Wet Cement
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Wet Cement'
Lyrics
You work hard to revise it
You put in effort to make improvements or corrections.
The closer they are the harder they hit
The closer things are, the more impactful they can be.
Another great idea, yeah
Expressing enthusiasm for another creative idea.
You're putting your foot down firmly in wet cement
Committing to a decision, metaphorically described as putting your foot down in wet cement.
So now your skin's disappearing
Your identity or essence is fading or changing.
It's thinner and weakened
Your resilience is diminishing, and you are becoming more vulnerable.
And it could take about a thousand years just to leave the parking lot
The process of change is slow, perhaps feeling like it takes a very long time.
I don't wanna waste my day alone
Expressing a desire not to spend the day alone.
Like a hermit in a snow storm
Feeling isolated and uncomfortable, akin to a hermit in a snowstorm.
I don't want to feel this way for long
Expressing a wish to overcome negative feelings quickly.
The fear is exciting and i cant wait to be bored
Finding excitement in fear and anticipation of being bored.
I'm taking it lightly, but don't you want to cut your hair when you catch a glimpse of it?
Taking a lighthearted approach, suggesting a desire for change such as cutting hair when dissatisfied.
I'm acting politely, but honestly Im freaking out and I cant hold out for long
Acting politely despite inner anxiety, unable to hold out for long.
Change is gonna come like it always will
Expressing a belief in the inevitability of change.
Prop it on up on a windowsill
Suggesting a casual placement of something, perhaps a metaphor for adapting to change.
'Cause it can take about a thousand years just to leave the parking lot
Reiterating the slow pace of change and its challenges.
I don't wanna waste my day alone
Reiterating a desire to avoid spending the day alone.
Like a hermit in a snow storm
Reinforcing the feeling of isolation, using the metaphor of a hermit in a snowstorm.
I don't want to feel this way for long
Repeating the desire to overcome negative feelings quickly.
The fear is exciting and i cant wait to be bored
Finding excitement in the anticipation of boredom.
