climbing rooftops and the suits you're living in can't save your skin
Attempting escape but unable to evade consequences
So I sing this song to you
Expressing thoughts through a song
(You're my one and only)
Expressing affection or singularity towards someone
You're one-in-a-million, baby
Reiterating uniqueness in a common situation
Well that's just how it goes
Acceptance of the unchangeable
I've got a familiar feeling that everybody knows
Shared recognition of a familiar feeling
You're one of a million dead-beats washed up on the shore
Being part of a large group of failures washed ashore
At the cap of a new wave that'll be crashing at your door(?)
Anticipation of impending consequences or troubles
