Lyrics
This is my coat of armour
This coat symbolizes protection and defense.
This is my full defense
It represents a complete safeguard.
This is my pride and ego
Refers to one's pride and self-importance.
Stripped down and innocent
Suggests vulnerability and purity, devoid of defenses.
I drove a thousand miles
Travelled extensively, likely seeking resolution.
Cause you picked up the phone
Receptive to communication, possibly from someone significant.
And I just want you to know
Expressing a desire for acknowledgment.
That I'm not here to chase you
Not pursuing actively, only seeking conversation.
I'm just here to talk
Emphasizes a need for dialogue.
I was on the pavement
Metaphorically placed in a dangerous situation.
In between the chalk
Describes a precarious scenario.
You say the words so easy
Communication seems effortless for the other person.
But I don't think you know
Perceived lack of understanding of personal experiences.
The places that my mind's been
Refers to the complexities of the mind.
The places that I go
Emphasizes personal mental journeys and struggles.
So what do you want from me
Inquiry about the other person's intentions or desires.
What do you want from me
Repeated inquiry, seeking clarification.
I'm not who I used to be
Expresses personal transformation.
So tread carefully
Advises caution in dealing with the transformed self.
Tread carfully
Reiteration of caution.
Is this your soul's redemption
Asking about the other person's spiritual healing or absolution.
Is this your wicked game
Speculation about the other person's manipulative intentions.
Am I the photo that you
Am I the memory or representation you keep?
Keep inside this broken frame
Referencing being preserved within a damaged scenario.
I put my world inside you
Invested deeply in the other person, who left.
And you just walked away
Despite abandonment, acknowledgment of a cycle.
But at the end of the day
Stating intentions to communicate, not argue.
That I'm not here to argue
Clarifies the purpose of engagement.
I'm just here to talk
Similar to line 10, depicting a dangerous situation.
I was on the pavement
Reflects a precarious scenario.
In between the chalk
Reiteration of vulnerability.
You say the words so easy
Emphasizes the apparent ease in the other's communication.
But I don't think you know
Perceived lack of understanding of personal experiences (similar to line 13).
The places that my mind's been
Reiterates the complexities of the mind (similar to line 14).
The places that I go
Highlighting personal mental journeys and struggles (similar to line 15).
So what do you want from me
Repetition of the query regarding the other person's intentions or desires.
What do you want from me
Reiteration of the inquiry seeking clarification.
I'm not who I used to be
Restates personal transformation.
So tread carefully
Re-emphasizes caution in dealing with the transformed self.
Tread carfully
Reiteration of caution.
