Lyrics
Fire escape, black paint chippin'
Feeling disconnected or isolated; fire escape with peeling black paint symbolizes decay.
I can't help but feel I'm trippin'
Suspecting confusion or disorientation; a sense of instability.
The street below is wet with water
Observing the surroundings, possibly a rainy or melancholic scene.
Clothing soaked, but it's no bother
Personal discomfort, but expressing resilience or indifference.
What will I do, so far above you?
Contemplating a situation from a higher vantage point, feeling elevated.
Where will I go?
Uncertainty about the future, questioning one's next steps.
What did you say when you turned away?
Reflecting on a moment of rejection or turning away from a conversation.
I'll never know
Acceptance of the impossibility of knowing the exact words or reasons for rejection.
Girl on 7th, she'll never, ever learn
Introducing a character, possibly facing challenges in relationships.
That Eddie will leave before she turns ten
Anticipating an impending departure before a significant event.
And until then
Continuation of the storyline, emphasizing the waiting period until the event.
She sits above them
Positioning the character in an elevated position, metaphorically distancing from others.
What will I do, so far above you?
Repetition of the contemplation about being above others.
Where will I go?
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future and destination.
What did you say when you turned away?
Recalling a moment of turning away and the resulting ambiguity.
I'll never know
Reiterating the acceptance of not knowing the exact words or reasons.
What will I do, so far above you?
Continuing the contemplation about the elevated position and future actions.
Where will I go?
Repeating the uncertainty and questioning of the destination.
What did you say when you turned away?
Revisiting the moment of turning away and the resulting lack of clarity.
I'll never know (I'll never know)
Reaffirming the acceptance of not knowing the exact words or reasons (with emphasis).
So far, so far above you (on my fire escape)
Expressing a significant physical and emotional distance from others.
So far above you (I don't know what to do)
Reiteration of the emotional confusion and a sense of helplessness.
So far, so far above you
Emphasizing the continued emotional and physical distance from others.
So fire escape
Reiteration of the symbolic "fire escape," suggesting ongoing isolation or separation.
