The Ad Above Your Head
Unveiling the Hidden Messages: Fly By Midnight's 'The Ad Above Your Head'
Lyrics
Why don’t you feel like a stranger
Expressing curiosity about the lack of familiarity or connection.
Such an unfamiliar face that I gave ya
Noting the unfamiliarity of the person's face in question.
Why deny my human nature
Questioning the denial of basic human instincts and emotions.
And act like I don’t care
Acknowledging a facade of indifference despite caring.
Lights are racing off your shoulder
Observing a sense of urgency or pressure.
Now I’m thinking things over & over
Reflecting on thoughts repeatedly.
Maybe I’m not meant to know ya
Considering the possibility of not being destined to know the person.
In all the clothes you’ll wear
Noting the superficial focus on the person's appearance.
You're so vague someone I’ll forget
Describing the person as elusive and easily forgotten.
Until then I think we could have been
Expressing a sense of missed opportunity or potential connection.
We could have been
Reiterating the idea of a potential connection that didn't materialize.
Two trains passing on the night line
Metaphorically describing a passing encounter between two individuals.
Your hair falling like a landslide
Depicting a visual image of the person's hair, possibly signifying chaos or change.
My Thoughts are hanging by a thread
Indicating a fragile state of mind, thoughts hanging by a thread.
All I remember is the ad above your head
Recalling only the advertisement seen above the person's head.
All I remember is the ad above your head now
Repeating the focus on the ad above the person's head.
All I remember
Emphasizing the limited memory of the encounter.
All that I remember now
Reiterating the limited recollection of the past.
All I remember is the ad above your head
Repeating the impact of the ad on memory.
Now I’m surfing through the pages
Shifting focus to navigating through memories and emotions.
Rearranging all the feelings I’m facing
Acknowledging the process of rearranging and confronting emotions.
Did you want a conversation
Questioning the desire for meaningful conversation.
It all seems so unfair
Expressing a perception of unfairness in the situation.
Is there someone you go home to
Pondering if the person has someone waiting at home.
I can’t recall if there’s a phone at your phone booth
Uncertain about the existence of a phone at the person's location.
Parallel are you alone too
Wondering if the person is also feeling lonely or parallel to the speaker.
Cause I could meet you there
Suggesting a potential meeting point to connect.
You're so vague someone I'll forget
Reiterating the elusive nature of the person.
Until then I think we could have been
Expressing a sense of missed connection again.
We could have been
Repeating the idea of a potential connection that didn't materialize.
Two trains passing on the night line
Metaphorically describing two individuals passing each other like trains in the night.
Your hair falling like a landslide
Continuing the visual description of the person's hair, possibly signifying change.
My Thoughts are hanging by a thread
Reiterating a fragile state of mind, thoughts hanging by a thread.
All I remember is the ad above your head
Recalling only the advertisement seen above the person's head.
All I remember is the ad above your head now
Repeating the focus on the ad above the person's head.
All I remember
Emphasizing the limited memory of the encounter.
All that I remember now
Reiterating the limited recollection of the past.
All I remember is the ad above your head
Repeating the impact of the ad on memory.
All I remember
Emphasizing the limited memory of the encounter.
All that I remember now
Reiterating the limited recollection of the past.
All I remember is the ad above your head now
Repeating the focus on the ad above the person's head.
