Lyrics
Crystal ball divine
Reference to a mystical or insightful perspective.
See your handwriting on my wall
Observing a message or sign on a wall.
Say goodbye a second time
Saying farewell for the second time.
Violence, violence, violence
Repeated emphasis on violence, possibly indicating turmoil.
And i’ll be different, i promise
Promising a change in behavior or attitude.
Comfort in the in between
Finding comfort in an intermediate state or situation.
And i’ll be different, just static
Reiterating a promise to be different, with a static quality.
Behind the crystal screen
Being distant or protected behind a crystal screen.
It’s never cold
Assuring that it's never cold.
I’ve only seen it hail about three times
Recalling rare instances of hail, emphasizing rarity.
I wore a jacket for you
Symbolic gesture of wearing a jacket for someone.
Couldn’t have you putting yours on mine
Avoiding vulnerability by not sharing personal items.
Stepped in a puddle
Encountering an obstacle or setback.
My socks got wet and i ran
Reacting swiftly to a challenge, possibly running away.
On the pavement
Literal or metaphorical journey on pavement.
Stuck on the lawn
Stuck or delayed in a situation, possibly reflective.
Won’t be too long / won’t be too long
Anticipating a relatively short duration of being stuck.
Moving picture of it
Creating a mental image or memory.
In my head
Mentally replaying an image in the mind.
Take a still even though I’ll probably forget
Capturing a moment through a still image despite potential forgetfulness.
Telegraphs and omens from the phone booth Bought a shirt so it could turn my eyes blue
Receiving signs or messages, altering appearance for someone.
Under the carpet, under the table
Concealing something beneath the surface, possibly emotions.
Checking my numbers, keeping it stable
Monitoring and maintaining stability and control.
Afraid that i’m nervous
Expressing fear or anxiety about being nervous.
But i know i wouldn’t ask you even if i knew you’d heard it
Choosing not to seek confirmation even if the other person knows.
Crystal ball divine
Repeating the opening lines for emphasis.
See your handwriting on my wall
Revisiting a message or sign on the wall.
Say goodbye a second time
Reiterating the act of saying goodbye for the second time.
Violence, violence, violence
Emphasizing the theme of violence and its impact.
And i’ll be different, i promise
Renewing the promise of a transformative change.
Comfort in the in between
Finding comfort in an intermediate state or situation.
And i’ll be different, just static Behind the crystal screen
Reiterating a promise to be different, with a static quality.
