Lyrics
I was standing in line, just killing time
I was waiting in a line, casually passing time
looking at my phone in the sunshine
Engaged with my phone under the sunlight
Sweat bead dripping like an ice cream cone
Sweating, likened to a melting ice cream cone
then I realized...
Realization struck, questioning my existence
Was I even alive?
Contemplating if I truly feel alive
I coulda passed out cold on my walk from home
Suggesting a state of unawareness on my journey
I could be bleeding from my head on the side of the curb
Imagining extreme scenarios like bleeding on the street
Am I dreaming that I'm even waiting for a dessert?
Questioning the reality of waiting for a dessert
It was 9 to 5 I was just killing time
Routine 9-to-5, spending time aimlessly
Waiting on a ride downtown side
Awaiting transportation to downtown
Station glows in a brown light
Depicting a glowing station in a warm hue
Upright!
Expression of alertness or readiness
Based on the facts:
Transition to a factual observation
I'm pretty sure I'm standing up next to the tracks
Confirming physical presence near train tracks
I feel the vibrations moving up and down from my back
Sensations felt, possibly from a passing train
and then the knees go, edges blur
Physical effects, knees weakening, surroundings blurring
I'm swimming in a sinkhole
Metaphorical sinking into a challenging situation
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Humor diminishing, a shift in perspective
Maybe I lost that light, and it's a heavy way forward
Possibly losing a positive outlook, facing challenges
It was 10 to 5
Time progression to 10-to-5, not achieving success
Seventh inning wasn't winning
Failure in the seventh inning, a baseball analogy
pitcher pours from the spout and it goes outside
Pitcher pouring outside, a baseball scene
Paddy cakes on the slide
Reference to childhood game "paddy cakes"
panning to the middle wasn't much to decide
Undecided situation in the middle, uncertain choices
and I'm damned if I try (damn)
Frustration or resignation expressed (damn)
Standing in the river with a pan in my hand
Immersed in a challenging situation, holding a pan
I gotta black tie with a design
Formal attire with a design, possibly a metaphor
falling back down, falling on my back
Falling backward, metaphorical setback
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Humor diminishing further, a continued shift
Maybe I lost that light, and it's a heavy way forward
Possibly losing a metaphorical light, facing challenges
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Reiteration of the diminishing humor and perspective
Maybe I lost that fight, now I'm falling on the floor
Possibly losing a metaphorical fight, reaching a low point
