Lyrics
Some kind of pipe bomb
Referring to something disruptive or explosive, possibly a metaphor for a situation or feeling that's volatile.
You walk each direction all at once
Feeling pulled in multiple directions simultaneously, experiencing inner conflict or confusion.
From one, and three
Transitioning from different phases or states, possibly feeling fragmented or divided.
Do you still know me
Questioning whether recognition or familiarity still exists between individuals due to changes.
Cause by now you know I'm never doing my best
Expressing a lack of effort or inability to perform at one's best.
Cause I only want friends for drinking
Desire for companionship limited to specific times or circumstances (like drinking on Wednesdays).
On Wednesdays but not the weekend
Preference for socializing on specific days (Wednesdays) rather than weekends.
And I don't think it's growing up
Questioning the concept of maturity or growing up, possibly feeling like spiraling downward instead.
Just spiraling down, down, down
Feeling of descending or sinking into a negative state or situation.
It's good to see you got to London
Positive acknowledgment of someone reaching London, suggesting a sense of relief or achievement.
Like the time's not running out
Feeling that time isn't limited or running out, possibly a contrasting sentiment to previous anxieties.
Some kind of pipe bomb
Reiteration of a disruptive or explosive element in life or emotions.
You walk each direction all at once
Repeating the feeling of being pulled in different directions simultaneously.
Deep breath, big sigh
Taking a deep breath and sighing, implying acceptance or resignation.
It's no question that I'll survive
Confidence in survival despite challenges or difficulties.
But still the day's not done, so please just let me sleep in
Desire to rest or take a break before completing the day's tasks.
Cause I never did stop forgetting
Continued difficulty in remembering or retaining things from the past.
Check in on Christmas, forgot your wedding
Forgetting important events like checking in on Christmas and missing a wedding.
And it's not like I'm doing much
Expressing a lack of significant activity, possibly feeling stagnant or unproductive.
Just burrowing down, down, down
Feeling of digging deeper into a negative state or situation.
It's good to see you got to London
Reiteration of positive acknowledgment for reaching London, echoing relief or achievement.
Like the time's not running out
Similar sentiment to Line 11, feeling that time isn't limited or running out.
Some kind of pipe bomb
Repetition of a disruptive or explosive element in life or emotions.
You walk each direction all at once
Repeating the feeling of being pulled in different directions simultaneously.
And I'm so defeated, across the water
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained while being physically separated.
Slightly old, in a cloud of smoke
Feeling aged or worn out, surrounded by confusion or uncertainty.
But when you see me
Questioning whether others see a reflection of themselves when observing the speaker.
Is there some reflection of yourself
Hinting at changes in appearance or personality from the initial encounter.
And my face is not the one I brought along when we began
Not presenting the original self, indicating changes or adaptations over time.
Just slightly red
Physical appearance showing slight embarrassment or discomfort.
Covered in script I'd wake forever just to read again
Desire to revisit past memories or experiences endlessly.
It's good to see you got to London
Reiteration of positive acknowledgment for reaching London, similar to prior lines.
Like the time's not running out
Similar sentiment to Lines 11 and 22, feeling that time isn't limited or running out.
Some kind of pipe bomb
Reiteration of a disruptive or explosive element in life or emotions.
You walk each direction all at once
Repeating the feeling of being pulled in different directions simultaneously.
And I'm so defeated, across the water
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained while being physically separated.
Slightly old, in a cloud of smoke
Feeling aged or worn out, surrounded by confusion or uncertainty.
But when you see me
Questioning whether others see a reflection of themselves when observing the speaker.
Is there some reflection of yourself
Continuation of the previous questioning of self-reflection in others.
