Lyrics
When they set that guy on fire
Reflecting on witnessing someone being set on fire
I was confused by the eye contact
Confused by the eye contact during the incident
From a far
Observing from a distance
From a far with your mate round your arm
Noticing someone with a friend around their arm who wasn't present
Who wasn't there
Emphasizing absence
And neither were you
Highlighting the absence of the listener
But at least she said
At least she advised talking more
That I should talk to you more
Referring to a missed opportunity to connect
But I didn't then
Regretting not talking more
And now you're somebody else that I haven't met
Expressing a sense of unfamiliarity with the transformed person
I should talk more
Reiterating the need for more communication
Push me through this wall
Seeking support to overcome obstacles
Is this it
Questioning the current situation
Say your name again
Requesting the repetition of a name
In this room since ten
Noting the duration of being in the room since ten
Is this it
Repeating the question about the situation
I was frozen in my feet
Describing a state of shock or paralysis
I couldn't fucking breathe
Experiencing difficulty breathing
You didn't even speak to me
Recalling a lack of communication from the other person
You could've just even
Expressing a missed opportunity for interaction
We're an hour and a few years too late
Realizing the delay in connecting
To talk and not have it be a piss poor chat about the good old days
Highlighting the challenge of discussing the past without enthusiasm
But nothing's changed
Acknowledging the persistence of certain feelings
I still feel the same
Affirming the constancy of emotions
I should talk more
Reiterating the need for more communication
Push me through this wall
Seeking support to overcome obstacles (repeated)
Is this it
Questioning the current situation (repeated)
Say your name again
Requesting the repetition of a name (repeated)
In this room since ten
Noting the duration of being in the room since ten (repeated)
Is this it
Repeating the question about the situation (repeated)
And I know it's hard to be sincere
Acknowledging the difficulty of sincerity
But can you tell me we're friends
Asking for assurance of friendship without insincerity
Without laughing like you're
Describing a situation where sincerity is challenging
Held at gunpoint
Imagining a forced sincerity akin to being held at gunpoint
In the studio audience of a show you don't like
Comparing insincere laughter to a studio audience in an unwanted show
To tell people that you actually kind of
Expressing a contradictory feeling towards something
Love
Acknowledging love but possibly with a certain level of intoxication
When you're drunk
Recalling a past statement about the passage of time
Said it's been a while
Mentioning a lapse in communication
So I moved up
Indicating upward movement or progress
You asked how are things
Asking about the current state of things
I said shit
Responding with a negative assessment of the situation
You agreed
Acknowledging agreement with the negative assessment
Spilt your drink all over me
Experiencing a spill of a drink, possibly symbolizing disruption or messiness
