Lyrics

Blacked out like the lines across your name

Feeling mentally blocked or unable to remember certain things, similar to how your name might be crossed out or forgotten.

Rewind all the tapes that I've been

Revisiting memories or events that have occurred.

Holding onto for too long

Clutching onto memories or emotions for an extended period, possibly longer than necessary.

Going nowhere for three summers strong

Being stuck or not progressing for three consecutive summers.


Can you tell me why

Asking for an explanation or reason.

I feel less alive now that I'm comfortable

Feeling less vibrant or alive when in a comfortable situation.


Than I was at the end of a rope

Implies feeling more alive or vital when under stress or pressure, compared to being comfortable.


And my best memories aren't far

The most cherished memories are not distant but are deeply hidden or suppressed.

They're mostly buried in my backyard

Memories that are significant or precious are metaphorically buried in one's personal space.


Has it been too long

Questioning if too much time has passed.

Summer nights

Recalling enjoyable experiences during summer nights.

Stumbling home

Returning home in a disoriented or stumbling state during summer nights.

Hard times I miss the most

Missing challenging or difficult times the most.


I keep trying

Continuously attempting to discover something meaningful.

To find something

Struggling to find something of significance.

Worth saying

To you

Afraid to let you know

The kinds of things

Referring to the depth or intensity of thoughts.

I've been thinking

Thinking deeply about certain things.

To keep me from sinking

Reflecting on thoughts to prevent oneself from emotional decline or despair.


And my best memories aren't far

Reiterating that cherished memories are not far away but hidden.

They're mostly buried in my backyard

Reaffirming the concept of significant memories being deeply concealed or suppressed.


Does it hurt to know

Asking about the pain or discomfort of realizing that emotions have become hardened or unresponsive.

Your bleeding heart has

Suggesting a transformation from a sensitive or emotional state to a cold or indifferent one.

Turned to stone

Feeling close to emotional detachment or numbness.

Sometimes I get so close

Expressing a nearness to a certain emotional state.


I keep trying

Continuously attempting to communicate something significant.

To find something

Struggling to find meaningful words or expressions.

Worth saying

Trying to articulate something important to a specific person.

To you

Addressing the same person again.


To you

Reiteration of the intended audience.
