Lyrics
Our early years could not have been more different,
Reflecting on the contrast between our early experiences.
I'm playing out you're playing with a game.
Highlighting a difference in approach or attitude, playing out one's life versus engaging in a strategic game.
But who could have known, that you would take the thrown
Expressing surprise that the other person has achieved prominence or authority.
Become the one with something to your name.
Becoming successful and known for something.
You weren't the first to pass me by, I'm sure you won't be the last
Acknowledging past experiences with others and anticipating future interactions.
I'm taking in everything
Openness to learning and absorbing various aspects of life.
Thanking you for the insight
Expressing gratitude for gaining valuable insights from the other person.
If you don't mind I'll go back, sit in the dark
Expressing a desire to retreat and reminisce in solitude, perhaps due to a challenging situation.
And long for when we were alright.
Longing for a past time when things were better between them.
I am barely older now we're men,
Noting the minimal age difference now that both have grown into adulthood.
And fighting never was our style back home.
Contrasting with the past, where conflicts were not a part of their relationship.
So lets have a drink just whilst I think,
Suggesting a casual get-together over drinks to ponder and analyze one's understanding of life.
About deconstructing all I know.
Delving into a process of breaking down and reevaluating one's beliefs and knowledge.
(And whilst I'm low)
Noting a state of emotional vulnerability or introspection.
Nightmares are made of this, the fear that you'll amount to nothing.
Expressing the fear of insignificance or failure, depicted as nightmares.
Somewhere beyond the confidence there's more to this, the need to leave a legacy.
Acknowledging a deeper complexity beyond surface confidence and the aspiration to leave a lasting impact.
Look me in the eye, promise you'll stay, It's so pathetic but I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Making a somewhat desperate plea for the other person to stay, acknowledging the sentiment's pathetic nature.
