Lollipops or Cigarettes
Lost Nights and Fading Frames: In Luna's Garden Chronicles
Lyrics
My friends have combat boots with spikes
Friends have aggressive fashion choices like combat boots with spikes.
The fashion
Referring to the trends or style prevalent among friends.
Long dark coats or pastel sweaters and tight jeans
Describing the variety in clothing preferences among friends, from dark coats to pastel sweaters and tight jeans.
Leave the old behind, forever
Embracing change and leaving the past behind permanently.
I guess it's not bad just how things are
Acceptance of the current situation as not entirely negative.
Put their shoes by the door, my friends
Friends have a habit of leaving their shoes near the door.
Shout so loud blow the roof off the sunset
Friends express themselves loudly, energetically.
Smoke on stools, in the back
Smoking in a relaxed setting, possibly a bar or hangout spot.
That's just how my friends are, I still love them all
Despite their quirks, the singer still loves their friends.
Jukebox running low on new tracks
Jukebox lacks new music; old rock songs are continuously played.
So keep playing old rock songs as anthems
Old rock songs serve as anthems, providing temporary enjoyment.
And it might seem nice, just for now
Temporary pleasure derived from the current situation.
But you can't keep living as curated art
Living life cannot be artificially curated or controlled.
Popcorn theater first kiss, like movies
Comparing initial romantic experiences to a scripted movie scene.
First time seems so sweet it's what they wanted
The first romantic encounter seems fulfilling initially.
But that feeling, it wears off
Over time, the initial thrill or excitement fades away.
My friends lost their romance, I mourn them all
Friends have lost their sense of romanticism, which is mourned.
(Please, you're still in there)
Repeated plea or question regarding someone's presence or essence.
(are you still in there?)
-(are you in there, there, there?)
-Picture perfect queens in Polaroids
Imagery of perfect individuals captured in photographs.
Photo shaking, dance until there's color
Shaky images of dancing individuals in photographs, indicating a dynamic life.
I tell them every day, but we all know
An acknowledgment of reality despite daily affirmations.
Those faded frames just aren't how things are
Real life does not mirror the picturesque scenes in photographs.
That new film was a bore, she said
A recent experience or film was uninteresting.
We know cus we've lived it ten times or more
Repeatedly experiencing similar situations leads to boredom.
I guess that things don't change
Implying a lack of significant change over time.
That's just how the time passes by us all
The passage of time affects everyone similarly.
I saw the best mind of my generation lost to madness
A reference to the decline or mental struggle of a brilliant mind.
She looked at me and said, real softly
Someone softly acknowledges a known truth.
"We've all known that for decades now"
Recognizing a long-standing truth or reality.
They don't come around here much, these days
Notable individuals or experiences are less frequent nowadays.
Leave the streets and bars darkened at night time
Streets and bars remain empty or devoid of the usual energy.
They'll look back, but won't return
Nostalgia for the past without the possibility of returning.
And that's just how my friends are I still love them all
Despite their traits, the singer still cherishes their friends.
Look we all flood the streets at night
Repeated emphasis on a routine: flooding streets, revelry till sunrise, then a return to silence.
Dance and scream until the sun comes up
-Then silence once more
-Look we all flood the streets at night
-Dance and scream until the sun comes up
-Then silence once more
-Look we all flood the streets at night
-Dance and scream until the sun comes up
-Then silence once more
-Look we all flood the streets at night
-Dance and scream until the sun comes up
-Then silence once more
-(Please, you're still in there)
Repeated plea or question regarding someone's presence or essence.
(are you still in there?)
-(are you in there, there, there?)
