Platform of Bones
Exploring Isolation: Jam 'N' Slate's Platform of Bones Revealed
Lyrics
I'm looking in your eyes
I am gazing into your eyes.
And I only see a mirror
All I see is a reflection of myself.
As my head gets blurry
My mind is becoming unclear or confused.
The image gets clearer
Despite the confusion, the image becomes more distinct or understandable.
Both of my legs went numb
I have lost sensation in both of my legs.
Feels like radio static
The sensation is comparable to the static of a radio signal.
Gonna spill your truths
I am going to reveal both your truths and mine.
And my own while I'm at it
This disclosure will happen simultaneously.
Something's off
Something feels wrong or out of place.
Top it off
To exacerbate the situation.
I just want to live like an astronaut
I desire to live a life akin to that of an astronaut.
Blasting off
Launching into a new phase or endeavor.
Cause he's all alone in space
Describing the isolation of an astronaut in space.
Just got second place
The astronaut has just achieved second place, possibly in a competition.
I would go against him but I'm not in the race
The speaker would compete but is not part of the race.
And I'm sitting here
I am present among my friends.
Here with all my friends
Sharing the space with familiar individuals.
And I know each and every one of them
I recognize and know each one of my friends.
But I'm all alone
Despite the company, I feel isolated.
Preaching from my platform of bones
I am advocating or speaking strongly from my platform, which may be made metaphorically of bones.
And I'm sitting here
I am still among my friends.
Here with all my friends
Similar to line 20, being in the company of friends.
Do I know each and every one of them?
Raising doubt about the depth of knowledge or connection with these friends.
Because we're all alone
Despite being together, there is a sense of individual loneliness.
Stranded on our platform of bones
All of us are stuck or isolated on a platform made metaphorically of bones.
