Perfect Teeth
Nostalgic Echoes: Unveiling the Journey of Perfect Teeth
Lyrics
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
Someday, there's a worry I'll be saved from monotony
With lack of memory, I fail to question why
Due to forgetfulness, I don't challenge the situation
With perfect sound, you bring me down, hey I'm not listening
You bring me down with flawless arguments, but I'm not paying attention
You're through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
You're no longer affecting me with your facts and therapy sessions at night
Like "Paul's Boutique" on empty streets parked and
Referencing the album "Paul's Boutique," feeling isolated in an empty place
Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
Waiting for something positive to happen, relying on luck
And drunk on your parents' favorite wine
Intoxicated on wine that belongs to your parents
All the things I remember
Questioning the value of the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Wondering if those memories were worth documenting
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
Desiring to be surrounded by memories related to a specific time and fashion (CK1 and tight white T-shirts)
Like air guitar, in muscle cars with perfect teeth
Comparing memories to playing an air guitar in flashy cars with perfect smiles
The way we are
(No specific content in this line)
Back in '95, more deaf than alive
Reflecting on a time in 1995 when feeling disconnected from life
I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction
Creating a script or story due to a lack of clear purpose or goals
Late night movie dates with girls who skate and I just can't relate
Unrelatable experiences with girls who skate, feeling out of place
I'm through with school 'cause I broke the rules
Disenchanted with education after breaking rules, now working for someone else
Now I work for the man and I'm drunk once again
Working and drinking excessively, finding solace in watching TV reruns
Watching reruns of Night Court on cable TV
Specifically watching "Night Court" reruns on cable television
All the things I remember
Reiterating the questioning of the value of remembered experiences
Were they worth writing down
Asking again if the memories are worth recording
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
Desiring immersion in memories linked to specific scents and fashion from the past
Like air guitar, in muscle cars with "perfect teeth"
Comparing memories to playing an air guitar in flashy cars with perfect smiles
The way we are
(No specific content in this line)
(Wake up) Thought that everybody loved me
Realizing a misconception that everyone loves and cares
(Wake up) Thought that everybody cared
Recognizing the fallacy of believing in widespread care and affection
(Wake up) Thought that I might have the strength to carry on
Feeling like there was strength to continue, but it's lacking
(Wake up) Turns out that I'm barely, barely holding on
Realizing a struggle to keep going, barely holding on
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time
Acknowledging that a considerable amount of time has passed
I, I, I don't miss last November
Not missing a particular time period (last November)
Alright, yeah it's time for a high-five
Expressing readiness for a congratulatory gesture (high-five)
Hey, hey, hey it's been quite a long time
Reiterating that a significant amount of time has elapsed
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
Repeating the fear of being saved from boredom
With lack of memory I fail to question why
Due to forgetfulness, failing to question why
Why?
Reiterating the question 'why?'
