Lyrics
In like a day or so I’ll be out of the city
Leaving the city in approximately a day, indicating a desire to escape urban life.
And you’ll be running backwards to get me
Anticipating that someone will try to stop or reverse the departure.
I’m afraid you’ll trip or fall or something
Expressing concern that the person trying to stop the departure might encounter obstacles.
We can’t keep chasing this cycle
Acknowledging the need to break free from a repetitive and unproductive pattern.
And now I know the difference
Reflecting on newfound awareness and understanding.
Between peace of mind
Distinguishing between a state of mental calmness and behaving poorly.
And acting like a piece of shit all of the time
Contrasting inner peace with consistently behaving in a negative manner.
You said
Recalling a promise or statement made by someone.
You said you’d notice
Highlighting an expectation that the person should have noticed something.
You said
Repetition of the statement expressing an unfulfilled expectation.
You said you’d notice
Repetition emphasizing the disappointment of not being noticed.
You said
Reiteration of the unmet expectation regarding being noticed.
You said you’d notice
Emphasizing the continued disappointment of not being noticed.
You said
Repetition underscoring the unfulfilled expectation of being noticed.
You said you’d notice
Continued emphasis on the disappointment of not being noticed.
In like a day or so I’ll be out of the city
Reiteration of the intention to leave the city soon.
And you’ll be running backwards to get me
Expecting someone to try to reverse the departure once again.
I’m afraid you’ll trip or fall or something
Reiterating concern about potential obstacles during the attempt to stop the departure.
We can’t keep chasing this cycle
Stressing the need to break free from a repetitive and unproductive cycle.
And now I know the difference
Reflecting on the now clear distinction between inner peace and negative behavior.
Between peace of mind
Reiterating the contrast between having peace of mind and consistently behaving poorly.
And acting like a piece of shit all of the time
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle with behaving negatively despite understanding.
Peace of mind
Summarizing the desired state of mental calmness.
Peace of mind
Repeating the importance of achieving and maintaining peace of mind.
