Gummo, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Freaks
Journey Through Time: A Melodic Odyssey of Urban Mysteries
Lyrics
Take out the storms and you've got a different place
Removing difficulties transforms the environment.
Something sits right with you here
There's a positive feeling or connection in this place.
An antique mall; it's dropping your jaw
An antique mall is impressive, leaving one in awe.
Like the courthouse my grandpa built
Similar to the courthouse his grandpa constructed, suggesting a sense of legacy.
The guy with the funny hat gave them a hug
A person with a distinctive hat expressed affection with a hug.
And said "I love you so much"
Expressing love profoundly.
These buildings have been in place for thousands of years
Buildings with a long history, possibly reflecting on the passage of time.
All the factories that I have seen
Observing various factories, possibly symbolic of industrial landscapes.
And one day, we will finally get away
Anticipation of a future escape from current circumstances.
So you can start thinking 'bout things
Encouraging contemplation about one's life.
Like, "where am I going to rest my head,
Concerns about finding a place to rest.
when all the beds; they have been taken?"
All beds are occupied, presenting a challenge.
The man at the counter, he couldn't do much
The person at the counter couldn't offer much assistance.
Told us there was warnings in other cities
Warnings in other cities mentioned by the counter attendant.
A van came and picked us up, we saw the fireworks
Witnessing a mix of fireworks and car crashes, creating a vivid scene.
And car crashes, what a scene
Observation of an unusual and chaotic spectacle.
And we walked across the bridge
A journey across a bridge is taken.
And we slept until the rain awoke
Sleeping until rain interrupts the rest.
Five hour drive from mountain to city
A long drive from the mountains to the city is described.
Hope the sleepless don't act so gritty
Hoping those without sleep act less harshly.
Well, my friend; he wondered, "will there still be light
Questioning whether light reaches from downtown to their location.
coming all the way from downtown?"
Pondering the presence of light in their surroundings.
I looked at him and I said, "if it can't be a dream,
Considering reality versus a dream-like state.
and if we're not fully dead"
Contemplating existence and the possibility of being alive.
The freeway is empty at this time of day
An empty freeway scene at a particular time of day is noted.
Clark Griswold must be here to stay
Reference to Clark Griswold, implying a lasting presence.
As we walked across the bridge
Repeating the experience of walking across a bridge.
And we slept until the rain awoke
Sleeping until rain disrupts the peace again.
And we walked across the bridge
Repeating the experience of walking across a bridge.
And we slept until the rain awoke
Sleeping until rain disrupts the peace again.
Dear sweet people, we miss you so much
Expressing a strong yearning for absent individuals.
Is it me or is it the bites from their bugs
Wondering if sleeplessness is caused by bug bites.
That keep me awake for hours on end
Struggling with insomnia due to bug bites.
Just close your eyes, and you'll be taken
Encouraging others to close their eyes for solace.
Back to the place where your love began
Reflecting on the place where love originated.
In the waiting room with unknown friends
Being in a waiting room with unknown friends is acknowledged.
And we walked across the bridge
Repeating the experience of walking across a bridge.
And we slept until the rain awoke
Sleeping until rain disrupts the peace again.
