Lyrics
As I walk on the face,
Reflecting on my journey through life.
impressed by the way I didn’t fold,
Feeling proud of my resilience and not giving up.
I’m messed by the vain idea
Disturbed by the false notion or self-deception.
that if time holds no weight
Contemplating the idea that time may not have significance.
in the car from the rain,
While driving away from problems in the rain.
I won’t cut the brakes.
Expressing a determination not to take drastic actions (like cutting brakes) despite challenges.
As I talk at the space,
Engaging with an empty or void space.
left by the days
Referring to the passing of time.
I’d slowly erased
Describing the process of forgetting or removing painful memories.
(I’d burned down the pain museum),
Recalling destroying the "pain museum," symbolizing overcoming past traumas.
oh you won’t corner me,
Asserting independence and avoiding being cornered or controlled.
I’ve come for the faint hope
Pursuing a faint hope or a small possibility.
you’ll concede,
Expecting acknowledgment or acceptance from someone else.
step on my face now.
Expressing readiness to endure challenges, even if it means being stepped on.
It’s hard to be around her,
Acknowledging difficulties in being around a particular person.
I bet it’s hard to be down lots,
Suggesting challenges in coping with various situations.
but it’s hard when our love
Highlighting the struggles in a relationship that doesn't amount to much.
hardly amounts to much.
Emphasizing the insignificance of the mentioned love.
(holding me down, lo...)
(The lyrics break off, and the meaning is incomplete or open to interpretation.)
As I cross off the dates
Marking the passage of time and starting anew.
reset by the pace you’d dissolved
Reinforcing the idea of time passing and memories fading.
I’m met by the souvenirs
Encountering memories believed to be lost or forgotten.
that I thought I’d misplaced,
These memories are linked to the person addressed.
they’re addressed in your name,
Even though addressed to the person, they remain unshared or unacknowledged.
but alone
When alone, these memories seem pointless or unfulfilling.
they’re a waste.
Conveying a sense of wasted potential or unfulfilled significance.
