Lyrics

It's seems to be moving real fast, to fast to understand

Expressing a sense of life moving too quickly and being challenging to comprehend.

The weekends roll on over deja vu, revive, repeat

Describing the repetitive nature of weekends, feeling like a cycle of déjà vu.

And when I should be getting sleep

Acknowledging the need for sleep but choosing to engage in the nightlife instead.

I dance these cobblestone streets

Metaphorically dancing through difficult or challenging situations symbolized by cobblestone streets.

To give my tiny time meaning

Seeking to find significance and purpose in the limited time available.


How can we dream

Raising the question of how one can dream or aspire while stuck in a monotonous routine.

When we're stuck in this routine?

Highlighting the difficulty of dreaming in the midst of a repetitive lifestyle.

I'm television static

Comparing oneself to television static, suggesting a lack of clarity or purpose.

On a Monday

Emphasizing the mundane nature of Mondays, possibly a symbol for the start of the workweek.


Like a Bengal tiger

Using the imagery of a Bengal tiger to convey a sense of power or intensity.

I'm high as a kite

Feeling euphoric or exhilarated, perhaps from a heightened state of being.

Your ribbons are chains

Describing personal restrictions or limitations using the metaphor of ribbons as chains.

That big cat barely remains

Suggesting that the powerful or intense aspects are diminishing or fading away.

And your in the photo

Referencing someone being captured in a moment, possibly in a photograph.

Cause I dance these cobblestone streets

Reiterating the act of dancing through challenging situations for meaning and purpose.

To give my tiny time meaning

Continuing the theme of seeking meaning in the limited time available.


How can we dream

When I wake my organs shake

They are unhappy with my mistakes

Expressing dissatisfaction with personal mistakes and their impact on well-being.

Like sleeping tigers, I dreamed of it

Recalling dreams involving powerful and dangerous creatures like sleeping tigers.

And screeching clocks, they melt ticking

Depicting the disruption of time, possibly symbolizing a distorted or unsettling experience.
