Lyrics
You weren't in the picture
You were not a part of the main scene or main narrative.
Lurking on the outside of the frame
You existed in the background or periphery of someone's life or story.
You found a suit that fits ya
You found a role or position that suits you or fits your persona.
Spent your whole life living on a train
You have spent your entire life in a routine or pattern, not deviating from it.
And when your life gets boring
When life becomes mundane or repetitive,
The spirits come a pouring
Emotions or feelings emerge strongly.
To mask the inner pain
You use various distractions or coping mechanisms to hide or suppress internal suffering.
You set fire to your insides
You engage in self-destructive behaviors, possibly metaphorically or literally.
To keep yourself
To protect your sanity or mental well-being.
From going insane
To prevent yourself from losing your mind.
So light on up
Go ahead and indulge in what provides you comfort.
Because no two flames
No two individuals or experiences are identical.
Glow in the same way
Everyone has a unique way of expressing themselves.
Let it burn
Let that intense passion or urge take control.
That desire to make
The urge or passion to change the future to resemble the past.
Tomorrow yesterday
Now you're at the crossroads
You are at a pivotal moment, unsure of which direction to take.
Looking left and right
Considering various options or paths.
For somewhere new
Seeking a change or new experience.
You think back to the old days
You reminisce about an easier time in your life.
Easy life when you were 22
A simpler life phase when you were younger.
Graduate with honours
Successfully completed academic achievements.
Realise that you don't have a clue
Yet, you are uncertain or lost about your true path or purpose.
What it is that you want to do
You lack clarity or direction in life.
So light on up
Go ahead and indulge in what provides you comfort.
Because no two flames
No two individuals or experiences are identical.
Glow in the same way
Everyone has a unique way of expressing themselves.
Let it burn
Let that intense passion or urge take control.
That desire to make
The urge or passion to change the future to resemble the past.
Tomorrow yesterday
You were saying god
You acknowledge your diminished state or self-worth.
I'm but a shadow of a man
You feel like a mere fraction of your potential or former self.
Gotta get away hatch
Look for an escape or way out.
Yourself a plan
Create a strategy or plan to improve your situation.
Nestled in the rushes
Emotional or vulnerable areas around your heart.
And the soil around your heart
You'll discover a healthier or better approach.
You'll find a better
A new or improved way to begin or initiate something.
Way to make a start
And light on up
Go ahead and indulge in what provides you comfort.
