Domino
Survival in the Streets: Unraveling the Domino Effect of Life's Tensions
Lyrics
Walking down the street
Expressing movement down a street.
I can feel the tension
Sensing a heightened atmosphere or stress.
Everybody on me
Feeling attention from everyone around.
Like I'm some kinda suspect
Perceived as a suspect, facing scrutiny.
It's gotten me to thinkin'
Reflecting on life as a form of survival.
Life's some kinda survival
Expressing skepticism, "Hell, that'll be the day" when love becomes a rival.
Hell, that'll be the day
Desire to escape or experience something extraordinary.
When love is my rival
Imagining traveling to the Himalayas, seeking a distraction (a little ruby).
Get me on a plane
Expressing the desire for change and adventure.
To the Himalayas
Symbolically searching for something precious.
I'll find a little ruby
Frustration with mundane or ordinary experiences.
To waste my time with and...
Embracing the idea of wasting time on something enjoyable.

The roof ain't level
Highlighting the determination to proceed regardless of obstacles.

Well, I'm shit outta luck today man
Expressing a streak of bad luck or misfortune.
Now I'm callin' in my favors
Seeking assistance or support from accumulated favors.
Seems that I can't chew on whipped cream
Encountering unexpected challenges, using whipped cream as a metaphor.
Without me wakin' up some neighbor who'll...
Disturbing neighbors unintentionally.
Paint me a picture
Repetition of the desire for a challenging or dark picture.
And make it the devil
Reiterating the devilish nature of the envisioned image.
We'll run down the hole if
Willingness to confront challenges, even if the situation is not ideal.

Emphasizing the determination to proceed despite obstacles.
