Lyrics

We went down to the May parade, mumbled words under my breath

Reflecting on attending the May parade, expressing thoughts quietly

There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you

Feeling a strong urge to share something important

I've been so damned tired

Expressing exhaustion or weariness


It went down at the May parade, bitter words under my breath

Recalling a negative experience at the May parade, muttering resentful words

There is something I've been dyin' to do, I was meaning to tell you

Intending to share something crucial, a desire to communicate

I've been so damned sad

Expressing deep sadness or emotional fatigue


Cause I spy something wrong

Observing a problem or issue

You don't know how far you've gone

Highlighting a lack of awareness about personal actions and consequences

Or recognize who you've become

Not recognizing the transformed or evolved self

How'd you grow to be so hard sick of playing my part

Questioning the development of a hardened, unyielding character, expressing frustration


We went down at the May parade, alcohol under my breath

Recalling another instance at the May parade, mentioning alcohol discreetly

There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you

Reiterating the desire to share something important

I've been so damned sad

Re-emphasizing deep sadness or emotional fatigue


Cause I spy something wrong

Reiterating the observation of a problem or issue

You don't know how far you've gone

Re-emphasizing the lack of awareness about personal actions and consequences

Or recognize who you've become

Reiterating the theme of not recognizing the transformed self

When'd you grow to be so hard sick of playing my part

Expressing frustration with the development of a hardened character, tired of playing a role
