Lyrics
The mind is grey like the city, packing in and overgrown
The mind is dull and uninspiring like the city, filled and overgrown.
Love is deep, dig it out
Love is profound, requiring deep exploration and understanding.
Standing in a hole alone
Feeling isolated and trapped in a metaphorical hole.
Working for something that one can never hold
Working towards something elusive and unattainable.
A place in the clouds
Desiring a utopian place, possibly representing an ideal state.
Good place to hide oh my oh...
Suggesting the clouds as a good hiding place.
So I'm flying (away, away)
Flying away, possibly escaping from reality.
Driving (away, away)
Driving away, reinforcing the theme of escape.
Finding hope in ways I missed before
Discovering hope in unconventional ways.
I missed before
Reiterating the discovery of hope that was missed before.
The tv, she talks to me
Reference to the influence of television, delivering news and building metaphorical barriers.
Breaking news and building walls
News about current events and the creation of emotional barriers.
Selling me what I don't need
Critique of consumerism, being sold unnecessary items.
I never knew soap made you taller
Commenting on the absurdity of certain beauty standards (tallness achieved through soap).
So I'm riding (away, away)
Riding away, continuing the theme of escape.
Hiding (away, away)
Hiding away, further emphasizing the desire for seclusion.
So much talk it makes no sense at all
Expressing frustration at meaningless talk and information overload.
My senses have gone... awol, awol, awol, awol, awol...
Sensory perception is lost or overwhelmed (AWOL).
So I'm hiding (away, away)
Continuing the theme of hiding away as an escape.
Driving (away, away)
Driving away again, persisting in the theme of escape.
Passing new friends I won't know at all
Passing by new acquaintances without forming meaningful connections.
Won't know at all
Highlighting a lack of knowledge or understanding of new friends.
It doesn't hurt when I bleed
Physical pain is bearable, but emotional scars are more enduring.
But my memories, they eat me
Memories are haunting and emotionally distressing.
I've seen it all before...
Reflecting on past experiences and indicating a sense of inevitability.
Bring it on, cause I'm no victim
Asserting resilience and a refusal to be a victim.
Dying (away, away)
Dying away, suggesting a gradual fading or departure from a situation.
Dying (away, away)
Repetition of the theme of dying away, emphasizing the gradual nature of the process.
Dying
Explicitly stating the act of dying.
Dying...
Reiteration of the inevitability of death.
