How to Skip Rocks
Longing Under Halogen Lights
Lyrics
There's something wrong with me, I never get off early
Expressing a personal flaw or issue, struggling to leave work early.
So I just serenade you in my mind under halogen lights
Fantasizing about serenading someone mentally in a specific setting with bright lights.
But my heart isn't satisfied
Despite the mental serenade, the speaker's heart remains unsatisfied.
With you in memory, it really ain't the same thing
Reflecting on the inadequacy of memories compared to real experiences with the person.
So I just figure out how to skip rocks in the back of my mind
Adopting a mental distraction (skipping rocks) to cope with dissatisfaction.
But my heart isn't satisfied
Reiteration of the dissatisfaction despite the mental distraction.
(So I figure out how to skip rocks in the back of my)
Continuation of the mental activity, emphasizing its recurring nature.
Digital remedy, underneath my phone screen
Introducing a digital escape or remedy, possibly through technology.
It's just a recipe for disaster on a Saturday night
Describing the digital remedy as a potential source of trouble on Saturday nights.
'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
Despite the potential disaster, the heart remains unsatisfied.
Until you're next to me, I'll just finish pacing
Expressing restlessness until the person is physically present.
I'm gonna figure out how to skip rocks in the back of my mind
Returning to the mental distraction, determined to find a solution.
'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
Reiterating the persistent dissatisfaction of the heart.
'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
Emphasizing the repeated nature of the dissatisfaction.
'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied
-'Cause my heart isn't satisfied, until you
Stating that the heart won't be satisfied until the person is present.
If you're satisfied with your message, press one
A possibly disconnected line, suggesting a shift in tone or perspective.
Huh?
An exclamation expressing confusion or surprise.
