Life's Rush: Unveiling the Depths of Livingmore's 'Neighbors'
Lyrics
Some people rush their whole lives
Some individuals hurry through their entire lives.
Their graves get closer each time
The proximity to their graves increases with each passing moment.
So I'll observe when I like
The speaker chooses to observe life at their own pace.
Take in the mundane kind
They appreciate and absorb the ordinary aspects of life.
In the afternoon
This line sets the scene, possibly referring to a specific time of day.
She knocks three times at two
Someone, likely she, knocks three times at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Some act like everything fine
Some individuals pretend that everything is fine in their lives.
Hear loneliness in their byes
Loneliness is evident in their goodbyes.
And while the rich try to die
While the wealthy may seek an end, others strive for survival.
The rest try to survive
A contrast between the rich and the rest, emphasizing different struggles.
In the afternoon
Reiteration of the specific time in the afternoon and the knocking.
She knocks three times at two
Continuation of the scenario introduced in lines 5 and 6.
And he parks his car on cue
Introduction of another character, parking their car as if on cue.
He'll never wave back to you
This person seems indifferent and unresponsive, not waving back.
You can't escape what you tore apart
A reflection on the inability to escape the consequences of one's actions.
Its on display what you tore apart
The aftermath of tearing something apart is now visible to everyone.
Some people rush their whole lives
Repetition of the idea of some people rushing through life.
Their graves get closer each time
Reiteration of the inevitability of approaching graves for those rushing.
In the afternoon
A return to the specific time in the afternoon and the knocking pattern.
She knocks three times at two
Revisiting the scenario with the knocking at 2 o'clock.
And he parks his car on cue
Recurrence of the character parking their car, still unresponsive.
He'll never wave back to you
Emphasis on the person's lack of acknowledgment or connection.
Back to you
A direct reference to returning or reverting back to someone.
Back to you
Reiteration of returning to the person mentioned in line 22.
