Lyrics

Take our time working out our minds

Reflecting on the process of understanding our thoughts and emotions over time.

Hallowed words on the tongue

Words with special significance or reverence.

One slope dance that first takes your hand and then your head

Describing a dance or interaction where someone takes your hand and then your attention or focus.


(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

Repeating sounds, possibly indicating a transition or emphasis.

(Yeah)

-

Happiness and misery (Ah-ah-ah)

Contrasting happiness and misery, highlighting them as keys to simplicity, with a metaphor of a cigarette affecting empathy.

The ticket to simplicity (Ah-ah-ah)

-

A cigarette that burns the throat (Ah-ah-ah)

-

As empathy is turned to smoke (Ah-ah-ah)

-

We drift on a whim like a kite in a warm autumn breeze

Continuation of the drifting metaphor, portraying an effortless appearance while navigating life's challenges.

Making it look oh so easy

-

I know what I said

Acknowledging a previous statement or promise.

It never made sense to me

Expressing confusion or lack of understanding regarding a previous statement.


(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)

Reiteration of the contrast between happiness and misery, emphasizing their role as a ticket to simplicity and the impact on empathy, using the cigarette metaphor.

(Yeah)

-

Happiness and misery (Ah-ah-ah)

-

The ticket to simplicity (Ah-ah-ah)

-

A cigarette that burns the throat (Ah-ah-ah)

-

As empathy is turned to smoke (Ah-ah-ah)a

Repeating the idea of empathy transforming into smoke, suggesting its intangibility or transient nature.
