Lyrics
Soft breeze the afternoon it blows away
Describes a gentle afternoon breeze that disperses.
Is it easy to retain the memory
Raises the question of whether retaining memories is easy.
Or are you forgetting your name
Asks if the person is forgetting their own name.
Slow day slow year really it's all the same
Reflects on the slow passage of time, suggesting monotony.
I don't wanna go I don't want to go
Expresses a reluctance to go anywhere.
Anywhere anymore anyway
Indicates a general lack of interest in going anywhere.
Last year this time I thought I was gonna lose my mind
Recalls a challenging time last year when the singer felt on the verge of losing their mind.
But I'm here I'm still alive

I guess it's gonna be alright
Expresses a tentative optimism that things will be okay.
We'll be alright we'll be alright we'll be alright
Reiterates the belief that everything will be alright, emphasizing reassurance.
We'll be alright we'll be alright we'll be alright
-Time flies when you're having fun
Acknowledges the swift passage of time when enjoying oneself.
But these are not fun times
Contrasts the concept of time flying with the current difficult circumstances.
So I languish 'round the unprofound not ever flying
Describes a state of languishing and not soaring, possibly feeling stuck.
But not quite touching ground
Portrays a state of being neither fully airborne nor grounded.
Stretched out and relaxed oh let's watch the world go south
Suggests a relaxed attitude, observing the world's negative changes.
But I don't wanna know 'cause I already know
Expresses a desire not to know more about the negative aspects.
So darling could you just shut your fucking mouth
Direct and harsh request to stop talking about negative things.
Last year this time I thought I was gonna lose my mind

But I'm here I'm still alive
