Lyrics
Why does it feel like
Expressing a sense of abandonment or neglect.
we've been left behind
Feeling left behind or overlooked.
livin' out the edge of our minds
Living on the edge of sanity or reason.
well, I'll buy the liquor
Offering to provide alcohol in a challenging situation.
if you text your man to score
Suggesting contacting someone to obtain drugs.
we spent our salad days behind locked doors
Recalling a youthful period spent in seclusion.
speaking so much, saying nothing again
Noticing a pattern of empty or meaningless conversation.
Why does it feel like
Repeating the feeling of being in a familiar, undesirable situation.
we've been here before?
Emphasizing a sense of déjà vu or repetition.
waking up in the same spot on the floor
Waking up in a recurring, possibly uncomfortable state.
go get the car
Encouraging action to leave the current place.
i'll keep the road beneath us
Taking responsibility for navigating the journey.
you don't need smokes
Declining the need for certain vices or dependencies.
I don't need jesus
Rejecting the need for spiritual guidance.
driving east till 6am
Describing a journey eastward until dawn.
we're never coming back from the desert again
Expressing an intention to avoid returning from a desolate place.
burn out your light
Encouraging the extinguishing of one's light or identity.
you were born free
Highlighting a belief in inherent freedom.
that's the way you're gonna die
Suggesting a destined, predetermined death.
burn out for me
Requesting the burning out of someone's light for the speaker's sake.
I always knew this would end terribly
Acknowledging an anticipation of a disastrous ending.
Last thing I heard in the morning that day
Recalling the last communication in the morning, involving a familiar phrase.
You were screaming something I used to say
Noting a previous statement echoed in a distressing situation.
What good's a climb if the rocks aren't slick?
Pondering the value of a challenging endeavor without difficulty.
What good's a candle if both ends aren't lit?
Questioning the purpose of a resource if not fully utilized.
If you're not chasing something,
Suggesting the importance of having a purpose or goal.
maybe you're just a target.
Positing the risk of being a passive target without ambition.
What good's a climb if the rocks aren't slick?
Reiterating the importance of challenges in a pursuit.
What good's a candle if both ends aren't lit?
Reiterating the question of resource value if not fully utilized.
burn out your light
Repeating the theme of extinguishing one's light.
you were born free
Reiterating the belief in innate freedom.
that's the way you're gonna die
Repeating the idea of a predetermined, destined death.
burn out for me
Repeating the request to burn out someone's light for the speaker.
I always knew this would end terribly
Reiterating the anticipation of a disastrous ending.
