Lyrics
My friend, can't you see it's got too close
Expressing concern about the proximity of a dangerous situation or threat.
Drinking petrol from a hose
Metaphorically describing engaging in risky behavior, possibly self-destructive.
There might not be a glowing spirit to revive you from your overdose
Suggesting a lack of hope for spiritual intervention in case of an overdose.
And I know I can't talk
Acknowledging difficulty in communication during a challenging time.
When it's the third day in and I'm covered in thick black chalk
Describing a state of distress on the third day, possibly alluding to a difficult experience.
We'll climb the highest stalk
Imagery of ascending to great heights, possibly metaphorical for overcoming challenges.
And parachute down like little green soldiers
Using the metaphor of parachuting soldiers to depict a bold and coordinated descent.
Pain in the side, pain in the side
Repetition of pain in the side, potentially symbolizing internal struggles or physical discomfort.
Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Took a bow as falling, shuttering pretty lights
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-And could someone please close the curtains
Expressing discomfort with daylight and a surreal encounter with a faceless man wielding a blade.
'Cause this daylight is making me feel guilty
-A man with no face taps me with his sharp and scary blade
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
Repetition of pain in the side, possibly emphasizing ongoing challenges.
Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Took a bow as falling, shuttering pretty lights
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-There's a man in a cloak
Repetition of a mysterious man in a cloak standing behind, creating an ominous atmosphere.
There's a man in a cloak
-And he's standing behind you
-There's a man in a cloak
-There's a man in a cloak
-And he's standing behind you
-There's a man in a cloak
-There's a man in a cloak
-And he's standing behind you
-There's a man in a cloak
-There's a man in a cloak
-And he's standing behind you
-He's standing behind you
-He's standing behind you
-He's standing behind you
-He's standing behind you
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
Repetition of pain in the side, continuing the theme of internal or external struggles.
Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Took a bow as falling, shuttering pretty lights
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-Beaming up into the other side
-Pain in the side, pain in the side
-And he's standing behind you
Reiteration of the presence of the man in a cloak standing behind, intensifying the sense of unease.
