Lyrics
You: back on the town
You are back in town.
Skulking around
Skulking around, behaving stealthily or suspiciously.
Looking for something that you lost
Searching for something lost.
What was the price?
Questioning the cost or sacrifice made.
And who paid the cost?
Wondering who paid the price.
And I'm watching
Observing the situation.
You: hard shiny and cold
You are hard, shiny, and cold.
And me: feeling so old
Feeling personally old.
Cause I have waited so long
Expressing impatience after a long wait.
Waited so long
Emphasizing the prolonged waiting for something.
Waited for nothing.
Realizing the wait was in vain.
And I, I am the rain
Speaker identifies as the rain, suggesting a cleansing or transformative force.
You: back on the case
You are back on a case or task.
Checking your face
Examining your own face for signs of aging.
Looking for evidence of time
Searching for evidence of the passage of time.
Where has it gone?
Questioning where time has gone.
Our lines have been drawn
Recognizing the establishment of boundaries or separation.
And we follow
Following a predetermined path.
You: antiseptically clean
You are antiseptically clean, emphasizing cleanliness or sterility.
And me: like a broken machine
Speaker feels like a broken machine, indicating a sense of malfunction or distress.
And I have been broken so long
Expressing a prolonged state of being broken.
Broken so long
Continuation of the theme of being broken for an extended period.
Broken and hollow
Describing a state of emptiness or lack of substance.
And I, I am the rain
Reiteration that the speaker is the rain, suggesting a transformative or healing presence.
You: antiseptically clean
Repeated reference to being antiseptically clean.
And me: like a broken machine
Reiteration of feeling like a broken machine.
And I have been broken so long
Restating the prolonged experience of being broken.
Broken and hollow
Emphasizing the long-lasting state of brokenness and emptiness.
And I, I am the rain
Final affirmation that the speaker is the rain, reinforcing a transformative or cleansing role.
