Lyrics

Look a little closer

Encouraging a closer examination of a situation or person.

And it’s easy to see

Highlighting that upon closer inspection, things become evident.


The stink-eye you’re throwing around

Describing a disdainful look being given freely, as if it's a celebration.

Like its confetti

Comparing the disdainful looks to confetti, suggesting abundance.


Postcards from your ego

Criticizing someone for sending arrogant messages without self-awareness.

You don’t know what you don’t know

-

Postcards from your ego

-

(You don't know, you don't know)

-

I’m gonna wash my hands

Expressing a desire to disassociate and forget a negative experience.

Wash my hands of this

-

(Pretend like it never happened)

-

Just who are you trying to convince

Raising skepticism about someone's attempt to convince others.

(Pretend like it never mattered)

-

Wash my hands

Reiterating the intention to distance oneself from a negative situation.

Wash my hands of this

-

This

-

Graffiti on a toilet wall

Describing communication breakdowns and conflicts.

We’re just your collateral damage

-

Talk in a different language

-

When we speak

-

Forever chasing lost causes

Reflecting on the perpetual pursuit of unattainable or futile goals.

Like runaway horses

-

Forever chasing lost causes

Continuing the theme of chasing impractical or impossible objectives.

Like runaway horses

-

On a beach

-

Forever chasing lost causes

Emphasizing the endless pursuit of lost causes, akin to runaway horses.

Like runaway horses

-

On a beach

-

Forever chasing lost causes

Repeating the idea of chasing after futile endeavors like runaway horses.

Like runaway horses

-

I’m gonna wash my hands

Repeating the desire to distance oneself from a regrettable experience.

Wash my hands of this

-

(Pretend like it never happened)

-

I’m gonna wash my hands

-

Wash my hands of this

-

(Pretend like it never happened)

-

I’m gonna wash my hands

-

Wash my hands of this

-

(Pretend like it never happened)

-

I’m gonna wash my hands

-

Wash my hands of this

-

(Pretend like it never happened)

-

Graffiti on a toilet wall

Reiterating being treated as collateral damage in a negative situation.

We’re just your collateral damage

-

Talk in a different language
