Lyrics
up here in the tv-tower
Reflecting on a vantage point in the TV tower.
everyone gone
Everyone has left the scene.
now it’s just me and you
Only the speaker and someone else remain.
sitting here enjoying the view
Savoring the scenery from the tower.
us two we don’t have a clue
The speaker and the other person are clueless.
baby everyone
Contrasts the desire for understanding with reality.
always wanna think we do but
People want to believe they understand everything.
up here life and everything is cool
Life seems cool and detached from up high.
baby baby
Repetition of "baby" for emphasis.
can you see what i see
Asking the other person if they perceive the same.
everybody’s
Observing general unhappiness.
so unhappy
Highlighting widespread dissatisfaction.
baby baby
Repetition of the previous stanza.
can you see what i see
Questioning shared perception again.
everybody’s
Everyone is constantly in need.
always in need
Underlining the perpetual state of neediness.
Expressing a feeling or realization.
up here in the tv-tower
Reiteration of being in the TV tower.
seeing the debris
Observing the remnants or aftermath.
of a world once at peace
Reflecting on a world that was once peaceful.
sitting here enjoying the view
Enjoying the view despite the destruction.
who knew after all we been through
Realizing that personal growth is stagnant.
that we never grew
Despite experiences, there is no individual progress.
everything seems so new
Things seem new and refreshing.
us two looking at a sky so blue
Both individuals admiring a clear sky.
baby baby
Repetition of the questioning about shared perception.
can you see what i see
Asking the other person to see what the speaker sees.
ain’t nobody’s
Nobody is ever at peace.
ever at ease
Highlighting the perpetual lack of ease in life.
baby baby
Repetition of the questioning about shared perception.
can u see what i see
Asking the other person to see and agree.
ain’t nobody
Nobody ever agrees on things.
ever agrees
Highlighting the perpetual lack of agreement.
baby baby can u see
Asking the other person again to see.
baby baby can u see
Repetition for emphasis.
baby baby can u see what i see
Repetition of the questioning about shared perception.
ain’t nobody
Nobody sees what the speaker and the other person see.
sees what we see
Highlighting a unique perception or understanding.
uuh
Expressing a feeling or realization.
