Excedrin Echoes: Unraveling Resentment in the Rain
Lyrics
Well your out of sight and I'm out of mind
Expressing distance and separation; feeling forgotten or neglected.
Am I the only one coming home tonight?
Questioning if the singer is the only one returning home that night.
Well maybe you're wrong
Suggesting a possibility of the listener being mistaken.
You're probably right
Contrasting perspectives, acknowledging the listener's potential correctness.
Ill have plenty time to think on the half hour drive
Reflecting on thoughts during a half-hour drive.
And hey main isn't it a drag?
Using sarcasm to comment on life's challenges.
Say that about everything
Highlighting a negative outlook on everything.
You're always bringing me down
Accusing the listener of consistently bringing the singer down.
When I'm already in the rain
Expressing emotional burden during difficult times.
And all the fuck ups and missteps
Acknowledging mistakes and wrong decisions.
Just linger like incense
Comparing lingering mistakes to the persistent scent of incense.
Man I think I shoulda seen how this would end
Regretting not foreseeing the outcome of a situation.
Well now it's best to just cut ties
Suggesting the best course of action is to sever connections.
Resent all the good times
Feeling resentment towards past good times.
Man I wish I knew you hated all my friends
Discovering dislike for the singer's friends.
You're the opening band, you're still goin on last
Metaphorically portraying the listener as the opening act still performing last.
Run through every light, you won't escape your past
Emphasizing the inescapability of one's past mistakes.
You'll be in every crowd, in ever passing hall
Highlighting the pervasive nature of the listener in the singer's life.
In every face I see, still making me feel small
Continuing impact of the listener on the singer's self-esteem.
Can't believe I ever comforted you
Expressing disbelief in providing comfort to the listener.
Told you everything would be ok
Recalling assurances that everything would be okay.
Kept faith in all the faces you wore
Maintaining trust in the listener despite various personas.
I dug up all the hatchets you buried
Digging up past grievances or conflicts.
Can't believe I ever comforted you
Reiterating disbelief in offering comfort.
Did you lie right to my face?
Questioning if the listener lied directly to the singer.
Kept faith you really weren't what they all said
Keeping faith despite negative opinions from others.
And now look where that got me
Reflecting on the consequences of trusting the listener.
All the fuck ups and missteps
Repetition of acknowledgment of mistakes and missteps.
Just linger like incense
Reiterating the lasting impact of errors, akin to incense lingering.
Man I think I shoulda seen how this would end
Regretting not foreseeing the consequences of a relationship.
Well now it's best to just cut ties
Advocating for the termination of ties.
Resent all the good times
Expressing resentment towards past positive experiences.
Man I wish I knew you hated all my friends
Reiterating the discovery of the listener's dislike for the singer's friends.
Man I didn't know you hated all my friends
Expressing surprise at the discovery of the listener's aversion to the singer's friends.
