Lyrics


It doesn't take a lot to confuse me

Lack of awareness regarding the passage of time.

I'm not aware of the passing of time

Addressing those who criticize or accuse the speaker.

And I'd like to say to those who accuse me

Challenge for accusers to confront the speaker face-to-face.

Could you do it while you looked in my eye

Request for accusers to perform the accused action while making eye contact.


If you hold on primitive notion

Suggesting the option to embrace a basic, instinctive idea or belief.

And if you think you'd like to try

Encouraging others to try the primitive notion.

You can drink this magic potion

Reference to a magical solution or experience.

And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die

Promoting the continuation of the primitive notion until death.


I've done it before and I'll do it again

Expressing a willingness to repeat a certain experience.

Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end

Describing a life filled with intensity or passion until the end.

How can it be that we're so far apart

Expressing confusion about a significant distance in a relationship.

I want it to feel like it did at the start

Desire for a relationship to recapture the initial feelings.


I'm doing my best to confound you

Attempting to baffle or perplex someone.

Your behaviour is so volatile

Commenting on someone's unpredictable behavior.

Not even a zoo would impound you

Comparing someone's behavior to being uncontrollable, even by a zoo.

Don't look at me with your criticle smile

Rejecting criticism with a plea not to judge with a critical smile.


Well I've been driving in the wrong gear

Metaphor for being on the wrong path or in an undesirable situation.

It's been a long and lonely ride

Describing a prolonged and isolating journey.

It's been winter for a whole year

Metaphor for a difficult and unchanging period.

But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

Asserting resilience against potential harm.


I've done it before and I'll do it again

(Repetition of line #12)

Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end

(Repetition of line #13)

How can it be that we're so far apart

(Repetition of line #14)

I want it to be like it was at the start

(Repetition of line #15)


I've done it before and I'll do it again

(Repetition of line #12)

Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end

(Repetition of line #13)

How can it be that we're so far apart

(Repetition of line #14)

I want it to feel like it did at the start

(Repetition of line #15)


I've got a message that I need to send

Conveying a message from a friend to the recipient.

It's coming to you straight from a friend

Direct communication of a heartfelt message.

I wanted to see what's inside my heart

Expressing a desire to explore one's innermost feelings.

I wanted to be like it was in the start

Aspiration for a return to the initial state of a relationship.
