Boxing Day
Unveiling Silent Turmoil: "Boxing Day" by Good Riddance
Lyrics
When one browbeating lasts a lifetime
Enduring persistent criticism or intimidation for a lifetime.
I can't recall the last time
Unable to remember the last occurrence of something.
Quiet conversation served
Communication in a calm and subdued manner.
What's left to solve by mute indifference?
Questioning the point of resolving issues through silent indifference.
Still we carry on this way
Continuing in this manner despite it being prescribed and unemotional.
Prescribed and uninvolved
Following a predetermined path without active involvement.
This holds no ordinary pretext
Referring to an unusual or extraordinary situation.
This isn't one more thing we can endeavor to deny
Acknowledging that this is not another thing one can ignore or deny.
Fighting back tears won't stop the bleeding
Expressing that crying won't prevent emotional pain.
Left to bite each others heads off
People turning on each other with hostility.
We forget to even try
Forgetting to make an effort to resolve issues.
Seems its never time
Indicating that the right time for something never seems to come.
It's never time
Repeating the idea that the right time never arrives.
Seems its never time
Emphasizing the perpetual feeling of not having the right time.
It's never time
Reiterating the idea that the right time is elusive.
Your face disturbs my sleep
Expressing that someone's presence disrupts peaceful sleep.
You interrupt my savage dreams
Interference in intense and wild dreams.
I'd trade this vision
Wishing to exchange a troubling vision for another chance at a relationship.
For just one more shot at you
Desiring another opportunity with the person mentioned.
Just beyond the setting sun
Referring to a time just after sunset.
I can see the cities skyline receding
Observing the city skyline fading in the distance.
And these old lines
Referring to recurring patterns or memories.
And these old lines keep repeating
Highlighting the repetition of old experiences or thoughts.
Yeah.
Confirmation of the repetition mentioned in the previous line.
