Lyrics
(Do do da, do do da
Expressive vocalization, no specific meaning.
Do do da, do do)
Continuation of expressive vocalization.
My thoughts are slowly coming out loud
The speaker's inner thoughts are becoming audible or evident.
I flinch each time I hear them out loud
The speaker reacts with discomfort when hearing their thoughts spoken aloud.
Guess I know what its like now
The speaker empathizes with someone else who has experienced a similar situation.
To be honest
Expressing a commitment to honesty.
To see what I'm hiding in the closet
There is something concealed in the speaker's metaphorical closet.
Do I still look the same to you now
Questioning if external perceptions of the speaker have changed.
Am I still clean enough?
Asking if the speaker is still morally upright or untainted.
(Do do da, do do da)
Repetition of expressive vocalization.
Breathe slowly, sink in
Encouraging a calm and deliberate breathing process.
Considerate eyes
Describing the eyes of someone considerate.
Deep sleep while I
The speaker experiences deep sleep while engaging in a certain behavior.
Tip the bottle back
Drinking from a bottle while reflecting on experiences.
Guess we've seen what it's like now
Understanding the challenges of being in a romantic relationship.
To be lovers
Acknowledging the dynamics of being lovers.
Scream that we're nothing
Expressing a dependence on each other for identity.
Without each other
Asserting that they are incomplete without each other.
Can I lay back and close my eyes
Contemplating whether closing one's eyes can create a desired illusion.
And pretend you're mine
Desiring to pretend that someone belongs to the speaker.
(Do do da, do do da)
Repetition of expressive vocalization.
Have we made a fool of us
Questioning if the speaker's actions have led to negative consequences.
Have we taken all the good away
Reflecting on whether positive elements have been diminished by the speaker's actions.
If I'm not supposed to be alone
Expressing a plea for companionship to avoid solitude.
Then I'm begging you to stay
Begging someone to stay and not leave the speaker alone.
Here
Indicating a location or an emotional state.
I saw your face
The speaker observes someone's face in a reflective surface.
In the mirror last night
Recalling an image from the past, possibly connected to emotional distress.
That stained your clothes
Describing a stain on clothes, possibly symbolizing emotional damage.
Back Sunday it eyes
Referencing a specific time associated with eyes, possibly a significant event.
Guess you've heard what I'm like now
Acknowledging a change in the speaker's character or behavior.
Just a body
Reducing oneself to a physical presence without deeper meaning.
You're haunting our bedroom
The memory of someone lingers in intimate spaces.
And the hallway
The lingering presence extends beyond the bedroom into shared spaces.
And I still hear your voice in my head
The speaker still hears the voice of the departed person, uttering negative sentiments.
Saying awful things
The departed person spoke hurtful words that continue to affect the speaker.
