Lyrics
My coat, leave behind my coat and my belt,
Expressing a desire to abandon personal possessions like a coat and belt.
Leave behind my coat and all that,
Reiterating the intention to leave behind the coat and everything associated with it.
I don't want it back...
Firmly stating the refusal to reclaim these belongings.
It's called undertown and it's over that way.
Referring to a place called "undertown," indicating a direction away from the current location.
Some people leave in the morning,
Describing how different people depart at various times.
Some people when they go to bed.
Highlighting the diverse habits of individuals leaving, whether in the morning or at night.
Inside, it's been rotting for a long time now,
Implies internal decay or deterioration that has persisted for a while.
Ever since I found out
Suggests that the decay began upon realizing a lack of culpability for being excluded.
I'm not to blame if I get left out.
Asserting that not being included in something is not the individual's fault.
My coat, leave behind the looks, magazines and books.
Expressing a desire to leave behind superficialities like appearances, media, and literature.
Don't want it back.
Reaffirming the decision not to retrieve these items.
We're going away, we're dropping the lot.
Planning to depart completely, abandoning everything.
We'll take another tack if we ever get stopped.
Willingness to change course if faced with an obstacle.
It's the last plan we made before we came unglued.
Indicating this departure plan was the final coherent idea before experiencing a breakdown.
There's a lot of things to do
Reflecting on an extensive list of things to accomplish.
I can't do in my room
Expressing limitations on what can be done within confined spaces.
I can't get out too soon
Feeling a strong urgency to escape confinement or limitation.
