Hockey Skates
Tired of Routine: Consequence and Disconnection
Lyrics
Going down in the same old town down the same street to the same bar
Expressing a sense of monotony and routine in visiting the same places in town.
And the same old people saying hi and I don't care
Indifference to the familiar faces and greetings in the same environment.
Going down in the same old bar and I don't even order anymore
Feeling a lack of enthusiasm even in the familiar setting of a regular bar.
I am so sick of consequence and the look on your face
Frustration with facing the repercussions of actions and the negative reactions from others.
I am tired of playing defense
Expressing weariness of always being on the defensive, perhaps in personal relationships.
I don't even have hockey skates
Highlighting a lack of interest or involvement in a specific activity, symbolized by not owning hockey skates.
You can meet me at ten thirty
Suggesting a meeting time, but conveying the speaker's intention not to be present.
I won't be there I'll be gone
Emphasizing the speaker's absence at the proposed meeting time.
We can talk like we are friends
Acknowledging the possibility of conversation but hinting at a strained or distant relationship.
Going over it all again
Anticipating a discussion or reflection on past events.
Talking about everything I am doing wrong
Discussing perceived personal shortcomings and mistakes.
Do you wish your nose was longer
Pondering on physical appearance, possibly as a metaphor for wishing for a different perspective.
So you'd have an excuse not to see past it
Suggesting a desire to avoid confronting certain truths or realities.
Do you wish the lights were brighter in the city that you live
Questioning the brightness of the environment and the liveliness of the city.
I am so sick of consequence?..
Reiteration of frustration with consequences, possibly emphasizing its impact.
Do you think your boys club will crumble
Challenging the stability of a group or social circle due to the presence of an outspoken woman.
Just because of a loud-mouthed girl?
Predicting potential disruption caused by a bold and outspoken woman within a male-dominated group.
