Clean Up
Redemption Quest: Unraveling the Aftermath of Celebration
Lyrics
Clean up next day
Refers to cleaning up the day after a celebration or event.
From the tickertape parade that you threw for me
Referencing a grand celebration (tickertape parade) thrown on the singer's behalf.
I thought I earned half heartedly
The singer believed they partly earned or deserved the celebration but not wholeheartedly.
But we both know I don't deserve a thing
Admitting that they know they don't truly deserve any recognition or celebration.
Spill out my chest
Expressing emotional turmoil, pouring out feelings onto paper.
On to paper for a check
Turning emotions into a tangible form, possibly for assessment or validation.
That we cashed too soon
A metaphorical realization that they acted prematurely and are now facing consequences.
And now the government is on my stoop
The government is seeking official documents, possibly related to the singer's actions or affairs.
Awaiting documents and beating down my door
The authorities are aggressively pursuing the required paperwork or compliance.
Everyone is sleeping and everyone is sad
Observation that people around are sleeping and feeling melancholic.
And everything is perfect, perfect wasn't bad
Suggesting that despite imperfections, everything feels right or acceptable.
Jesus Christ I need you
An emotional plea or cry for help directed towards Jesus Christ.
I need you now
An urgent request for assistance or guidance from Jesus.
Or anyone who feels like helping out
Seeking help from anyone willing to assist or offer support.
Jesus Christ I need you
Reiterating the desperate need for help from Jesus Christ.
I need you now
Re-emphasizing the immediate need for assistance or support.
Or anyone who feels like helping out
Requesting aid from anyone who is willing to lend a hand.
