Where I Come From
Echoes of Regret: Lucid Smog Disorder's Tale of Broken Hearts
Lyrics
Forty-five days gone by nothing has changed
Expressing a sense of stagnation or lack of progress over 45 days.
I may be wrong but I'm not to blame
Denying responsibility but acknowledging a potential mistake.
Just another endearing regret
Referring to a regret that holds some endearing quality.
Fuelled by warm beer and cigarettes
Describing the regret being fueled by vices like warm beer and cigarettes.
Some may sink and some may float away
Highlighting the variability in outcomes for different individuals.
Starry nights are filled with misery
Connecting starry nights with a feeling of misery.
These scars are all I have to show
Presenting scars as evidence of past experiences.
They may not be as deep as yours but I still know
Comparing scars to convey shared pain and understanding.
Where I come from
Stating a self-awareness of one's origin or background.
Broken guitars and mended hearts
Linking broken guitars with emotional struggles.
Things are better still I'm falling apart
Contrasting improvement in things with personal deterioration.
Yet I'm picking gravel out of my knees
Describing physical aftermath (gravel in knees) of a fall.
I fell so hard I lost touch with reality
Expressing a deep fall leading to a detachment from reality.
As I think of all the choices I've made
Reflecting on the impact of past choices while acknowledging personal constancy.
They've changed a lot, yet I'm still the same
Noting a paradoxical situation of change without personal evolution.
Isn't this an unfortunate test
Labeling life as an unfortunate test that few have passed.
That few have passed and it's killed the rest
Implying that the test has caused harm or fatalities.
Some may sink and some may float away
Reiterating the variability in outcomes for different individuals.
Starry nights are filled with misery
Connecting starry nights with a feeling of misery (repeated).
These scars are all I have to show
Presenting scars as evidence of past experiences (repeated).
They may not be as deep as yours but I still know
Comparing scars to convey shared pain and understanding (repeated).
Where I come from
Reaffirming the awareness of one's origin or background (repeated).
