Lyrics
Did you soil the sheets
Questioning if there's a mess in the bed where conscience resides
Where your conscience sleeps?
Suggesting a troubled conscience, perhaps due to past actions
There's a half-gallon of bleach
Referring to a container of bleach, potentially symbolizing cleansing or purification
Beneath the kitchen pipes
Positioning the bleach beneath the kitchen pipes, a specific location
Let's keep this brief
Suggesting brevity or conciseness in the conversation
I was about to leave and
Expressing the speaker's intention to leave
I didn't really want you to come by
Indicating a reluctance for the other person to visit
You can call it healing
Describing a form of coping, possibly sarcastically, as "healing"
But I just stopped from feeling
Admitting a numbness or avoidance of emotions
The parts of you I knew
Acknowledging certain aspects of the other person that felt incompatible
Would never feel right
Expressing a sense of discomfort or wrongness
And you don't need healing
Challenging the need for healing if there was no genuine care
If you never really cared
Stating indifference even if the other person never cared
I still don't care, it's whatever
Reiterating a lack of concern, emphasizing detachment
You were right
Acknowledging the correctness of the other person's perspective
I've got faith in failure I was
Expressing confidence in experiencing failure, as expected
Bound to get what I expected
Anticipating and accepting outcomes in line with expectations
I gave it up upfront to keep my pride
Sacrificing something upfront to maintain personal pride
And I've been slowly inching up my
Gradually returning to a challenging situation or emotional state
Back to this brick wall
Facing a metaphorical brick wall, a barrier or obstacle
Because I know it's not thick
Commenting on the perceived thinness of the obstacle
Enough to keep you behind if it was a movie
Imagining a cinematic scenario where the wall can't hold back the person
They would get the ending right
Speculating on a movie ending, suggesting a selective portrayal of life
And cleverly leave out all of
Anticipating the omission of significant life events
The rest of our lives and it would zoom out:
Describing a hypothetical movie ending and its focus
Chain-smoking blunts up in our house
Depicting a scene with smoking and indulgence in the speaker's dwelling
With junk food in our mouths
Highlighting a carefree lifestyle with specific imagery
The kind of sleepless dreams
Describing a type of dreams experienced during sleepless nights
That mark our evenings
Connecting dreams to defining moments in the speaker's life
Maybe I just missed it
Expressing a possible oversight or failure to understand something
I've been doing this forever and still
Reflecting on a long duration of doing something without clarity
Everywhere I go is somewhere I don't belong
Feeling out of place wherever the speaker goes
But, maybe that's just how it is
Contemplating that moving on might involve conforming to norms
That moving on means blending in
Suggesting that fitting in is a part of the process of moving on
And maybe now it's fair to say
Considering the possibility of past misunderstandings
That I had it all wrong
Admitting to a previous misconception or misjudgment
Yeah, I was wrong
Acknowledging a personal error or wrongdoing
Yeah, I was wrong about everything
Admitting to being wrong about various aspects of life
I was wrong about everything
Concluding the acknowledgment of being wrong about everything
