Drunk at the Airport
Embracing Shadows: Drunk at the Airport's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Crusted over bedroom eyes
Describing tired or worn-out eyes.
Hazy on a new year
Unclear or confused at the beginning of a new year.
Late charges and deadlines
Penalties for lateness and impending deadlines.
Successfully forgotten
Successfully ignored or put out of mind.
Memories become benign
Recollections lose their emotional impact.
The bruise heals
A physical bruise heals.
The pain peels away
The emotional pain diminishes.
Lay her down another lie
Telling another falsehood to someone, possibly to lay them down or deceive.
Fall asleep in the fade
Fading into sleep, escaping reality.
It's just
Introduction to a recurring theme or circumstance.
Drop by drop
A gradual process, perhaps of losing something.
I beg the thieves for change
Pleading with metaphorical thieves for change, seeking transformation.
They ask
The thieves inquire about the purpose or meaning.
"What's it all for?"
Questioning the purpose of life.
I give up I guess I'm born this way
Acceptance of a predetermined nature or identity.
Drunk at the Airport
Being intoxicated at an airport.
It's your ripped up jeans
Attributes of a person, torn jeans, and eyes affected by alcohol.
And liquor eyes
Spreading change, perhaps metaphorical, in a careless manner.
Spilling all elusive change
Reference to transient experiences like hotel rooms and excuses.
Hotel rooms and alibis
Mention of a poisonous or harmful kiss.
It's your strychnine
Acknowledging responsibility for negative actions.
Poison kiss I blame
Claiming the ability to break destructive patterns.
I possess the tools
Being foolishly unaware of problems.
To break these patterns
Seeing the world through optimistic or idealistic lenses.
Hysterically blinded fool
Gradual realization of the need for change.
Rose glasses shattered
The metaphorical glasses that distorted reality are shattered.
Block by block I beg
Continued plea to metaphorical thieves for change.
The thieves for change
The thieves inquire about the purpose or meaning again.
They ask
Repeating the question about life's purpose.
"What's it all for?"
Resignation to a predetermined nature or identity.
I give up I guess I'm born this way
Being intoxicated at an airport again.
Drunk at the Airport
Reiteration of a recurring theme or circumstance.
Whats it all for?
Repeating the question about life's purpose.
Drop by drop
A gradual process, perhaps of losing something, repeated.
I beg the thieves for change
Continued plea to metaphorical thieves for change.
They ask
The thieves inquire about the purpose or meaning again.
"What's it all for?"
Questioning the purpose of life, repeated.
I give up I guess I'm born this way
Resignation to a predetermined nature or identity, repeated.
Drunk at the Airport
Being intoxicated at an airport again, repeated.
Drunk at the Airport
Being intoxicated at an airport, repeated.
Drop by drop
A gradual process, perhaps of losing something, repeated.
I beg the thieves for change
Continued plea to metaphorical thieves for change, repeated.
Drop by drop
-I beg the thieves for change
-Drop by drop
