Lyrics
Hooked apart in pieces
Feeling emotionally torn and fragmented
I’m hooked apart in pieces
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally torn and fragmented
Hooked apart in pieces
Continuing to express the emotional fragmentation
Looking for a reason why
Searching for a rationale or explanation for the situation
Ever autumn leaf falls down
Metaphorically referring to change and impermanence
To be
Existence or being present
Must be in the tree
Implies a necessary connection to a certain situation or state
So I climbed up their to see
Acting to gain perspective or insight
You said get back down and follow me
Encouragement or instruction to follow someone's lead
So you took me up the street
Being given responsibility or control
And handed my the keys
Assignment of a specific meeting time
You said meet back here at 3 am
Sense of suspicion or unease about the situation
I know something was wrong that day
An awareness of something being amiss
Part of me says
Internal conflict regarding possible actions
Either way I’ll drive away
Willingness to depart regardless of circumstances
(You wouldn’t do that)
Questioning the likelihood of a certain action
When I make it to the interstate
When reaching a point of departure
I could flee cause
Considering the possibility of fleeing
Either way I’ve left already
Acknowledging having already emotionally disconnected
(How could you do that)
Expressing disbelief or surprise at a potential action
Maybe when the sun is breaking out in day
Speculating about a specific time
Peace
State of calm or tranquility
I’ll call to say
Intention to communicate a departure
I’ve left you hangin
Leaving someone in a state of uncertainty or distress
Hooked apart in pieces
Reiteration of feeling emotionally torn and fragmented
I’m hooked apart in pieces
Continuing to express the feeling of being emotionally torn and fragmented
Hooked apart in pieces
Emphasizing the emotional fragmentation once more
Looking for a reason why
Revisiting the search for understanding or justification
Every summer scene sells out
Metaphorically referencing change or transformation
In spring
Reference to a season symbolizing renewal or new beginnings
Must be in the heat
Implies association with intense emotions or desires
Or the shiny things we see
Attraction to material possessions or superficial aspects
You said let your mind keep wandering
Encouragement to let thoughts wander freely
So we drove up to the peak
Heading toward a high point or climax
And stepped outside my jeep
Exiting a secure or familiar place
Said I hope you don’t just follow me
Expressing a hope for independent decision-making
I knew something was wrong right away
Immediate recognition of a problem or issue
Part of me says
Inner conflict regarding potential actions
Either way I’ll drive away
Willingness to depart despite uncertainties
(You wouldn’t do that)
Expressing doubt about someone's actions
When I make it to the interstate
When reaching a point of departure again
I could flee cause
Considering the possibility of escape once more
Either way I’ve left already
Acknowledging emotional disconnection once again
(How could you do that)
Expressing surprise or disbelief at a potential action repeated
Maybe when the sun is breaking out in day
Speculating about a particular time for communication
Peace
Desire for tranquility or resolution
I’ll call to say
Intending to communicate a departure once more
I’ve left you hangin
Leaving someone in suspense or uncertainty
