Lyrics
The tv is playing
The television is currently turned on.
the light is still on
The light is still illuminated.
Your cigarette burns a black hole in the dawn
Your cigarette creates a dark mark in the early morning.
2 am still having fun
It's 2 am, and the speaker is still enjoying themselves.
And there's some comfort in sitting on the coach
Finding solace in sitting on the couch.
Watching some tv show that everybody knows about
Watching a well-known TV show.
Just so you got something to talk about
Having something to discuss with others.
Now I've been looking for composure
The speaker is searching for composure.
Trying to subdue the pain
Attempting to suppress emotional pain.
Try to understand the feeling
Struggling to comprehend the emotions.
But I'll love myself either way
Despite challenges, the speaker will love themselves.
But no one seems to remember what my name is
Frustration at not being remembered.
Nothing ever happens
Expressing a sense of monotony and inactivity.
Around here
Emphasizing the lack of events or changes.
And there's some truth in telling lies
There's some truth in deceptive statements.
But I can't even seem to say goodbye
Difficulty in saying farewell despite acknowledging the truth.
Around here
Reiteration of the uneventful nature of the surroundings.
She's looking pretty in her red dress
Describing someone as attractive in a bold red dress.
It's kind of slutty but she likes it
Acknowledging the provocative nature of the dress.
Nobody knows where her mind's at
Uncertainty about the person's thoughts or feelings.
Trying to self medicate to get the fun in life back
Attempting to find pleasure in life through self-medication.
It's the past taking control
The influence of the past taking over.
When the river finally takes us all
An ominous reference to an inevitable end by the river.
But she never thought she'd get this far
Surprise at reaching a point not previously anticipated.
So I've been looking for composure
Continued search for composure amid challenges.
Trying to enjoy the pain
Seeking enjoyment even in painful experiences.
Try to understand the feeling
Struggling to understand complex emotions.
Will this ever go away
Doubt about the persistence of the emotional turmoil.
Nothing ever happens
Reiteration of the lack of significant events.
Around here
Emphasizing the mundane nature of the surroundings.
And there's some truth in telling lies
Repeating the theme of truth in deceptive statements.
But I can't even seem to say goodbye
Difficulty in parting ways despite acknowledging the reality.
Around here
Restating the uneventful atmosphere.
Nothing ever happens
Highlighting the lack of significant occurrences.
Around here
Reiteration of the dull environment.
And there's some truth in telling lies
Repeating the theme of truth in deceptive statements.
But I can't even seem to say goodbye
Struggling to bid farewell despite recognizing the truth.
Around here
Emphasizing the repetitively uneventful nature of the surroundings.
