Lyrics

I pass the light that the young people make

I observe the light created by young people

How joyfully it's wasted

Expressing the joyful but wasteful nature of that light

I feel the weight of the needle's repeat and sigh

Feeling the heaviness of repetitive actions, possibly related to drug use, with a sigh

Sang my weight in metric trash

Sang about my experiences in a metric trash (perhaps referring to a past filled with meaningless actions)

Trip the light in Saturn's embrace

Experiencing a carefree moment in the embrace of Saturn's light

You'll give up some local girl while our lights

Others may betray a local girl while our lights overshadow her face

Our lights blot out her face

Our lights obscure the identity of a local girl


All of you lie about some day (You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)

Repetition emphasizes the theme of people dishonestly claiming they will do something someday, being on a first-name basis with deception

You're on a first-name basis

-

All of you lie about some day (You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)

-

You're on a first-name basis

-

All of you lie about some day (You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)

-

You're on a first-name basis

-

All of you lie about some day (You know you do, all of you, shame on you, all of you lie)

-

You're on a first-name basis

-

God damn the time

An expression of frustration or anger towards time

God damn the miles

An expression of frustration or resentment towards distance

And take me away from you

Desire to be taken away from the current situation or relationship

And change your face

A plea for a change in appearance or behavior


And change the way I love you

Expressing a desire for a fundamental change in the way love is experienced

And change the way I love you

-

And change the way I loved you

-

And change the way I loved you

Reflecting on past ways of loving and a desire for transformation
