The Following Day
Echoes of Lost Nights: Greta and The Goldfish's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
I can't wait for the night
I eagerly anticipate the night
When I lose myself at the bottom of a bottle of wine
Expressing a tendency to lose oneself through consuming a bottle of wine
And I don't know why i feel the need to glorify
Questioning the reason for glorifying destructive behaviors
The destruction of my liver
Acknowledging the harm to the liver caused by destructive habits
The destruction of my life
Reflecting on the broader impact of destructive choices on life
And I'm up 'til five in the morning writing
Engaging in late-night writing, possibly as an outlet for emotions
Bad poetry, and wishing for another better life
Creating bad poetry and yearning for a better life
Where you can stay with me and
Desiring a life where someone can stay without being taken away prematurely
Not be pulled away from me far too soon
Expressing a sense of loss and longing
Oooh
Emotional interjection
I'm like a dead dog the following day
Comparing oneself to a lifeless entity the day after
Make me better than this
Pleading to be improved beyond the current state
Make me better than this
Reiterating the desire for personal improvement
I am a cardboard person
Describing oneself as emotionally superficial
Comprised of false emotion
Acknowledging a facade of false feelings
And photos of my parents taken back in '83
Depicting a cardboard-like existence with nostalgic images of parents
'Cause they were cooler than i'll ever be
Admiring the perceived coolness of parents from the past
What happened in the end?
Pondering the outcome of past experiences
I have visions of those smoky basement nights
Recalling memories of nights with a specific ambiance
With Bowie playing on vinyl in the background
Evoking a sense of coolness through a Bowie vinyl soundtrack
'Cause we're too cool for CDs
Rejecting mainstream technology in favor of vinyl
Or whatever new technology we'll have in 2022
Referencing a future year and technology, emphasizing non-conformity
Oooh
Emotional interjection
I'm like a dead dog the following day
Reiterating a feeling of lifelessness the day after
Make me better than this
Pleading for personal improvement
Make me better than this
Reiterating the desire for personal enhancement
