Clean
Embracing Change: Discovering Self Amidst Doubt
Lyrics
I was eight got the wind knocked out of me
Reflecting on a childhood experience that left a deep impact
Bedford Drive could be anywhere
Feeling a sense of universality in experiences, regardless of location
Should have seen all the ones that doubted me
Recognition of those who lacked belief in the speaker's potential
Lining up right in my head
Mentally organizing thoughts and considerations
How can I keep my friends and family
Struggling to balance personal relationships with commitments
Holding on to a promise so small
Clutching onto a small promise or hope
When all I have is a worn out Apogee
Feeling limited by worn-out or outdated tools or technology
Hesitant like my dad was before
Approaching situations cautiously, akin to a parental figure
Clean, wrap yourself in your machines
Imperatively cleanse and protect oneself using technology
Closer than you’ve ever been
Being extremely close or intimate in a new way
You'll figure it out
Encouraging self-assurance in problem-solving
You’ll figure it out
Reiteration of self-assurance in resolving issues
Clean, wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person
Been this way since seventeen
Continuation of a particular state or condition since being 17
I’ll figure it out, still figuring out
Continued process of self-discovery and understanding
With the advent of social media
Reflection on the impact of social platforms on communication
You think we’d learn to talk better
Not learning to communicate effectively despite social media's prevalence
Less is more in the case of our honesty
Valuing minimalism when it comes to expressing honesty
Guess our lives can be measured
Realization that life can be quantified or measured in various ways
And just like that it’s the time of year again
Noticing the return of a particular time or season
Meeting up as the snow starts to fall
Gathering or meeting during the onset of snowfall
Talking numbers that make no sense to me
Discussing incomprehensible or difficult-to-understand figures or statistics
Should have listened at school after all
Regretting not paying attention in school
Clean, wrap yourself in your machines
Reiterating the imperative to cleanse or protect oneself using technology
Closer than you’ve ever been
Being extremely close or intimate in a new way (repeated)
You'll figure it out
Encouraging self-assurance in problem-solving (repeated)
You’ll figure it out
Reiteration of self-assurance in resolving issues (repeated)
Clean, wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person (repeated)
Been this way since seventeen
Continuation of a particular state or condition since being 17 (repeated)
I’ll figure it out, still figuring out
Continued process of self-discovery and understanding (repeated)
It’s alright to live a different live
Embracing the acceptance of living differently
And it’s alright to feel you’re left behind
Acceptance of feeling left behind
It’s not a waste of time
Acknowledgment that expressing oneself is not futile
To say whats on your mind
Encouragement to vocalize thoughts or feelings
Wrap yourself in your machines
Reiterating the imperative to cleanse or protect oneself using technology (repeated)
Wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person (repeated)
Wrap yourself in your machines
Reiterating the imperative to cleanse or protect oneself using technology (repeated)
Wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person (repeated)
Wrap yourself in your machines
Reiterating the imperative to cleanse or protect oneself using technology (repeated)
Wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person (repeated)
Wrap yourself in your machines
Reiterating the imperative to cleanse or protect oneself using technology (repeated)
Wash yourself all over me
Desire for a thorough cleansing or purification involving another person (repeated)
