Duty Free
Crossing Lines, Wasted Faith, and Duty-Free Escapes
Lyrics
There are some lines that can't be crossed
Some boundaries cannot be violated.
But sometimes those lines get lost
Occasionally, those boundaries become unclear or overlooked.
Should I stay or should I cross?
Contemplating whether to remain within limits or transgress.
I was crippled
The speaker felt handicapped or impaired.
When you were faithful I was wasted
During your fidelity, I was in a state of wastefulness or ruin.
Do you need anything from duty free?
Asking if there's anything needed from the duty-free shop.
I gotta get out of this endless day
Expressing a desire to escape from a seemingly endless day.
Do you need anything from duty free?
Repeating the inquiry about duty-free items.
I gotta get out of the U.S.A.
Expressing a need to leave the United States.
Kickin in gifts to the trickers and treaters
Contributing gifts to both deceivers and those deceived.
Kill em with kindness and gifts for the needy
Suggesting a strategy of being kind and providing gifts to the less fortunate.
Brinkman and Lloyd's or I'll drink it from toilets
Mentioning specific places (Brinkman and Lloyd's) or resorting to extreme measures (drinking from toilets).
Sit on your glasses while your money gets moist
Engaging in inappropriate behavior, possibly metaphorical, while wealth undergoes degradation.
Hide all the luggage you better hide it from trouble
Advising to conceal luggage to avoid trouble.
Smells like the '40s like Europe and rubble
Eliciting a sense of historical turmoil, likening the atmosphere to the 1940s.
The locals don't know you they're the ones you want love from
Seeking affection from strangers rather than locals.
Comforts or cots let me check yeah I got one
Checking for availability of comforts or cots.
If I could I would change my name
If possible, the speaker would change their identity.
And get a girl and jump a plane
Expressing a desire to start anew with a partner and travel.
I overheard them say they want to rearrange their faces
Overhearing a desire for facial rearrangement and self-destructive thoughts.
And blow out their brains
Expressing a state of being peculiar or unusual during a period of wastefulness.
I was strange while I was wasted
Highlighting an eccentric or unconventional behavior during a period of being impaired.
