Narcoleptic
Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Narcoleptic Reflections
Lyrics
Bored again, this is beginning to be a habit
Bored again, becoming a habit, possibly a repetitive cycle of boredom.
Been forming opinion before acceptance
Forming opinions before accepting a newer value system.
Of your newer value system
Reflecting on a changed set of values.
Been downing our afterhours
Consuming after-hours activities.
Along with every drink in sight
Drinking excessively along with the latest trends.
Of the latest fashion trend
Expressing inability to comprehend certain fashion trends.
That I'll never understand
Reiterating confusion about current fashion trends.
Again
Emphasizing the ongoing lack of understanding.
Drunk again on everything I didn't get to
Being intoxicated and regretful about unspoken words.
Tell you, one by one they line up asking
People questioning the speaker's presence and purpose.
Why I'm here
Wondering why the speaker is in a particular situation.
Don't say I'm insincere
Defending against accusations of insincerity.
This bottle's long ago since emptied
Empty bottle symbolizing past experiences.
And the temperature went down an hour ago
Time passing, possibly a metaphor for a cooling relationship.
I stood up and declared
Declaring love for something intangible or absent.
My love for what's not there
Expressing affection for the nonexistent.
And I'd break the arms for everyone
Willingness to endure hardship for a connection.
If it would lead me to your bed
Desire to be close to someone emotionally.
And get me inside your head
Wanting to understand someone on a deeper level.
And I'd take every last drop of this sea
Willingness to endure challenges for understanding.
If it would help me understand
Seeking comprehension or escape through drastic measures.
Or let me fall asleep instead
Choosing an alternative, possibly avoiding a difficult situation.
In a different bed
Contemplating a different path for rest or resolution.
Say that again?
Expressing confusion, possibly having missed part of the conversation.
I must have dozed off in between
Indicating a lapse in attention between verses.
The first verse and the second chance
Referencing a missed opportunity to separate from someone.
To get you away from me
Suggesting the end of a relationship or connection.
So this is the end of everything we had
Acknowledging the conclusion of something significant.
Appropriate it seems
Finding the end appropriate in the speaker's perspective.
to me that from the bar room floor
Reflecting on a commonality from the perspective of a bar.
Everything's the same to me
Asserting the similarity of everything from a specific viewpoint.
Everything is the same to me
Reiterating the speaker's perception of uniformity.
And I'd break the arms for everyone
Repeating the willingness to endure hardship for connection.
If it would lead me to your bed
Reiterating the desire for emotional closeness.
And get me inside your head
Repeating the wish to understand on a deeper level.
And I'd take every last drop of this sea
Reiterating the readiness to face challenges for understanding.
If it would help me understand
Repeating the quest for comprehension or escape.
Or let me fall asleep instead
Reiterating the choice of an alternative, possibly avoiding difficulty.
In a different bed
Repeating contemplation of a different path for rest or resolution.
