Lyrics
Asian grain
Reference to Asian grain, setting the thematic tone.
Fallin from the ceiling like the pouring rain
Symbolic depiction of troubles or challenges, falling like rain.
All the time is slowly going down the drain
Sense of time slipping away or wasted.
I can feel it in my brain
Feeling the impact of the challenges in the mind.
And when I wake
A transition, possibly waking up to reality.
Everybody everywhere
Anticipation of support or celebration from others.
Will bring me cake
Imagery of receiving rewards or recognition.
And I'll be sitting pretty with your pretty face
Envisioning a positive outcome with a beautiful person.
But I don't even know your name
A sense of unfamiliarity or disconnection with the person.
And things always seems so sad
Observation that things often appear sad after waking up.
When I get that wake up call
Reference to a sobering realization or moment of clarity.
To think all the times we had
Reflection on past experiences that may not have been genuine.
Were never really had at all
Suggesting that past experiences were illusory or lacking substance.
Asian grain
Reiteration of the Asian grain theme.
Swirling around the room like a hurricane
Continued metaphorical representation of challenges.
It falls it rises it falls again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of challenges.
Faster than a speeding train
Emphasizing the speed and intensity of challenges.
Five four three
Numerical countdown, building tension or expectation.
If you want some grain
Expression of willingness to provide help or support.
Then just say please
A simple request for assistance.
We've got enough that we can feed the factories
Indication of abundance, potentially resources or solutions.
Over and over again
Repetition, suggesting a continuous cycle of challenges.
And things always seems so sad
Reiteration of the melancholy mood upon waking up.
When I get that wake up call
Recall of a sobering moment or realization.
To think all the times we had
Echoing the idea that past experiences may not have been genuine.
Were never really had at all
Reiteration that past experiences were lacking substance.
