Your Station
Tuning into Life's Melody: Noah Linker's 'Your Station' Meaning
Lyrics
Schools are always charging you up, up, up, up, up
Schools are constantly demanding more from you.
Fools are always fucking with the wrong guy
Foolish individuals are often causing trouble with the wrong person.
Tools are always screwing you up
Tools or negative influences can have a detrimental impact on you.
But when I get upset
The speaker mentions getting upset.
I'll just tune into your station
When upset, the speaker turns to a metaphorical "station" for solace or distraction.
Dogs are always barking up a storm
Dogs are constantly making noise or causing disturbances.
Frogs are always hop, hop, hop, hop, hopping
Frogs are consistently hopping around energetically.
Logs are always falling in the forest
Logs represent obstacles or challenges in life.
But those bulldozers roaring will never stop for nature
Despite natural obstacles, destructive forces like bulldozers continue unabated.
Saturday was so blissful
Saturday was a positive and enjoyable day for the speaker.
And Sunday could not have gone worse
Sunday, in contrast, was a negative or challenging day.
Monday meant so little
Monday held little significance for the speaker.
That Tuesday brought another curse
Tuesday brought another unfortunate event or circumstance.
Another curse for her
The reference to "her" suggests a specific person affected by these events.
'Cause when she takes her turn
When she takes her turn, the situation worsens.
He'll throw it in reverse
There is a negative response to her actions.
So hopefully there's no one going straight
An expression of hope that no one interferes or complicates matters further.
Babies are always being born at night
The birth of babies at night symbolizes the continuous cycle of life.
Candies are always keeping flavors bright
Candies represent small pleasures that add brightness to life.
Coyotes are always howling up a fight
Coyotes howling symbolizes confrontations or challenges.
But you never want to start a coyote fight
A warning against starting unnecessary conflicts.
Saturday was so blissful
Reiteration of the contrasting experiences of Saturday and Sunday.
And Sunday could not have gone worse
Continuation of the negative events on Sunday.
But Monday passed so little
Monday, like before, holds little significance.
And Tuesday brought another curse
Tuesday brings another unfortunate event or circumstance.
Another curse for her
Reiteration of the negative impact on "her."
'Cause when she takes her turn
Her actions lead to a reversal of the situation.
He'll throw it in reverse
A negative response to the reversal.
So hopefully there's no one going straight
Expression of hope that no one interferes or complicates matters further.
I hope that there is no one going straight
Repetition of the hope for an uninterrupted course of events.
Yeah, hopefully nobody's going straight
Emphasis on the desire for no disruptions or deviations.
I've got to leave at 5:32
The speaker has a specific time to leave, possibly indicating a sense of urgency.
Because there's nothing left to do
The speaker has nothing left to accomplish.
And if you've got nothing to do
Suggesting that if others have nothing to do, they should also leave.
Then maybe you should just leave now too
An extension of the suggestion to leave if one has no purpose.
You know man, they'd cut off all my hair
A personal experience of having one's hair cut off and being loaded with magazines may symbolize a loss of identity or freedom.
And load me up with magazines
Indication that the speaker can be controlled or manipulated by external forces.
If I just gave them the word
Surrendering to external influence or authority when given the word.
