Gutter
Lost Memories: Guttered Nostalgia
Lyrics
Danke Schoen
Expressing gratitude ("Thank you" in German)
I wear my Doc's in shame
Feeling ashamed while wearing Doc Martens boots
As I walk down the street today
Walking down the street with a sense of shame
Danke Schoen
Reiterating gratitude ("Thank you" in German)
I named my donkey Shane
Naming a donkey "Shane"
And we used to ride him every day
Recalling riding the donkey daily in the past
She's in the gutter
Referring to a female subject being in a difficult situation
Far, far away
Describing the subject's location as distant
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in finding the female subject
She's far, far away
Reiterating the subject's distant location
She's in the gutter
Repeating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far away
Re-emphasizing the subject's faraway position
And I can't find her
Expressing frustration in searching for the female subject
She's far, far away
Reiterating the subject's considerable distance
And the year was 1776
Setting the scene in the year 1776, mentioning New York City
New York City
Providing a historical context
And I came up to you
Recalling an encounter with someone at a party
It was at a party
Describing the setting of the encounter
But that was all so long ago
Reflecting on the past, suggesting a distant memory
It was all so foggy
Describing the haziness of the past
But someday I'll see you again
Expressing hope for a future reunion
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far away
Emphasizing the considerable distance of the subject
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far, far away
Repeating the subject's considerable distance
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far away
Emphasizing the considerable distance of the subject
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far away
Stating the subject's faraway position
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far away
Emphasizing the considerable distance of the subject
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far, far away
Repeating the subject's considerable distance
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far away
Emphasizing the considerable distance of the subject
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far away
Stating the subject's faraway position
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far, far away
Emphasizing the subject's extreme distance
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far away
Stating the subject's faraway position
She's in the gutter
Reiterating the female subject's challenging situation
Far, far, far away
Emphasizing the subject's extreme distance
And I can't find her
Expressing difficulty in locating the female subject
She's far away
Stating the subject's faraway position
