I'll Get Back to You
Journey Through Shadows: Liquid Mike's Escape
Lyrics
The sun came out but the world looked black
The sun is shining, but the speaker perceives the world negatively.
I was hungover and my eyes were cracked
The speaker is experiencing the effects of a hangover, evident in tired and cracked eyes.
So I crawled inside of a burlap sack
Metaphorically, the speaker retreats into a burlap sack, possibly indicating a desire for seclusion or escape.
My phone rang up and the number looked strange
A call comes in with an unfamiliar number, introducing an unexpected element.
Should not have answered but I did anyway
Despite reservations, the speaker answers the call.
Spectrum high speed internet at discount rates if
Reference to a sales pitch for Spectrum high-speed internet with discount rates.
I switch today
The pitch prompts a decision to switch internet providers.
I said I'm busy I'll get back to you
The speaker deflects the call, claiming busyness and intending to respond later.
Maybe in a month or two
Delaying the response, suggesting a busy schedule.
But I swear to you I'll get back to you
An assurance that despite delays, the speaker will eventually respond.
But no was an answer that he could not take
The caller struggles with rejection, unable to accept a negative response.
And hanging up was just a bit cliche
Hanging up is seen as a common and expected reaction to rejection.
I faked my own death just to get away
Extreme action (faking own death) taken to avoid further contact or pressure.
I gotta say
A reflection on the drastic steps taken.
I said I'm busy I'll get back to you
Reiteration of busyness and commitment to respond later.
Maybe in a month or two
Repetition of the intention to respond after a delay.
I swear to you I'll get back to you
Restating the commitment to eventually get back to the caller.
Believe me I'm gonna call you back
An earnest promise to return the call despite challenges.
If it kills me if you believe in that
Expressing the commitment even if it has detrimental effects, like a heart attack.
But your gonna give me a heart attack
An acknowledgment of the potential negative impact of delaying the response.
Or a stomach bug
Highlighting the stress or discomfort associated with the situation.
If we're gonna make this work
Suggesting a need for collaboration to make the relationship or situation work.
Let's pick a date that works
Practical advice to choose a suitable date for communication.
Like April 31st
Humorous reference to an imaginary date (April 31st), indicating the speaker's skepticism or reluctance.
You can Sign me up for sure
A playful sign-up for the imaginary date, injecting humor into the situation.
