Alone in 151: A Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
I was made to walk alone
I feel destined to navigate life alone.
Twist myself so I can keep you on
I contort myself to maintain your interest.
I'm a family man but I'm difficult
Despite being committed to family, I am a challenging individual.
I like you in my way.
I appreciate you in my unique way.
And when you kiss your other men
When you kiss others, I pity them because they are second best.
Really it's me that pities them
Those individuals are inferior, and I empathize with them.
They're second best and then
They are the second choice before you send them away.
You send them on their way.
After the encounter, you dismiss them.
Getting back to 151
Returning to the place associated with '151.'
If I sit quiet will you take me on
Will you notice me if I stay quiet?
Let the night's we spend there just drag on and on (and on and on)
Extended nights there seem never-ending.
Ocean eyes you're the one
Your eyes, like an ocean, captivate me.
Leave part of me with you when I'm done.
Leaving a part of myself with you after our interaction.
I have dreams but I keep them real
I have aspirations, but I keep them grounded.
Knock on the door but then I turn my heel
Though opportunities arise, I choose self-preservation.
Self preservation of the heart you steal
You steal the heart's self-preservation until I'm emotionally numb.
Until I'm mummified
My emotional state becomes preserved like a mummy.
Cut my hair but I still feel the same
External changes don't alter my internal feelings.
I can't play your little word games
I won't engage in trivial mind games.
But I can laugh at all the things you say
I can find humor in your words to cope.
Until you're satisfied
I will keep laughing until you are content.
I'm getting back to 151
Returning to the place associated with '151.'
If I sit quiet will you take me on
Will my silence capture your attention?
Let the nights we spend there just drag on and on
Nights spent there seem to linger endlessly.
And on and on
Continuing endlessly.
Ocean eyes you're the one
Your eyes, like an ocean, are captivating.
Leave part of me with you when I'm gone
Leaving a part of myself with you after I'm gone.
This house is full of strangers
This environment is filled with unfamiliar faces.
And half of them are dead
Half of them are no longer alive.
Half of them are ghosts that live inside my head.
Ghosts from the past reside in my thoughts.
These streets are full of dangers
The streets are hazardous.
And half of them pretend
Some dangers are not real but are pretending.
Live in fear of dying you're already dead
Living in constant fear, even though they are already emotionally dead.
I'm getting back to 151
Returning to the place associated with '151.'
If I sit quiet will you take me on
Will you notice me if I remain silent?
Let the nights we spend there just drag on and on
Nights spent there seem to drag on without end.
And on and on
Continuing endlessly.
Ocean eyes you're the one
Your eyes, like an ocean, are captivating.
Leave part of me with you when I'm gone
Leaving a part of myself with you after I'm gone.
