Lyrics
Dead stop on the curb
Feeling halted abruptly on the curb.
With eyes in back of my head
Being watchful and alert, aware of surroundings.
Curbside inside around parking ??
Navigating the periphery, possibly in a parking area.
Got a sore throat keeping you down
Physically affected by a sore throat.
A sick desire been creeping around
Experiencing an unsettling, unhealthy longing.
Got a gallon of blood squeezing through my chest
Intense emotions, metaphorically described as blood squeezing through the chest.
And the closer I am to you the thicker it gets
Emotional intensity increases with proximity to someone.
A knife in the back and stuck in one place
Feeling betrayed and immobilized.
With a pat on the back and a slap on the face
Receiving both praise and betrayal simultaneously.
Keep trying to see from a better position
Struggling for a better perspective.
It's no good
Realizing efforts are futile.
And it never really makes any difference
No meaningful impact or change despite efforts.
If it could
Acceptance of the lack of impact.
Sick of having to start all over again
Frustration at restarting things repeatedly.
Here comes a big insider, turn myself in
Anticipating self-exposure or confession.
Thinking of ways to explain everything
Reflecting on ways to communicate and clarify.
This sick desire, don't you do a thing
Despite desires, unable to act.
Keep trying to see from a better position
Continued struggle for a better perspective.
It's no good
Recognition that efforts are futile.
And it never really makes any difference
No meaningful impact or change despite efforts (reiteration).
If it could
Acceptance of the lack of impact (reiteration).
Sick of having my hear right all over my face
Frustration at emotional vulnerability.
And the backseat drivers taking my place
Feeling displaced, losing control to external influences.
Got me staring at you eyes dropped like lead
Intense scrutiny and contemplation of someone.
It's a cruel reminder and it's all in my head
Emotional pain as a persistent mental reminder.
