Lyrics
Somebody like you can see me centerfold
Someone like you sees me as the centerfold, a prominent figure.
Throwing a breaststroke up and down the pool
Using a breaststroke metaphorically while moving through life's challenges.
Make it known as you dry your hair alone
Noticing actions as you dry your hair alone, suggesting introspection.
You think that I don't see what's going on
Awareness of hidden actions, possibly deceit, not going unnoticed.
Now your passing back the forty
Returning a symbolic drink, perhaps indicating a change or rejection.
You knocked my tooth out at the bar
A physical altercation at a bar resulting in a lost tooth.
The stretched elastic in your braces
Describing dental features and their limitations.
Never got your underbite to far
An underbite not progressing too far, symbolizing controlled situations.
Blow the top off now your extending my belief
Elevating beliefs or expectations, possibly sarcastically.
Like that was ever out of reach
Challenging the notion that something was ever unattainable.
What's it mean to you that I was holding all along
Possessing something valuable without acknowledgment.
Like you care your far to gone
Dismissive attitude, indicating someone is too far gone to care.
Oh there you go running past the rodeo
Moving past challenges or events nonchalantly.
I see you crack a smile
Noticing a genuine smile amid the chaos.
Oh how fast can you talk
Questioning the speed of communication.
Till we can laugh it off
Enduring challenges until they can be humorously dismissed.
Here it goes again
A recurring situation or cycle.
(Those electronic drum hits like in never gonna give you up or guilty consciousness 070 shake)
Reference to electronic drum hits, possibly evoking nostalgia.
Stuck in the middle of something otherwise
Feeling trapped in a situation with no apparent resolution.
I guess I'll turn to flip this time
Considering a different perspective or approach this time.
Peer back through the peeling Impala
Reflecting on past experiences, perhaps with a vintage car (Impala).
Ask how fucked am I
Questioning the severity of a situation.
Stuck in the middle of something
Repeating the feeling of being stuck in a challenging scenario.
Laugh like it's for real this time
Laughing as if the situation is genuinely humorous this time.
Blame it all on the old man's practice
Attributing blame to the practice or teachings of an older person.
And scream before you cry
Expressing emotions loudly before succumbing to tears.
(Bridge-moment of deepest reflection and most truth)
Identifying a moment of deep reflection and truth in the bridge.
Then you step outside
Exiting a reflective state and facing reality.
Waiting for the pale blue sight of mourning
Anticipating the sight of a new day.
And know you kept your faith intact
Maintaining faith despite challenges.
Oh sure
A sarcastic acknowledgment of certainty.
You fall until it's over
Falling until a situation concludes or resolves.
Stuck in the middle of something otherwise
Reiterating a sense of being stuck in a challenging scenario.
I guess I'll turn to flip this time
Considering a different perspective or approach once again.
Peer back through the peeling Impala
Reflecting on past experiences, possibly with a vintage car (Impala).
Ask how fucked am I
Questioning the severity of a situation.
Stuck in the middle of something
Repeating the feeling of being stuck in a challenging scenario.
Laugh like it's for real this time
Laughing as if the situation is genuinely humorous this time.
Blame it all on the old man's practice
Attributing blame to the practice or teachings of an older person.
And scream before you cry
Expressing emotions loudly before succumbing to tears.
