Lyrics
Well I need a ride home
Expressing a need for transportation back home.
To become what you saw in me
Desiring to embody the qualities perceived by someone else.
I stole their Islands
Claiming possession or control over territories (metaphorical "Islands").
I need to evolve with no sight of land
Seeking personal growth without a clear direction.
Cuz I see my pleading
Reflecting on personal struggles or pleas for help.
Through a door, through a keyhole
Perceiving challenges or opportunities symbolically.
And now I need a metaphor
Expressing a need for a meaningful comparison or analogy.
To describe my drinking in a holy way
Describing a drinking habit with a sense of reverence.
Never there
Not physically present or available.
And god knows I've tried
Acknowledging efforts made despite challenges.
To weigh in
Expressing a desire to contribute or have an impact.
We stood around there
Being present in a particular location with others.
Til' there were a pack of vultures
Encountering a threatening or opportunistic situation (vultures).
And oh disintegration
Referring to a state of decay or falling apart.
Are we still in a million pieces
Questioning the cohesion of a collective identity.
As you said we need to lie down
Suggesting a need for rest or contemplation.
To preserve the words we lost
Preserving the value of lost or forgotten words.
So please lets be gentle
Advocating for a gentle approach in interactions.
Humanity just walked it's way
Observing the progression of humanity.
Never there
Reiterating absence or non-participation.
I'm on the outside
Feeling disconnected or excluded from a group.
And god knows I've tried
Acknowledging attempts to contribute despite challenges.
To weigh in
Expressing a desire to be involved or considered.
And you say
Introducing someone else's perspective or objection.
This is not what I'm here for
Rejecting the current situation as not aligned with personal goals.
I'm not smiling anymore
Conveying a loss of joy or satisfaction.
Tried to tell you this a long time ago
Attempting to communicate a message from the past.
Now I teared a hole
Creating an opening or pathway to a necessary destination.
Through were you need to go
Acknowledging constant support from someone.
You've always been there
Recognizing persistent efforts despite challenges.
And hell knows you've tried
Highlighting the perseverance of someone in difficult situations.
You still got time to shine
Encouraging someone to embrace their time to shine.
Away you go
Expressing departure or letting go.
Away you go
Repeating the sentiment of departure.
