Lyrics
We're calling all allies down
We are reaching out to our allies for support.
Because we're so sick of waiting around
We are tired of waiting and want action.
Watching you simply destroy yourself,
Observing you harm yourself, possibly through superficial means like cosmetics.
Cosmetics and all
Referencing the use of cosmetics as a form of self-destruction.
Trying to not find your plans,
Attempting to decipher your intentions, similar to searching for something in a vast space.
Like combing the beach with more sand
Describing the difficulty of finding your plans, like searching for something in a place with abundant similar elements.
I'm light of foot and you're light of heart
Comparing lightness of foot and heart, suggesting nimbleness versus emotional weight.
So watch where you step and I'll watch where I stab
Cautioning each other about actions, with potential harm implied.
The end of our rope is a couch
Metaphorically, being at the end of patience or resources, represented as a couch.
And it's hanging us ever so slightly
Feeling the strain, but not to an extreme extent.
Tilt your head so we don't have to
Suggesting avoiding physical effort by tilting the head instead.
Move a muscle at all
Avoiding any movement or action.
Sitting ourselves to a death,
Choosing a slow and non-painful path towards a metaphorical death.
Not painful or quick in the least
Emphasizing the lack of quick pain in the chosen path.
Do we have plans at all?
Questioning if there are any plans or goals at all.
This long weekend was too much for me
Expressing exhaustion after a prolonged weekend.
Too long and difficult to swallow down
Referring to a challenging and hard-to-accept situation.
What have I got to say for myself?
Pondering one's self-worth or contribution to the situation.
Well, I really got that dishwasher good
Noting a mundane accomplishment (dishwasher) in the midst of challenges.
Long day, longer than most I am sure
Reflecting on a particularly long day.
Heat wave, hotter than most I am sure
Experiencing an intense heat wave.
The fan is on, but I am not feeling so cool
Having a physical discomfort despite efforts to alleviate it.
Next to you, I still am not feeling so cool
Feeling uneasy even in the company of someone close.
Yeah, well, I can't stand that look on your face
Disliking a certain expression on someone's face, knowing they caused it.
Because I know you put it there
Fun is how you make it,
Defining fun as a subjective experience rather than a specific location.
Not where you make it, so take it
Encouraging seizing enjoyable moments, regardless of the environment.
Why don't you get your running start,
Suggesting facing challenges with determination.
It fears you just like I do
Highlighting the fear factor in confronting difficulties.
I know you're tired,
Acknowledging fatigue but questioning the significance of the present moment.
I know, but what if this was the last day on earth?
Contemplating the value of the current day as if it were the last on Earth.
