Lyrics
A vacant fragrance begins to take your place
A sense of emptiness emerges, replacing your presence.
You know I know I know I'm fading
Acknowledging the fading of oneself.
I miss the way you shade those grays you know I can't replace it
Expressing a longing for the unique qualities only you possessed, which cannot be replaced.
Take nostalgia for the pain no I don't need no chaser
Choosing to endure pain over using a distraction (chaser).
I'm contemplating
Engaged in deep thought and reflection.
Pops he made my back for breaking to get this daily bread
Acknowledging the sacrifices made by family for sustenance.
He told me that the world is changing my boy don't loose your head
Advice from a father figure to navigate a changing world without losing oneself.
You know it rains on sunny days wear it on my face
Symbolizing challenges faced even on seemingly pleasant days.
The way she rearrange my shit was never safe
Referencing a relationship where personal boundaries were violated.
It's overnight and all this time should show you
Implying that time reveals the true nature of situations.
The weight upon my shoulders
The burden of responsibilities and growing older.
I was twenty growing older
Reflecting on the challenges faced at the age of twenty.
In a storm it's hard to focus
Difficulty concentrating during challenging times.
By the ocean with your eyes
Being by the ocean, contemplating change.
Changing of the tides
Symbolizing life's constant fluctuations.
I'm a Dirtbag and a loner please don't act like you're surprised
Self-identifying as a loner and acknowledging societal expectations.
The world is mine now keep your feelings to yourself
Asserting control over one's life and emotions.
Oh you cry wow just like everybody else
Observing others' emotions without surprise.
And when that flood hits I hope you're ready for the rain
Preparing for inevitable challenges and emotional storms.
Watch me as I drift away
Expressing a desire to detach and move away.
The world is mine now keep your feelings to yourself
Reiterating the need for emotional independence.
Oh you cry wow just like everybody else
Observing commonality in human emotions.
Take your time count every little minute
Encouraging patience and mindfulness.
Think your mine now did you forget that we were
Reminding someone of the past and its conclusion.
We were finished and nothing even mattered
Reflecting on the end of a relationship and its perceived insignificance.
Still these accusations come so tell me how your shattered
Facing accusations and questioning the impact on oneself.
I must've been an addict a liar or a cheat
Acknowledging personal flaws or misdeeds.
I love your little stories tell me what you think of me
Receiving judgment from others and contemplating self-worth.
I watched you set those fields on fire stealing nameless hearts
Observing destructive actions and their consequences.
You used to count me as a victim when you held me in the dark
Being treated as a victim in moments of darkness.
I can see that Oz has twisted I know it's not my home
Feeling displaced and uncertain about one's true home.
When another twister comes I wonder where she'll roam
Anticipating future upheavals and changes.
The world is mine now keep your feelings to yourself
Reiterating the theme of emotional independence.
Oh you cry wow just like everybody else
Noting the universality of emotional reactions.
And when that flood hits I hope you're ready for the rain
Preparing for challenges and emotional turbulence.
Watch me as I drift away
Expressing the desire to distance oneself.
The world is mine now keep your feelings to yourself
Emphasizing the need for personal emotional space.
Oh you cry wow just like everybody else
Observing commonality in human emotional experiences.
And when that flood hits I hope you're ready for the rain
Preparing for challenges and emotional turbulence.
Watch me as I drift away
Reiterating the desire to detach and move away.
Imma miss the crane sitting on the tree just her silhouette oh her silhouette
Nostalgia for a specific memory involving a crane and rain.
And evenings filled with rain falling over me can you feel it yet I don't feel it yet
Expressing a lack of current emotional connection.
Watch me as I drift away
Reiterating the desire to distance oneself.
Oh you cry
Observing commonality in human emotional experiences.
Watch me as I drift away
Reiterating the desire to detach and move away.
