I Can't See
Kitchen Conversations and Houseplant Light: A Whimsical Tale by Kedron Asphalt Palace
Lyrics
Can you pass me a block of cheese
Request for a block of cheese
The one you cut so nicely for me (For me)
Acknowledgment of a nicely cut block of cheese for the speaker
You hurry up, but instead
Expressing urgency, but the action results in throwing the cheese into the riverbed
You throw it right in the riverbed
Unintended consequence of throwing the cheese in the riverbed
As I stand in the kitchen, with no lights on
Setting: Speaker in the kitchen with no lights on
You ask me a series of questions (Of questions)
Partner asking a series of questions in the dark kitchen
Like "are we good" "how are you" and "can I pet that dog"?
Questions include relationship status, well-being, and a playful query about a dog
And I say: Hey Google, turn some string lights on cause
Request to turn on string lights using Google Assistant
I can't see, I can't see, the only light is on a houseplant
Speaker expressing inability to see, with the only light coming from a houseplant
I can't see, I can't see, the only light is on a houseplant
Reiteration of the inability to see with limited light from a houseplant
Can I ask you a question please?
Request to ask a question
It would mean so much to me (To me)
The question is significant to the speaker
You hurry up, nod your head
Partner hurriedly nodding and returning to bed
Then go right back to bed
Action after nodding is going back to bed
As I stand in the kitchen, with no lights on
Repetition: Speaker in the kitchen with no lights on
You ask me a series of questions (Of questions)
Partner asking questions again in the dark kitchen
Like "are we good" "how are you" and "can I pet that dog"?
Repetition: Questions about relationship, well-being, and a playful dog query
And I say: Hey Google, turn some string lights on cause
Repetition: Request to turn on string lights using Google Assistant
I can't see, I can't see, the only light is on a houseplant
Reiteration of the inability to see, with the only light coming from a houseplant
I can't see, I can't see, the only light is on a houseplant
Reiteration: Inability to see with limited light from a houseplant
And there's boobytraps inside the bathroom, and I don't know what to do
Introduction of a new element: Boobytraps in the bathroom with purple water
The water is purple, and I can't see, but I know 656 will be there for you and me
Expression of uncertainty but reassurance that "656" will be there for both
