Lyrics
Scars that stretch past elbows
Refers to visible scars on the body that extend past the elbows.
Too opaque to be called paint
Describing scars as not transparent enough to be considered paint.
They now are little jots
The scars are now small marks or dots.
And memoirs
These marks serve as memories.
Rings in the limb that relive days spent
Refers to rings on the limb, possibly scars or marks, recalling past experiences.
High enough to be relaxed as
Being at a high enough state to feel relaxed despite corruption affecting life.
Corruption wrecks my life
Corruption negatively impacts the speaker's life.
And now you be my ride
Someone is invited to be a companion or support in the speaker's journey.
Through lips of liberty
Passing through a phase of freedom or liberation.
The youth shall tale the deeds of suicide
Suggesting that the actions of the youth will be remembered as if they were tales of suicide.
Build an elevator through the sky
Expresses the idea of creating a path to escape challenges, using an elevator metaphorically.
The name is suicide
The plan involves embracing or identifying with the concept of suicide.
And the elevator was the plan
Reiterating that the elevator represents the escape plan related to suicide.
Didn't know for real where it would go
Uncertainty about the destination of the metaphorical elevator.
Got on, pushed the button in
The speaker boards the elevator, pressing the button for "home."
And said home
Despite the uncertainty, the destination is claimed as "home."
I'm your creator elevator
The speaker identifies as the creator of the metaphorical elevator.
And you owe me big for this
Claiming acknowledgment or gratitude for creating the escape route.
I'm the one, lift me out of here
Requesting assistance to be lifted out of the current situation to a different place.
To some place with a difference
Desiring a change or escape to a place with a noticeable difference.
Corruption wrecks my life
Reiteration of corruption negatively impacting the speaker's life.
And now you be my ride
A repeated request for someone to be a companion or support.
Through lips of liberty
Revisiting the phase of freedom or liberation through spoken words.
Tomorrow shall tale the deeds of suicide
Suggesting that future times will recall the actions as if they were tales of suicide.
Build an elevator through the sky
Reiteration of the idea of creating an escape path through an elevator.
The name is suicide
Re-emphasizing the connection between the speaker's name and the concept of suicide.
And the elevator was the plan
Reaffirming that the escape plan involves the metaphorical elevator.
And If your bags look
If the speaker's belongings appear unchanged, it may not be surprising.
The same as they did before
Regardless of the external appearance, the speaker questions if it matters.
Oh well, is it any wonder
Expressing a sense of indifference or resignation about the external appearance.
