Addio
Embracing Endings: Mexico City Blondes' 'Addio' Unveils Life's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
Take the gloves off my friend
Encouragement to confront a situation or person directly and honestly.
in the end it’ll all go down easy
Assurance that despite challenges, things will eventually be resolved or accepted smoothly.
All day just tryin’ to put it down
Spending the entire day attempting to handle or resolve something.
it’s got its arms around you just can’t shake that feeling
Feeling trapped or controlled by an emotion or circumstance.
You’ve been emptying your pockets making room for bottle rockets
Preparing for something exciting or explosive, possibly through substance use.
Underwriting all your big dreams I know you would have given everything
Supporting ambitious aspirations despite knowing they may not succeed.
Days upon days looking over my shoulder
Constantly feeling wary or anxious about potential threats or problems.
Days upon days don’t let it pull you under
Advising not to succumb to pressures or difficulties.
Days upon days now i’ve got time to wonder
Reflecting on time available for introspection or contemplation.
Days upon days of endless golden summers to say goodbye
Recalling past periods of carefree and happy times now ending.
Things just seem so retrograde
Expressing frustration with things regressing or not progressing.
like they’ll never change I think we’ve hit the ceiling
Suggesting a feeling of stagnation or reaching a limit in progress.
Sundown won’t take it all away
Asserting that the passing of time won't resolve problems.
it’s just another day and you don’t even mean it
Disregard for insincere or meaningless actions or words.
You’ve been filling up your pockets all your money couldn’t stop it
Attempting to cope with a situation despite lacking resources or ability to control it.
Betting high on pretty play things they can’t save you in the end it seems
Engaging in risky or superficial pursuits that offer no real solution.
Days upon days looking over my shoulder
Continuing anxiety or vigilance about potential threats or issues.
Days upon days don’t let it pull you under
Advising to resist being overwhelmed by challenges.
Days upon days now i’ve got time to wonder
Having time to reflect on life or circumstances due to a change in situation.
Days upon days of endless golden summers to say goodbye
Reflecting on a prolonged period of enjoyable times now coming to an end.
