Lyrics
I've been thinking every night
I've been contemplating every night
I've been figuring out what's right
I've been trying to understand what's morally right
I've been thinking all day long
I've been deep in thought throughout the day
I've been figuring out what's right
I've been figuring out the correct course of action
I got a hand full of nothing
I possess nothing substantial or valuable
And pocket full of air
I have an empty pocket, symbolizing a lack of material wealth
Got an airplane ticket
I hold an airplane ticket, but I lack a destination
But no place to land
There's no specific place for the airplane to land
Yeah I got a deck that's damned
My situation is unfavorable or doomed
And pocket full of air
Similar to line 7, emphasizing emptiness and lack
I've been chased by the police
I've been pursued or chased by law enforcement
I've been put on a leash
I've been restricted or controlled like being put on a leash
I've been talking on my phone
I've been engaging in phone conversations
With somebody I do not know
Communicating with someone unfamiliar
I got a hand full of nothing
Reiteration of having nothing tangible
And pocket full of air
Reiteration of an empty pocket, devoid of wealth
Got an airplane ticket
Reiteration of having a means of travel but no destination
But no place to land, yeah
No specific place for the airplane to land
I got a deck that's damned
Emphasis on an unfortunate or doomed situation
And pocket full of air
Similar to line 7 and line 11, reinforcing emptiness
I got a hand full of nothing
Continuation of having nothing substantial
And pocket full of air
Continuation of an empty pocket, symbolic of lack
Got an airplane ticket
Continuation of having a means of travel without a destination
But no place to land
Reiteration of the absence of a specific landing place
Yeah I got a deck
Emphasis on an unfavorable or doomed situation
That's damned
Reiteration of emptiness and lack in a deck of cards
And pocket full of air
Similar to line 7, line 11, and line 23, highlighting emptiness
I got a hand full of nothing
Repetition of having nothing substantial or valuable
And pocket full of air
Repetition of an empty pocket, symbolizing a lack of wealth
Got an airplane ticket
Repetition of having a means of travel without a destination
But no place to land
Reiteration of the absence of a specific landing place
Yeah I got a deck that's damned
Emphasis on an unfavorable or doomed situation
I got a hand full of nothing
Repetition of having nothing substantial or valuable
And pocket full of air
Repetition of an empty pocket, symbolizing a lack of wealth
Got an airplane ticket
Repetition of having a means of travel without a destination
But no place to land
Reiteration of the absence of a specific landing place
Yeah I got a deck that's damned
Emphasis on an unfavorable or doomed situation
And pocket full of air
Similar to line 7, line 11, line 23, and line 31, underlining emptiness
