False Alarm
Navigating the Shadows: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'False Alarm'
Lyrics
I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I'm attempting to resolve this issue.
I drugged it in it's sleep
I tried to numb or suppress it when it was vulnerable.
There isn't many memories I'm comfortable to keep
I don't want to retain many memories associated with it.
This ball keeps rolling on
This situation keeps progressing.
It's heading for the street
It's moving uncontrollably towards a negative outcome.
Keep expecting you to send for me
I keep anticipating your request for my involvement.
The invitation never comes
The invitation or request never materializes.
Each time I turn around
Every time I look around,
There's nothing there at all
There's nothing present or substantial.
So tell me why I feel like
So why do I feel like
I'm up against a wall
I'm facing a significant challenge or obstacle?
But maybe it's a false alarm
However, it might be a false alarm.
And every answer sounds the same
And all the responses or solutions seem identical.
Just colors bleeding into one that hasn't got a name
Various experiences blending into one without a distinct identity.
Maybe I can't see
Perhaps I can't perceive clearly.
Maybe it's just me
Or maybe it's just my perspective.
Another curtains coming up
Another situation is unfolding.
The audience is still
The audience is still waiting.
I'm struggling to cater for
I'm struggling to meet the expectations for the role I'm supposed to fulfill.
The space I'm meant to fill
There's a gap or emptiness I need to occupy.
And distance doesn't care
And distance doesn't show concern.
No distance doesn't care
No, distance is indifferent.
Each time I turn around
Every time I look around,
There's nothing there at all
There's nothing present or substantial.
So tell me why I feel like
So why do I feel like
I'm up against a wall
I'm facing a significant challenge or obstacle?
But maybe it's a false alarm
However, it might be a false alarm.
And every answer sounds the same
And all the responses or solutions seem identical.
Just colors bleeding into one that hasn't got a name
Various experiences blending into one without a distinct identity.
Maybe I can't see
Perhaps I can't perceive clearly.
Maybe it's just me
Or maybe it's just my perspective.
I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I'm attempting to resolve this issue.
I drugged it in it's sleep
I tried to numb or suppress it when it was vulnerable.
Remember what you said.
Remember what was communicated.
Are you comfortable to keep it?
Are you willing to retain it or accept it?
Keep it?
Retain it?
