Lyrics
I think I am symptomatic
I believe I am showing symptoms of something
I feel the heat and it’s running through my veins
I sense intense warmth flowing through my veins
It’s contagious!
There is something contagious about it
It’s contagious!
Emphasizing the contagious nature
And everyday you’re so much closer
Every day, the situation becomes more immediate
Give me little boxes to put in my display
Provide me with small compartments for public view
Until you’re over it
Continue until the situation is resolved
Until you’re sick of it
Persist until you are tired of it
Expiry! Expiry!
Highlighting the concept of expiration
Young lady, young lady.
Addressing a young lady
Expiry! Expiry!
Reiteration of the expiration theme
Young lady, young lady, young man.
Addressing a young lady and young man
I think I might see a doctor
Contemplating the need to consult a doctor
I – I wonder why I’m not getting any sleep
Questioning the difficulty in sleeping
It’s infectious!
Describing the infectious nature of the situation
It’s infectious!
Reiterating the infectious quality
You push your pin into to my skin
Metaphorically describing an intrusion into personal space
But it’s hard to suck in
Expressing difficulty in handling the situation
When you’re filling me with air
Metaphorically being filled with air
Give me a piece of it
Requesting a share of the situation
Just let me live a bit
Asking for a chance to experience life
Expiry! Expiry!
Repeating the theme of expiration
Young lady, young lady.
Addressing a young lady
Expiry! Expiry!
Again emphasizing the concept of expiration
Young lady, young lady, young man.
Addressing a young lady and young man
I was just minding my business until there were numbers to follow and boxes to fill – to fill!
Describing a shift from a passive state to an active one
Just here in my body until there were numbers to follow and boxes to fill – to fill!
Being present in one's body when confronted with responsibilities
Just minding my business until there were numbers to follow and boxes to fill – to fill!
Returning to personal affairs when faced with obligations
Just here in my body until there were numbers and boxes and corners to cry in…
Being physically present when faced with challenges and emotions
Expiry! Expiry!
Reiterating the theme of expiration
Young lady, young lady.
Addressing a young lady
Expiry! Expiry!
Repeating the urgency of expiration
Young lady, young lady, young man.
Addressing a young lady and young man
Expiry! Expiry!
Once again, emphasizing the theme of expiration
Young lady, young lady.
Addressing a young lady
Expiry! Expiry!
Reiterating the urgency of expiration
Young lady, young lady, young man.
Addressing a young lady and young man
