Lyrics
I've been walking in this neighborhood for quite some time
The speaker has been exploring the neighborhood for a significant duration.
I've been trying for a while to walk a straight line
Despite efforts, the speaker struggles to maintain a straightforward path in life.
Road blocks keeping me from going on
Obstacles hinder the speaker's progress.
All these old buildings with their history
The speaker observes old buildings rich with history.
And concrete flowers beneath my feet
Concrete flowers on the ground symbolize artificial beauty.
I have been wandering these streets, I've seen it all
The speaker has experienced diverse situations in the streets.
My feet are moving but I go backwards
The speaker feels stuck, moving backward despite forward physical movement.
Rewinding memories silence my words
Revisiting memories brings a temporary silence to the speaker's words.
I bit off more than I could chew
The speaker acknowledges taking on more challenges than manageable.
Pushing the limit is what I'm used to
Pushing boundaries has become a familiar practice for the speaker.
My feet are moving, but I go backwards
Despite movement, the speaker reflects on past experiences.
I carry memories on my shoulders
The speaker carries the weight of memories on their shoulders.
I'll pave the way for something new
Expressing a determination to create a path for something new.
Pushing the limit is what I used to do
Reflecting on the past habit of pushing one's limits.
When I start to see the colors in a different light
Anticipating a shift in perspective, seeing colors differently.
It will seem easier to clear my mind
Expecting that a new viewpoint will make it easier to clear the mind.
So, I can finally see what is real again
Hoping to perceive reality more clearly.
Now the raindrops fall on the floor
Raindrops falling symbolize a cleansing or renewal.
I've been waiting long for petrichor
Longing for the earthy scent after rain (petrichor).
Can't wait to see, it's bright and clear in the end
Excitement about a bright and clear future.
My feet are moving, but I go backwards
Despite movement, the speaker feels a regression in their journey.
Rewinding memories silence my words
Memories resurface, silencing the speaker's present words.
I bit off more than I could chew
Admitting to taking on challenges beyond their capacity.
Pushing the limit is what I'm used to
Continuing the habit of pushing personal limits.
My feet are moving, but I go backwards
Despite forward motion, the speaker reflects on the past.
I carry memories on my shoulders
The burden of memories is carried on the speaker's shoulders.
I'll pave the way for something new
Expressing a commitment to pave the way for something new.
Pushing the limit is what I used to do
Reflecting on the past inclination to push personal limits.
