The Rat
Echoes of Isolation: The Struggle and Longing in Okey Dokey's 'The Rat'
Lyrics
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You are audacious to request a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
You are audacious to call my phone
I know we've been through this before
We have experienced this situation previously
Can't you hear me? I'm calling out your name
I'm trying to get your attention by calling your name
Can't you see me? I'm pounding on your door
I'm attempting to reach you by knocking on your door
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You have the audacity to seek a favor again
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
You have the audacity to dial my number
Can't you hear me? I'm bleeding on the wall
I'm in a vulnerable state, and you should notice
Can't you see me? I'm pounding on your door
I'm desperately seeking your attention by knocking on your door
Can't you hear me when I'm calling out your name?
I'm calling your name, and I hope you hear me
When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw
In the past, when I went out, I recognized everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
Now, I prefer solitude when I go out, if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
In the past, I knew everyone I encountered when going out
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
Now, I choose to be alone when I decide to go out
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Reflecting on a time when social connections were more prevalent
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
Currently, I opt for solitude when venturing out, if at all
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You boldly seek a favor from me once again
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
You audaciously call my phone number
I'm sure we've been through this before
We have likely encountered this situation before
Can't you hear me? I'm beating on your wall
I'm making a loud and persistent attempt to get your attention by hitting your wall
Can't you see me? I'm pounding on your door
I'm urgently knocking on your door, hoping you notice me
