Oh brother don't wake me up,
Expressing a desire to remain undisturbed, possibly avoiding reality or responsibilities.
I'll sleep all day, she said
Quoting someone expressing a preference for sleeping throughout the day.
My sister said to me
Reference to a sister's statement about disliking the town they are in.
I hate this town that's laying under me
Shared agreement about a negative sentiment towards the town.
I agree, I agree with you sister
Reiterating agreement with the sister's viewpoint.
You know I'd love to go
Expressing a willingness to go to New York City with the sister.
With you to New York city
Limitation due to a lack of financial means, expressing inability to go to New York City.
But me and Ossi ain't got no money
Empty line.
If I filled the cracks in my ceiling
Describing a potential improvement to the living space by filling ceiling cracks.
If would look fine but
Acknowledging the potential aesthetic improvement, but pointing out hidden issues.
There's moisture and mould there behind
Highlighting the presence of moisture and mold behind the superficial improvement.
I'll bloom like everything always do
Expressing a belief in personal growth and flourishing despite challenges.
But if you take this can of white spray
Suggesting a solution involving a can of white spray to hide problems.
And just spray all over
Continuation of the solution to spray all over and stay in an apartment.
We'd hide in your apartment forever
Desiring to escape or avoid negative thoughts by hiding.
Or at least until these stupid thoughts have disiesed
Linking the desire to hide to overcoming troubling thoughts.
Oh mother you were warm
Addressing the mother, describing her as warm yet emotionally distant.
But yet so cold when
Reflecting on the mother's demeanor after returning from Italy.
You came home from Italy
Highlighting a contradiction in the mother's warmth and coldness.
And my father he didn't understand
Describing the father's lack of understanding.
But I understand you both more than you know
Claiming a deeper understanding of both parents than they might realize.
So why don't you
Prompting the mother to ask a question, possibly seeking understanding.
Why don't you ask me
Questioning why the mother doesn't ask for information or share feelings.
We all got plans and we all got believes
Asserting that everyone has plans and beliefs, implying the need for communication.
And I believe that love
Expressing a belief in the imminent arrival of love.
Soon will come to me
Anticipating love building up internally.
It's building up inside
Describing a growing internal emotion related to a precious girl.
The precious girl
Confidently predicting that the girl will win the lottery, possibly metaphorical.
Will win the lottery
Empty line.
If I filled the cracks of my ceiling
Repetition of the idea of filling ceiling cracks for improvement.
It would look fine but
Reiteration of the aesthetic improvement contrasted with hidden issues.
There's moisture and mould there behind
Repeating the presence of moisture and mold behind the facade.
It'll bloom like everything always do
Reaffirming a belief in personal growth despite challenges.
Yeah
Concluding with a positive affirmation of growth and blooming.
