Lyrics
Neighbors yellin' through the walls
Neighbors communicating loudly through the walls
Listen close I hear it all
Attentively listening to everything being said
You ain't have a job in so long
Not having a job for an extended period
You know we gotta pay these bills
Acknowledging the necessity to pay bills
Why you keep on taking pills?
Questioning the use of pills, possibly for coping
Don't you know that I need ya
Expressing dependency and need for the person
Don't you know that I'm hurtin'
Conveying emotional pain and distress
Need ya, darlin, it's not worth it
Stating that the relationship is not worth the suffering
I hope they lookin for me
Expressing a desire to be sought after
Like thieves in the night
Comparing others to thieves stealing from the speaker
They keep on stealin' from me
Continuing the theme of feeling robbed or taken advantage of
Let's agree to disagree
Suggesting an agreement to disagree on certain matters
Don't ever silence my chi
Asserting the importance of maintaining one's spiritual energy
They want a ransom
Referring to a demand for payment or redemption
But if you make it yourself the beat is free
Emphasizing the value of creating one's path rather than relying on others
So I been out here for days
Being away from home for an extended period
Don't think I can come home
Expressing uncertainty about returning home without changing behavior
Unless I change up my ways
Implies the need for personal growth and change
I'm sailing lost at sea
Feeling adrift and lost, but finding some solace
But it's been okay
Despite challenges, the situation is bearable
Lighthouse I know they lookin' for me
Aware of being sought or observed, possibly metaphorical
Sailing cross the Atlantic
Using sailing metaphorically to gain new perspectives
Just to gain new perspective
Emphasizing the importance of gaining new insights
I go where the wind go
Going with the flow, adapting to circumstances
Hope you learn all your lessons
Hoping others learn from their experiences
Plastic bag like a tumbleweed aquatic depression
Describing a feeling of aimless drifting and melancholy
I guess they finally found me
Feeling discovered or exposed
I hear the rescue procession it go
Awareness of a rescue effort, possibly metaphorical
I hear the waves crashing
Symbolizing the challenges faced in life
Help is on the way
Expressing hope and anticipation for assistance
Help is on the way
Reiterating the belief that help is on the way
I hear the waves crashing
Repeating the sound of crashing waves as a metaphor
Help is on the way
Reaffirming the expectation of imminent help
Help is on the way
Stating once again that assistance is forthcoming
Neighbors yellin' through the walls
Repeating the scenario of neighbors communicating through walls
Listen close I hear it all
Echoing the earlier theme of attentive listening
You ain't have a job in so long
Reiterating the prolonged unemployment situation
You know we gotta pay these bills
Recalling the responsibility to meet financial obligations
Need ya, darling
Affirming the emotional significance of the relationship
